Rebuilding lives for people with chronic pain
Who we are
LINK CPR is a rehabilitation service set up by clinicians experienced in the field of chronic pain. The service aims to provide community-based, multi-disciplinary rehabilitation for individuals impacted by chronic pain following injury or medical negligence in the South-East.
Chronic pain is a frequent factor limiting a client’s function, independence, social life and preventing them from returning to fulfilling activities.
Chronic pain can affect any area of the body, and we know that the psychological and social impact of pain has a significant role in maintaining and exacerbating symptoms. We work with all clients with chronic pain, whatever the cause, whatever the body part affected.
What we do
Some typical clients that we work with include individuals with:
- Chronic low back pain with or without referred pain
- Cauda Equina syndrome
- Amputees with phantom limb pain
- Chronic widespread pain/fibromyalgia
- Neck pain that has been resistant to usual therapies
- Neuropathic pain following nerve injury
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Our service aims to work with individuals in their own home/work/community to help them to manage and minimise their pain symptoms and to move forwards with achieving their life goals.
We recognise that long term pain can often not be cured but that a chronic pain sufferer can move to become a chronic pain survivor given the right therapy and support.
Our multidisciplinary team
Our multi-disciplinary team includes physiotherapists, clinical psychologists, occupational therapists, mindfulness practitioners and we have developed links with pain consultants.
Research into chronic pain has highlighted the need for a multi-disciplinary pain management approach as the gold standard, and NICE Guidelines developed for chronic pain recommend the need for physical and psychological interventions to achieve the best outcomes.
That is what we offer clients here at LINK CPR - highly specialist, multi-professional bespoke programmes tailored to the needs of clients with chronic pain of all kinds.
