Frequently AskedΒ Questions

What is Complex Regional Pain Syndrome?

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is a persistent pain condition that most commonly affects an arm, hand, leg or foot. It often develops following an injury, fracture or surgery, although the exact cause is not always understood.

Symptoms can include severe pain, sensitivity to touch, swelling, stiffness and changes in the temperature, colour or sweating of the affected area.

What happens after I complete the online health check?

After completing the online check, you’ll be invited to book a conversation with one of our nurses. The nurse will review your information, discuss your symptoms and medical history, and help prepare you for a doctor consultation.

You’ll then speak with a registered Australian doctor who will assess your circumstances and discuss suitable treatment options. If treatment is clinically appropriate and prescribed, you’ll be able to order online and arrange express delivery to your home.

How much does it cost to get started?

Getting started is affordable and straightforward:

  • Standard Consultation: $19
  • Concession Card Holders: $15

What does the $19 consultation fee cover?

The $19 fee covers your 20-minute doctor consultation. Your online eligibility check and initial nurse consultation are free. Any additional costs associated with a treatment plan are separate and will be explained before you proceed.

How do I know which treatment is appropriate for me?

Our team will work with you to determine the most suitable treatment through a comprehensive consultation. We take into account your individual health history, current symptoms, and any previous treatments you've tried to create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Can I book if previous treatments have not helped?

Yes. You can request a consultation if previous approaches have not provided the support you hoped for. The doctor will review your medical history, current medicines and previous treatments before discussing whether any other options may be appropriate. No particular treatment or outcome can be guaranteed.

Do I need a prescription to use your treatments?

In most cases, yes, a prescription is required for our treatments. Our healthcare professionals will assess your condition and, if appropriate, provide a prescription as part of your personalised treatment plan.

Can you tell me in advance what treatment I will receive?

No. Treatment cannot be selected or recommended before the doctor has assessed your individual circumstances.

If the doctor determines that treatment is appropriate, they will discuss suitable options with you during your private consultation.

Are there any hidden fees I should be aware of?

No. We are very transparent with our pricing, there are no additional fees, lock-in contracts, medical report fees, or extra prescription fees like some other clinics.

Does a consultation guarantee treatment or a prescription?

No. The doctor makes an independent clinical decision based on your individual circumstances. If the service or a particular treatment is not appropriate for you, the team will explain the available next steps.

βœ… Your symptoms have been medically assessed
βœ… Pain continues to affect your daily life
βœ… You currently see a GP or pain specialist
βœ… You’ve tried other management approaches

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

CRPS is a persistent pain condition that most commonly affects an arm, hand, leg or foot. It frequently begins after an injury, fracture or surgery, although symptoms can be more severe or continue for longer than would ordinarily be expected from the original injury.

The cause is not completely understood. CRPS may involve changes in pain signalling, inflammation, blood flow, movement and the nervous system. Symptoms and their severity can differ considerably between individuals.

CRPS following an injury or surgery

CRPS may begin following a fracture, sprain, penetrating injury or surgical procedure. The original injury may appear relatively minor compared with the severity or duration of the subsequent symptoms.

Sensitivity and physical changes

The affected area may become extremely sensitive to touch or temperature. Some people also experience swelling or changes in skin colour, temperature, sweating, hair growth or nail growth.

Movement and everyday function

Pain, stiffness, weakness, tremors or muscle spasms may make movement difficult. CRPS can also affect sleep, work, independence and emotional wellbeing, making coordinated and ongoing care particularly important.
