At the chronic pain management clinic, a team of healthcare professionals works together to support you. Each team member has a different role, but they all share the same goal: helping you better understand your pain and find ways to manage it more effectively.
Anesthesiologists
The anesthesiologists are doctors who specialize in pain management, among other things. They assess your pain, adjust medications as needed, and recommend treatments or procedures to better control your pain.
Nurses
The nurses meet with you to assess your pain, answer your questions, and give you clear information. They support you during your treatments and coordinate services with the other team members.
Physiotherapists
The physiotherapists show you how to move safely, even if you are in pain. They recommend exercises tailored to your needs to improve mobility, reduce stiffness, and make everyday activities easier.
Psychologists
The psychologists help you understand the connection between pain, emotions, and stress. They teach practical strategies to help you cope with pain and make it less disruptive to your daily life.
Kinesiologists
The kinesiologists help you return to or maintain physical activity. They help you gradually increase your level of physical activity based on your abilities, so you can build strength, endurance, and confidence.
Administrative assistant
The administrative assistant is responsible for scheduling appointments, handling phone calls, and ensuring that information is shared with users and members of the care team.
