“Alert” There it is again, another software alert for a person with a high risk claim that's not progressing
with usual care after a work injury.
What options do you have to help this person?
Surgery, interventional pain management and long-term practitioner treatment not only drive up costs, but they
are not the best pathway to recovery for someone with persisting pain. The longer someone has pain, the less
strongly that pain is associated with tissue damage that can be "fixed".
Pain that persists is caused by changes in the brain and nervous system, as well as body changes due to
inactivity. The cycle of pain, loss of physical function and psychosocial changes results in the patterns of
disability associated with chronic pain. Understanding the role of the brain in pain, and working holistically
with education, movement and psychologically-informed behavour change can help people break themselves out of
the pain cycle.
Brain Changer delivers this evidence-based pain care as a systematised 12-week program run by upskilled
registered health professionals via telemedicine.
Persisting pain can affect people's life for decades, if not for their lifetime.
Contemporary pain science shows us that people have more potential for recovery than previously thought IF
they get the right, science-based treatment.
Brain Changer's program is designed to give you an easy-to-make early intervention referral pathway for
holistic, evidence-based care available anywhere via telemedicine.
Is recovery from persisting pain realistic and reasonable?
A modern, scientific understanding of pain says "yes" and the many people that have recovered to full and
active lives are a testament to that.
Recovery is different to management of pain. Management requires learning to live and work around pain.
Managing pain keeps someone always fearful and looking out for things that they can't do.
A science-based approach to recovery means finding ways to do challenging activities in a way that enables
positive adaptations and increased capacity.
A science-based approach requires active engagement of the person and their capacity for learning and
adapting in a personalised system of self-management of body, mind and social factors.
Do you wonder what you're paying for when you approve a treatment plan?
Plans and protocols vary from clinician to clinician, especially treating persisting pain.
It's too easy for people that are not progressing to get lost in the system.
Not only do they miss the care they need, but they become expensive claims.
Brain Changer's program is data-driven and outcome measured for functional, behavioural and learning related
change over time.
Brain Changer's coaches provide you with feedback and reports throughout the program so you know how your
claimant is progressing. This feedback and measurement assists case management and goal achievement across
the whole care team.
