At Hunter Allied Care we know pain can be debilitating, we are here to help you become yourself again.In welcoming rooms located at 44 Hudson Street Hamilton NSW, you will find our highly experienced Allied Health team working alongside Newcastle’s leading Neurosurgeon, Dr Peter Spittaler.Psychology plays an important role in easing patients suffering and supporting patients through trauma, pain management, and more. We offer pre-operative psychology sessions and evaluation that can help you understand the expected outcomes of surgery and give you a clearer indication of the expected success and what to expect post surgery.
Undergoing surgery can have an affect on returning to work, withdrawal from social activities, and physiotherapy rehabilitation. All these things evoke anxiety, disrupt quality of life, and can play havoc with pain beliefs. Pre and post operative psychology sessions can help with setting appropriate recovery goals, increase your motivation, reduce fear and anxiety about surgical procedures. Sessions can also help with understanding the interaction between pain and mood, reduce emotional stress, help you with strategies and skills to cope with stress and pain.
