Why CPRI

CPRI’s health care services are provided on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/ Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Image-Guided Procedures

The physicians at CPRI use fluoroscopy and ultrasound technology to guide needles to their targets. Medical literature shows improved accuracy (how close the needle gets to the target structure), outcomes (how well the procedure works), and safety (lower complication rates).

Accredited Procedural Pain Management Facility

Canadian Pain and Regenerative Institute is proud to be accredited by the Non-Hospital Medical and Surgical Facilities Accreditation Program (NHMSFAP) of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (CPSBC).

Highest Level of Training in Pain Medicine

Our co-founders have the highest level of training in Pain Medicine. Starting in 2014, the Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) began the Pain Medicine subspecialty training program and examination to certify subspecialists in Pain Medicine. Our Co-Founders are the first two physicians in Canada to complete RCPSC examinations in both Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Pain Medicine.

Timely Care

Our physicians recognize the effects of untreated chronic pain including disordered sleep, depression, anxiety, impact on personal relationships, work and home function. We believe that timely access to pain medicine treatments can help break this vicious cycle and improve our patients’ function and quality of life.

Empowering our patients and referring doctors

We understand the frustrations our patients experience when given different messages and diagnoses in the health care system. This is not due to a lack of knowledge or any missed conditions, but simply speaks to the nature and complexity of chronic pain conditions. With our experience in treating these, we hope to provide our patients and referring doctors a comprehensive understanding of diagnosis and management options.

Dedication to Teaching

We are engaged in teaching and training the future generation of physicians through medical school, residency, & fellowship training. We are also engaged in teaching other physicians provincially, nationally, and internationally.
