Low Level Laser Therapy for Pain :

Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT), also known as Low Level Laser Therapy, is now available at Mount Evelyn Doctors as part of our musculoskeletal pain management services.
PBM has been shown to help with : ✔ Pain Relief ✔ Tissue Repair ✔ Promote Healing

Photobiomodulation Therapy works by delivering specific wavelengths of therapeutic light to the affected area. This may help:
• Reduce inflammation
• Decrease pain
• Support tissue healing
• Improve function

Unlike steroid injections, PBMT is non-invasive, drug-free and painless. It can be used as an alternative or as part of a broader management plan, depending on your individual circumstances.

At Mount Evelyn Doctors, treatment is provided by our Nurse Practitioner Lucy Wadsley to ensure appropriate care. If you’re experiencing musculoskeletal pain and want to explore non-invasive options, book an appt with NP Lucy for an assessment

Who injects you matters more than you think !
A recent Australian tribunal decision found a nurse guilty of professional misconduct after unlawfully injecting botulinum toxin without a doctor’s consultation or prescription.
The investigation also uncovered false records and attempts to discourage patients from cooperating with authorities.

This isn’t about alarm.
It’s about standards.

At our clinic:
All injectable treatments are doctor-led
Medical consultation happens before treatment
Patient safety and informed consent come first

Heart Health Checks for Men 40–70

One of our patients Mark, a 52-year-old tradie, fit, never smoked came in for what he thought was just a routine heart health assessment. He felt perfectly fine. No chest pain. No breathlessness. No red flags. But something had changed 'his risk profile'.

Here’s what we uncovered:
• His calculated cardiovascular risk was elevated, higher than expected for his age.
• We referred him for a coronary calcium score.
• His result came back over 3000 — dangerously high level of calcified plaque.

This triggered an urgent CT coronary angiogram, which showed severe blockages.
Within days, he underwent life-saving angiogram & angioplasty.

He walked out grateful — but he walked out thinking : If he had skipped this check, his family may have found him collapsed one morning. And remember — he had zero symptoms.

So Here’s how you can protect themselves:
Step 1 – Know your numbers
BP, cholesterol, blood sugar, Family History — the quiet warning signs.
Step 2 – Calculate your coronary risk - Get a Heart Health assessment
Step 3 – Investigate early when risk appears
A calcium score or CTCA can detect life-threatening disease before symptoms begin.

If you’re a man aged over 40, especially with family history, high blood pressure, cholesterol, stress or abdominal weight — don’t wait for symptoms.

Book with Nurse Practitioner Lucy for an initial consult .
