A chronic pain clinic in the community of North York, Toronto.
Assessment by a physician, an individual plan, and a full written report back to the doctor who referred you.
Our Pain Clinic is run by physicians who work as a group rather than in parallel. Cases are discussed between us, approaches are compared, and a patient whose presentation sits closer to one physician’s area of focus can be seen by that physician.
Working as a group also means the clinic holds one standard for how patients are assessed, how a procedure is decided on and documented, and what is written back to the referring physician.
We concentrate on the conditions that most affect our patient population: low back and neck pain, nerve pain including sciatica, myofascial pain, osteoarthritis-related joint pain and chronic headaches.
We approach each of them the same way: work out what is driving it, explain it plainly, treat it according to the evidence, and stay with the patient afterwards.
