About the Founder
Dr. Dan O'Dea is a Specialist General Practitioner with advanced expertise in the fields of musculoskeletal and pain medicine.
With 15 years experience in anaesthetics and pain medicine, and extended training with the Australian Association of Musculoskeletal Medicine (and current Board Member), he is well equipped to deal with patients with complex pain needs.
His comprehensive approach combines advanced clinical and diagnostic assessment of complex or prolonged pain conditions. He utilises state of the art diagnostic and treatment techniques, with personalised treatment plans to address a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders and chronic pain conditions. Procedurally, Dr O’Dea has a passion for non-operative and regenerative treatments to promote tissue healing and permanent recovery of chronic injuries, rather than just masking the pain. This is especially useful for patients and practitioners who prefer to avoid steroids, however, all multimodal treatment options will be considered.
