Pain in Neuro - Rheumatological Conditions

Neuro-rheumatological conditions encompass a range of disorders that affect the nervous system, muscles, joints, connective tissues, and immune system. Many of these conditions are associated with persistent pain, fatigue, muscle weakness, stiffness, reduced mobility, and difficulties participating in everyday activities.

Pain experienced in neuro-rheumatological conditions can arise from a combination of factors, including inflammation, changes within the nervous system, altered movement patterns, muscle weakness, joint dysfunction, reduced physical activity, and secondary musculoskeletal complications. As a result, pain can be complex and may significantly impact physical function, independence, and quality of life.

At Neurovia, we understand that effective management of these conditions requires more than simply treating pain. We take the time to conduct thorough assessments to identify the factors contributing to your symptoms and develop an individualised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, goals, and level of function.

Our approach focuses on improving mobility, strength, endurance, physical function, and confidence while helping individuals better understand and manage their pain. Treatment may include education, exercise therapy, movement retraining, fatigue management strategies, mobility training, equipment prescription, pacing techniques, and support to develop long-term self-management skills.

We commonly assist individuals living with conditions such as:

• Multiple sclerosis (MS)

• Rheumatoid arthritis

• Ankylosing spondylitis

• Psoriatic arthritis

• Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)

• Sjögren's syndrome

• Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma)

• Vasculitis

• Inflammatory myopathies

• Other autoimmune, inflammatory, neurological, and rheumatological conditions

  
  

Our goal is to help individuals maximise their physical function, maintain independence, and improve quality of life through compassionate, evidence-based care that considers the complex interaction between the nervous system, immune system, and musculoskeletal system.
