Between school drop-offs, shift work and weekend sport, looking after your own aches tends to come last. If a sore back, a tight neck or a knee that complains on the stairs has been hanging around, that is common, and it is nothing to apologise for. Evolution Medical Care is a healthcare clinic in the centre of Penrith offering a wide range of treatments, and we have been here since 2010.

The drive from Cranebrook

Cranebrook does not have its own train station, so most people from here drive in, heading south into the centre of Penrith. If you would rather not drive, check the current bus options from Cranebrook to Penrith. From Penrith station, the clinic is in the town centre, directly across from the Penrith RSL.

If you drive, we have a private car park behind the clinic with up to 13 spaces, entered from O’Farrell Lane. There is also free 1-hour parking on the clinic’s side of Castlereagh Street. Our directions page shows the layout.

Looking after the people who look after everyone else

Many of the people who contact us from this part of Penrith are juggling a household, a job or both. A few situations come up often, and we would rather you ask than guess whether we can help:

  • A parent who is lifting, carrying and bending all day, with lower back pain as a result.
  • A tradesperson or warehouse worker with shoulder pain that makes overhead work difficult.
  • Someone who sits for long periods and notices neck tension building up.
  • A teenager or adult athlete with tight muscles after training.

Your practitioner will explain what treatment is likely to involve before it begins, and what it can and cannot be expected to do.

Treatments we offer

We offer a wider range of care than many people expect. After your first assessment, your practitioner will suggest what suits you:

We also treat people through funded care, including Support at Home, the NDIS, workers compensation and CTP claims.

Bringing the family

Sometimes it is easier to look after a few people in one trip. If you would like to bring a partner or other family member, mention it when you book so we can see what times are available.

Your first appointment

We ask new patients to arrive at least 15 minutes early to fill in forms, to wear comfortable clothing and to bring any scans, referral letters or medication lists. After that, your practitioner talks with you, examines the area that is troubling you and explains the plan. Our first appointment page goes through the details.

If you would like to explore how a personalised, science-based approach may support your back, neck and shoulders, we would be glad to help. Book an appointment online or call us on (02) 4709 6727. We look forward to discussing how we can help in your situation.
