Capilano Takes On Your Pain

Pain.  Burning.  Shooting.  Aching.  Throbbing. Stabbing. Nagging. Pain.  November 6 to 12, is National Pain Awareness Week and Physiotherapists are leaders at managing pain in Edmonton, Alberta, and Canada.

Here are some pain and physiotherapy facts, compliments of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association:

• 1 in 5 Canadian adults suffer from chronic pain. Physio can help get you back to the activities that are important to you.
• Up to 78% of ER visits are about pain. Physio can help your acute pain in many instances and can also teach you self-management approaches to reduce pain.
• The estimated cost of chronic pain in Canada is $56-60 billion.  Physio can help reduce these costs.
