Introduction

Chronic pain can affect every part of life, from mobility and sleep to mental health and work. When traditional medicines have not provided the desired results, some patients explore alternative therapies. Telehealth makes this process easier, more private, and more accessible.

The Impact of Chronic Pain

Conditions like arthritis, back pain, migraines, and fibromyalgia affect millions of Australians. Ongoing pain can disrupt routines, reduce independence, and take a toll on emotional wellbeing.

Why Alternative Pathways Are Explored

Some patients consider alternative therapy for:
– A holistic or natural approach.
– Situations where standard treatments haven’t delivered.
– The desire for a personalised care pathway.
– Accessing treatment from the privacy of home.

How the Telehealth Process Works

Through AusMedClinic, patients can:
1. Complete a pre-qualification questionnaire.
2. Meet with a doctor via secure telehealth.
3. If suitable, receive an e-script.
4. Collect prescribed treatments from a licensed pharmacy.

Important Considerations

Every patient is unique. Doctors make decisions about suitability based on medical history, current needs, and regulations. Alternative therapies are always prescription-only and guided by TGA compliance.

Lifestyle Support for Pain Management

Patients may also benefit from physiotherapy, exercise programs, mindfulness techniques, or dietary changes. These can complement alternative therapies to improve overall quality of life.
