TPC: Toronto Poly Clinic

Multi-disciplinary Pain Management Program

What We Do!

The following is a description of what happens when you are referred to us by your doctor.

Paying attention to what you have to say. You will be seen first by a medical doctor who is board certified in pain practice. The interview consists of going over your complaints, your pain history along with the rest of your medical history, going over the diagnostic tests you have undergone so far, reviewing your diagnosis and the treatments you have had so far. There might be new tests needed and new consultations to be made. The pain practitioner will make sure you are heard well, examined well and that your tests and diagnosis are up to date. Then based on the given information and examination your proper diagnosis is verified and a plan for treatment is arranged.
Medication therapy: Our pain practitioner will review your current medication, and prescribe the appropriate medication for your pain syndrome. This medication will be gradually adjusted to your needs based, on the effects and side effects.

Physical therapy: There are many active and passive modalities presented in our clinic. A doctor of Chiropractics specializing in pain will evaluate your physical condition, the treatments you have had in the past, and provide you with a customized active or passive rehabilitation plan. Among the treatments provided in our rehabilitation department are Low level laser, Pulsed magnetic field therapy, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, heat and cold treatments, and Acupuncture both conventional and laser guided.
Psychological evaluation and therapy, in individual and group settings, are provided by a doctor of psychology to address the psychological aspect of your pain syndrome. Pain can affect your mood, thought, sleep and energy, which can all damage your life significantly. We will deal with all of these problems.
Injection therapy: Nerve block therapy, Ganglion blocks, Trigger Point injections, Botox injections, Epidural steroid injections, ligament strengthening or prolotherapy are among the group of injection treatments we use for pain management. The idea is to reduce and interrupt the constant pain message being sent to the brain. This constant pain message going to the brain through thousands of open gates, which normally would be closed, is the basis of chronic pain. We try to reverse this process of chronic pain by the use of injections.
Coping skills, pain management education and life style adjustments, nutritional consultations and alternative medicine, homeopathy and naturopathy consultations are available for appropriate use.

Comprehensive understanding and sensitivity to the complete picture, instead of one symptom, is what Toronto Polyradiculopathy Clinic specializes in.
