Medical disclaimer
The Specialist Sports Medicine website provides general health information only. Content on this website is not a substitute for an in-person assessment with a qualified medical practitioner.
General information only
The information published on this website by Specialist Sports Medicine and Specialist Sport and Exercise Medicine Network Pty Ltd is general health information. It is intended to support patients, referrers, and the wider community to understand sport and exercise medicine and the conditions we assess and manage.
Content on this website does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It is not a substitute for an in-person consultation with a qualified medical practitioner who has examined you, reviewed your history, and considered your individual circumstances.
Using this website, or contacting us through it, does not create a doctor-patient relationship. That relationship begins only when you are seen in consultation.
In an emergency, call 000. This website cannot help in an emergency. If you or someone else is seriously unwell or injured, telephone 000, or attend your nearest hospital emergency department, immediately.
Always consult a qualified medical professional
If you have a health concern, please book an appointment with your GP, with the clinic, or with another appropriately qualified health practitioner. Do not change a treatment plan, stop a medication, or undertake a new exercise programme based on what you read on this website without first speaking to your treating practitioners.
To book at Specialist Sports Medicine, call (07) 5415 0428.
Currency of information
Clinical guidelines, evidence, and standards of care in sport and exercise medicine evolve. The information on this website is current at the time of publication, but may not reflect the latest research or the most recent guideline updates. Pages are reviewed periodically. Where a page has been updated, the date of the update is shown on the page.
Always discuss the most current management options with your treating practitioner.
Individual variation
Sport and exercise medicine is highly individual. Two people with the same diagnosis can have different recovery trajectories, different responses to the same treatment, and different optimal management plans. The general descriptions of conditions and treatments on this website may not apply to your specific situation.
Outcomes are not guaranteed
Where this website describes potential benefits of treatments or pathways, those descriptions are based on published evidence and clinical experience. Individual outcomes vary. The website does not promise particular results, recovery timelines, or symptom improvement, and any such language elsewhere should be read as a general expectation rather than an assured outcome.

We do not endorse, and accept no responsibility for, the accuracy, currency, or content of any external website.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, Dr Kimberley Wells, Specialist Sport and Exercise Medicine Network Pty Ltd, and Specialist Sports Medicine accept no liability for any loss, injury, claim, or damage of any kind suffered as a result of reliance on information published on this website.
Nothing in this disclaimer is intended to limit any rights or remedies you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.
