July 2025 National Pain Week & Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month
National Pain Week
21st – 27th July 2025
National Pain Week is an annual event in Australia focused on raising awareness about chronic pain and supporting those who live with it. Organised by Chronic Pain Australia, the aim is to encourage people to learn more about pain management. There are 3.6 million Australians living with chronic pain.
Chronic pain is long standing pain that persists beyond the usual recovery period or occurs along with a chronic health condition, such as arthritis. Chronic pain may be “on” and “off” or continuous. Living with chronic pain can be incredibly challenging, impacting nearly every aspect of life. It may affect people to the point that they can’t work, eat properly, take part in physical activity, or enjoy life.
Help us raise awareness to this invisible burden. At Walkley, our Chiropractors are able to offer support and advice, making recommendations for treatment plans to help alleviate pain. If you need an appointment please call on 9791 1053
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves , finely minced
1 onion , finely chopped
500g beef mince
2 tsp Italian herbs
2 tbsp tomato paste
400g can crushed tomatoes
1/2 tsp chilli flakes (optional)
1 1/2 tsp cooking salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 cups chicken stock
350g fusilli or other short pasta
3/4 cups thickened cream
Parmesan cheese and parsley to serve
METHOD:
- Heat the oil on high heat in a large heavy-based pot. Cook garlic and onion for 1 1/2 minutes.
- Cook beef & seasonings – Add beef and cook, breaking it up as you go, until you can no longer see red meat. Add the Italian herbs and cook for 30 seconds, then add tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to cook out the raw flavour.
- Add crushed tomato, chicken stock, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes, if using. Stir, then add the pasta.
- Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cook for 15 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes then more frequently towards the end (ensure pasta doesn’t stick to base) until the pasta is just about cooked.
- Add cream, then simmer for a further 1 to 2 minutes. It will still be quite saucy – this is what you want! Pasta absorbs liquid quickly, so it will still be nice and oozy when you start eating. 6. Serve – Remove from the stove. Give it a good stir then ladle into bowls. Serve with parmesan and parsley.
ENJOY!
