Arthritis South Australia Chronic Pain Video

We all experience pain from time to time, but for 1 in 5 Australians this pain is chronic (long-lasting), the impact affecting many aspects of their lives. Pain doesn’t discriminate and effects people of all ages and life stages, but new knowledge and understanding of the best ways of managing chronic pain show that, rather than medication being the only option, there are many lifestyle strategies that can help people to self-manage their pain. Arthritis SA, with support from Country SA PHN, are proud to launch a new animation highlighting the strategies that are recommended in the management of chronic pain, a discussion with your GP being an important first step. This animation will appear on TV screens in GP practice waiting rooms in regional SA during May and June.
