How Dr Jacqui Can Help

Dr. Jacqui Clark will spend time understanding your circumstances, your natural characteristics before you had your pain, your difficulties and realistic goals. She will also assess your movement patterns and your ability to feel different normal sensations. Discussion with you will involve understanding your own capacity and how to tailor rehab to suit you.

Often the first priority is to give you a full understanding of your pain and triggers.

Then working on ways to reduce the nerve sensitivity is key. Rehab may also include restoring your normal sensations in your back instead of predominantly pain, restoring your sense of safety in your spine and restoring your confidence in your back’s ability to move safely.

Dr Jacqui may follow the newly published Fit for Purpose model for persistent low back pain, if appropriate, which is hot off the research press.

Dr Jacqui may also recommend additional assessments or support as necessary,to complete your picture, such as:

  • A clinical nutritionist
  • A pain or trauma psychologist
  • A sleep assessment
  • An autonomic stress test
  • Blood tests
  • Xray or ultrasound scans
  • Rheumatologist, ENT specialist or neurologist if necessary.
