Spine Clinic FAQ

Who should attend this clinic?

People with non-acute, non-spine conditions involving the muscles, bones and joints. This may include people with chronic joint conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, degenerative joint disease, joint instability and people seeking non-surgical treatment options like physical therapy, injections, bracing or orthotics. 

How do I get into the clinic?

A referral is required. Click here to print off a referral form to take to whoever is managing this aspect of your care (i.e, family doctor, physiotherapist, chiropractor…etc) and ask them to refer you to Vivo Cura Health’s “Spine Clinic”.

What can I expect when I come in?

Using the information gathered from your intake form, a doctor and allied health team member (usually an athletic therapist or physiotherapist) will work together to get a clear understanding of the nature of your injury and develop a treatment plan and address anything that they can on the spot. Education will be provided to help you through recovery. The most important key to your recovery is your commitment to following the treatment plan when you leave our clinic.

Will I need to come in again?

It really depends on the nature of your condition but multiple visits are likely. Getting a proper diagnosis of your spine condition may require diagnostic injections or nerve tests, therapeutic injections or treatments and almost always requires physical rehabilitation, all of which we can provide in-house.
