A focused approach to physician-led pain care
Pain5.ca is being developed as a focused physician-led pain-management service in Prince Edward Island.
Our initial service centres on physician-provided acupuncture for patients for whom it is clinically appropriate.
The model combines physician clinical review, careful patient selection and individualized treatment while maintaining an important distinction between uninsured private-pay acupuncture and publicly insured healthcare services.
Part of a growing PEI healthcare-services network
Pain5.ca is powered by PEIDoctor.com and is part of a family of healthcare-navigation and service brands designed around specific patient, visitor, employer and documentation needs.
Why physician-led acupuncture?
Pain can be complex. A physician brings medical training and clinical judgment to the assessment of whether acupuncture is appropriate for an individual patient. Pain5.ca's model keeps that decision where it belongs: between the patient and the treating physician.
