We do not endorse any particular medicine or suggest any particular treatment for individuals but we do offer support and guidance towards dealing with the multifaceted nature of pain. A rich life with pain is possible!
Our group, supported by the Chronic Pain Association of Canada, (chronicpaincanada.com) represents a great starting point for anyone on their journey with pain.
CPSGK has hosted a variety of speakers and pain experts such as local experts Dr. Ruth Dubin, Dr. Richard Henry, Dr. Dean Tripp and Dr. Gregory Murphy. We have also brought in experts from across Canada such as Dr. Jackie Gardiner-Nix, innovator and chronic pain mindfulness pioneer of the NeuroNovaCentre and Dr. Andrea Furlan of the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute who both have a series of informative videos on YouTube. Other experts offer advice, new techniques, treatments and approaches to dealing with pain and the many attendant issues. Our presenters have been, pharmacists, tax experts, physiotherapists, chiropractors, meditation instructors, osteopathic manual practitioners as well as representatives from groups such as the Arthritis Society of Canada, the YMCA (which offers a Living with Chronic Pain Course) and the Self-Management Program of Southeastern Ontario of the
