Welcome!

Chronic pain affects 10 – 20 % of Canadians and has profound impact on patients and their family’s lives. Yet it is often unrecognized and undertreated. It is the physician’s duty and privilege to alleviate patients from pain. In our OHP (Out-of-Hospital Premises) we are committed to diagnose and treat chronic pain with high-quality interventional pain management (mostly axial and radicular pain), pharmaco and non pharmacotherapy with efficiency, integrity, and accountability.

Joseph Park, MD, FRCP (C)
