Thank you for visiting the website of the Australian Pain Society (APS).
The APS is a group of health professionals, scientists and researches who are interested in advancing the field of pain management.
It is important to explain that the APS is not able to provide specific advice to individuals with pain. However, the APS has several general guidelines available on the Position Papers page.
Also, on the Consumer Information and links page there are numerous other web sites that provide excellent information for people in pain and their families.
The APS hope this information is helpful to you but would like to remind you to see your doctor or other health professional if you have ongoing concerns.
