Modern open setting with the latest equipment available for you

Our multidisciplinary clinic has an open plan gym setting and adjoining Pilates and Exercise Studio. We ensure that the latest, most up to date equipment is available to give you the complete treatment that you’re looking for.

Keeping up to date with cutting edge treatments is important to us. We now have available a Real Time Ultrasound unit (RTUS). RTUS has been shown to be the most accurate tool for assessing the muscles of the pelvic floor, deep lower back and abdominal stabilising muscles. Whilst getting visual feedback, clients are best able to understand the concept of recruiting these muscles.

In addition to physiotherapy, we offer a wide range of complimentary health and medical services. In particular, a sports physician, specialist doctor in the field of sports medicine is available within the clinic. There is also a podiatrist and we have a range of psychology services available, giving you the option of choosing which profession best suits your needs.

We have also just completed our refurbishment creating a new gymnasium incorporating new equipment such as a treadmill, free weights, and weights machine. Programs are given to improve muscle strength, endurance and function.

Cleaning & Prevention

A preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve the natural dentition and supporting structures by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions.

Preventing dental diseases starts at home with good oral hygiene and a balanced diet. It is continued in the dental office by the efforts of your dentist and dental hygienist to promote, restore, and maintain your oral health.

Prevention also includes regular dental exams, cleanings, and X-rays. Sealants and fluoride are also great preventive treatments that help protect the teeth.

Prevention helps avoid serious and costly dental problems and is the key to having a healthy, confident and beautiful smile.

Cosmetic Dentistry

In the past decade there has been a dramatic interest in cosmetic dentistry. We all realise that having a healthy, bright and beautiful smile enhances our appearance and allows us to smile with confidence. Thanks to advances in modern cosmetic dentistry, we are able to improve our teeth and smiles with quick, painless and surprisingly affordable treatments.

Cosmetic dental treatments can:

    Change the size, shape, and alignment of certain teeth
    Fill in unattractive spaces between teeth
    Improve or correct bites
    Lighten or brighten the colour of teeth
    Repair decayed, broken, cracked, or chipped teeth
    Replace missing teeth
    Replace old, unattractive dental treatments

Restorations
It’s great news that the incidence of tooth decay has significantly diminished over the years due to the use of fluorides and an increase in patient awareness. However, teeth are still susceptible to decay, infection, and breakage and sometimes need to be restored back to health. Through improved techniques and modern technology, we are now able to offer more options for restoring a tooth back to its normal shape, appearance and function.

Should your teeth ever require a restorative treatment, you can rest assured knowing we will always discuss with you the available options, and recommend what we believe to be the most comfortable and least invasive treatment. Providing you with excellent care is our number one priority when creating your beautiful smile.

Reasons for restorative dentistry:

    Enhance your smile
    Fill in spaces between teeth
    Improve or correct an improper bite
    Prevent the loss of a tooth
    Relieve dental pain
    Repair damaged and decayed teeth
    Replace missing teeth
    Replace old, unattractive dental treatments
    Restore normal eating and chewing

Orthodontics

Recent years have brought about many changes within the dental industry, specifically with regards to orthodontic treatment and care. Now more than ever patients are experiencing fewer incidences of cavities and missing teeth due to the heightened awareness of fluoride use and preventative dentistry. This increasing awareness on the health and look of a patient’s smile has fueled the desire for many to seek out orthodontia not only as a medical necessity, but for cosmetic reasons as well.

Periodontal disease

The word periodontal means “around the tooth”. Periodontal disease attacks the gums and the bone that support the teeth. Plaque is a sticky film of food debris, bacteria, and saliva. If plaque is not removed, it turns into calculus (tartar). When plaque and calculus are not removed, they begin to destroy the gums and bone. Periodontal disease is characterised by red, swollen, and bleeding gums.

Four out of five people have periodontal disease and don’t know it! Most people are not aware of it because the disease is usually painless in the early stages.

Not only is it the number one reason for tooth loss, research suggests that there may be a link between periodontal disease and other diseases such as, stroke, bacterial pneumonia, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and increased risk during pregnancy. Researchers are determining if inflammation and bacteria associated with periodontal disease affects these systemic diseases and conditions. Smoking also increases the risk of periodontal disease.

Good oral hygiene, a balanced diet, and regular dental visits can help reduce your risk of developing periodontal disease.
Signs and symptoms of periodontal disease:

    Bleeding gums - Gums should never bleed, even when you brush vigorously or use dental floss
    Loose teeth - Also caused by bone loss or weakened periodontal fibres (fibres that support the tooth to the bone)
    New spacing between teeth - Caused by bone loss
    Persistent bad breath - Caused by bacteria in the mouth
    Pus around the teeth and gums - Sign that there is an infection present
    Receding gums - Loss of gum around a tooth
    Red and puffy gums - Gums should never be red or swollen
    Tenderness or Discomfort - Plaque, calculus, and bacteria irritate the gums and teeth

Dr Andrew Stirling, Vein Remedy Clinic Launceston

Andrew Stirling, Vein Remedies

Doctor Stirling has a B Sc. degree with a Class 1 honours in Immunology and Dip. Education as well as his medical degree from the University of Newcastle. He relinquished a Commonwealth Scholarship whilst doing a Ph.D. in Immunology, to undertake a Bachelor of Medicine and subsequently gained Fellowships of the RACGP and FACP. For the last 12 years he has specialised almost entirely in Phlebology (the study of Diseases of the Veins and Lymphatics). During that time Doctor Stirling has attended or presented to every national conference in Phlebology organised by the Australasian College as well as every World meeting of the International Union of Phlebology (UIP).

He currently uses endovenous laser techniques, surgery and sclerotherapy, although he has had experience with V Beam, YAG, Copper Bromide and Light Sheer lasers as well as the medical and cosmetic use of botulinum toxin.

One exception to working in the field of venous disease, is Dr Stirling’s interest in Andrology where he is proud of his association with Metrocentre to whom he provides surgical services. With up to 8 open ended vasectomies done per week in Melbourne he is perhaps the most practised proponent of this technique resident in Tasmania.

Doctor Stirling first graduated with a degree in marine biology from the James Cook University in Townsville, and although this was a career that fitted with his love of water related adventure sports like Scuba diving, kayaking and sailing, the life of a research scientist was ultimately not fully compatible with Andrew’s need for community contribution. This naturally led to the study of medicine, and afterwards, appropriate hospital training in obstetrics, anaesthetics, general medicine and surgery – more particularly plastic surgery with the accent on trauma repair and skin cancer removal rather than the purely cosmetic side of this specialty.

Later came some years in the Solomon Islands working on behalf of AUSAID, where he became the Director of Medical Services for the Western Province. After two years with over seven hundred deliveries, all manner of surgery and a constant stream of tropical infections from Malaria to Mycosis, Dr Stirling felt the call to a specialisation where surgical or procedural dexterity was a premium asset, but the on-call was not 24/7. Venous disease was the perfect choice.

If you are a venous disease sufferer you will know that if you have progressed to the stage of reflux discomfort, DVT or non-healing ulceration then the impact is profound. However venous disease and associated lymphatic problems remains largely an ignored field. It has become something Dr Stirling is passionate about and you will receive attentive, professional and compassionate care at the Vein Remedies Clinic. All procedural work is done on site with a consequently negligible infection rate and an accent on ‘Walk in – Walk out’ management of conditions regardless of how severe the problem. We will do most relevant investigations ‘there and then’ however some imaging as well as some specialised procedures may be referred to colleagues who have made such their area of expertise.
