Pain Management

Suffer from osteoarthritis or think you’re at risk? Our pain management experts can help.

Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis, affecting 2.2 million Australians—that’s nearly 10% of the population.¹

Osteoarthritis causes the cartilage in our bone joints to break down, which results in our bones rubbing together. ¹ The symptoms of osteoarthritis vary between people and can change over time, but some common symptoms include joint swelling, stiffness, reduced range of motion, and, ultimately, pain.²

Osteoarthritis can affect anyone, but some key risk factors include advancing age, being overweight, being female, and everyday movements associated with some jobs.²

Osteoarthritis is a chronic condition without a cure, and it usually gets worse over time.¹ The good news is osteoarthritis—and the pain it causes—can be managed so you can still live life to its fullest. If you suffer from osteoarthritis, it’s so important to get your pain management right.
