Outpatient service for chronic pain run out of Wellness Centre in rural BC near Alberta border. My focus is helping those with chronic pain have improved quality of life. I work in conjunction with family practice physicians, a Work Rehab Centre, physiotherapist, etc. Accupuncture, massage therapy, chiropractic services, and reflexology are also available within our area. The Pain Management Program is a Nurse driven, client focused program. My expertise is both personal and professional. I would appreciate any help in dealing with vulvodynia as this condition is new to me and the client I am helping is getting really frustrated with the medical model.
