Pain & Anxiety Virtual Clinic
If you suffer from either anxiety or chronic pain and have tried multiple medications to relieve your symptoms, without success, our Pain & Anxiety Online Clinic may offer a solution.
With most prescription medications, the side effects often outweigh the benefits. We apply the principles of functional medicine to address the underlying drivers of your symptoms, before we offer plant-based solutions like medicinal cannabis and natural supplements.
Our aim is to help you manage your symptoms while reducing your dependency on prescription medications.

How does the Clinic work?
Important information about medicinal cannabis
As medicinal cannabis is only available through the Special Access Scheme and not yet registered with the TGA, patients need to meet certain criteria before they can access this medication. To see if you qualify, please book a free screening call, and complete the patient registration form.
PLEASE NOTE
It is important that your treating doctor knows that you are considering medicinal cannabis. For this reason, we would appreciate a referral or at least a complete health summary from your regular GP.
The Kintsugi Health Initial Assessment is a comprehensive medical, lifestyle and nutritional assessment designed to identify any underlying drivers of your symptoms.
This includes a review of previous medications and treatments and a comprehensive health screen (Medicare covered).
Actionable education is a core philosophy at Kintsugi Health, and we want to make sure you feel empowered to make informed choices about your health and wellbeing.
Prior to your first appointment at the clinic, you will receive educational information about medicinal cannabis which we strongly encourage you to read.
If you have have questions, you will have an opportunity to these answered during this first appointment.
You will also be asked to sign a consent form and complete baseline evaluation forms. These evaluation forms help us keep track of your progress.
During your second consultation you will be provided with a tailored management plan which will include lifestyle and nutritional interventions in addition to relevant scripts and dosing details.
Scripts are electronically sent to a dedicated pharmacy. Your medication can either be collected or delivered to you via courier.
Initial review appointments will take place every 3 weeks until you are on a stable CBD dose.
Thereafter you will be reviewed every 2 – 3 months.
These appointments provide us with the opportunity to review and adjust your management plan.
It is important that your regular GP or treating specialist is on board to help with dose adjustments of your regular medications where indicated.
