No, Dr Jacqui believes that often using their own physical strategies and self-management tools can control pain without extra medications. She does not alter the current medications unless there is cause for concern, in which case she will liaise with you or their GP.
Yes. However, ideally they would continue with their own therapist under Dr Jacqui's guidance, due to capacity limits.
However, if their own therapist/physio is not equipped or is unable to provide them with the care they need, patient-led rehabilitation can be guided by Dr Jacqui over 4 more follow up reviews.
ACC allow one assessment and 4 follow-up reviews, fully funded, in total, to see Dr Jacqui when referred for Specialist Physiotherapy assessment.
Private clients are not restricted to the number of sessions with Dr Jacqui, to suit their needs.
Telehealth is available to patients instead of in-person sessions.
