You might be putting off a visit because it feels like one more thing to organise. When the stiff knee or aching back is slowing you down at home, it helps to know the clinic is close. Evolution Medical Care is a healthcare clinic in Penrith, on the other side of the Nepean River from Emu Plains, and we have been caring for the local community since 2010.
The short hop across the river
Emu Plains is one of the closest suburbs to us. By car, you cross the Nepean River and you are in the middle of Penrith. By train, Emu Plains station is one stop from Penrith. From Penrith station, the clinic is in the town centre, directly across from the Penrith RSL.
Parking is straightforward for most visits. Our private car park sits behind the clinic, with up to 13 spaces, and is reached from O’Farrell Lane, so you do not have to hunt for a space on the main street. More detail is on our directions page.
If getting around is part of the problem
Not everyone who lives near the station wants to drive, and not everyone is able to. For some people, a short ride and a short walk is far more practical than a long one. If getting here is a worry, please tell us when you book, and we will talk through what is easiest.
People sometimes ask whether they can come with a partner, a friend or a family member. Having someone with you is fine, and if you are booking on behalf of someone else, just let us know when you call.
Common reasons people come in
Joint stiffness, muscle tension and persistent aches are among the most common things we see. Here is a snapshot of areas where our treatments are often used, and your practitioner will be honest about what they can and cannot do for you:
- Back pain and sciatica, including pain that runs into the leg.
- Shoulder pain that limits reaching or lifting.
- Neck pain and tension.
- Tight, overworked muscles.
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:
- Acupuncture and Electro-Acupuncture.
- Remedial Massage, Trigger Point Therapy and Lymphatic Drainage.
- Cupping Therapy.
- Chinese Herbal Medicine.
- Natural fertility support.
We also treat people through funded care, including Support at Home, the NDIS, workers compensation and CTP claims.
What the first appointment looks like
Your practitioner begins by listening. They will ask how things are affecting your sleep, your work and your day to day, then explain what they find and what they suggest. Nothing is rushed, and you can ask as many questions as you like. If you have recent scans, referral letters or test results, bring them along. There is more on our first appointment page.
If you would like to explore how a personalised, science-based approach may support your joint and muscle pain, 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.
