OPC is a specialty clinic focused on evidence-based interventional and regenerative pain medicine. Our mandate is to help patients regain function through targeted procedures, judicious pharmacology, and structured self-management—not by escalating prescriptions. Referring clinicians who value multimodal care and wish to minimize long-term drug dependence will find a collaborative partner here.

Which Patients Benefit Most

Please consider referring when a patient meets all of the following:

1. Persistent, function-limiting pain (≥ 3 months) that remains uncontrolled despite appropriate first-line measures in primary care or physiotherapy.

2. Motivation to participate actively in their own recovery (exercise, lifestyle modification, procedural follow-up).

Typical referral categories include:

• Refractory migraine and occipital neuralgia

• Cervical, thoracic, or lumbar facet-mediated pain

• Complex regional pain syndrome, peripheral neuropathic pain

• Fibromyalgia with significant functional compromise

• Degenerative shoulder, hip, or knee pain not yet surgical—or persisting post-surgery

• Candidates for regenerative injections (Perineural Injection Therapy, prolotherapy) or radio-frequency ablation

Note: While OPC may provide input on medication strategies as part of a broader pain management plan, its primary role is in addressing well-defined pain generators and complex cases that may benefit from procedural intervention.
