ChangePain Featured in the Vancouver Sun: Whole-Person Healing in Action

We’re excited to share that ChangePain Clinic was recently featured in the Vancouver Sun in an article highlighting our innovative approach to pain management.

The story, titled “Whole-person healing: Inside ChangePain’s multidisciplinary model”, explores how our team of doctors, chiropractors, physiotherapists, kinesiologists, and allied health professionals work together to deliver patient-centred, evidence-informed care.

The article shines a light on our clinic’s philosophy:

  • Pain is not just a symptom, but part of a person’s whole life story.
  • Healing requires looking at the root causes, not just treating pain in isolation.
  • A multidisciplinary team creates more effective, comprehensive care plans.

As Dr. Brenda Lau, co-founder and pain specialist, explains:

“See ChangePain as whole-person care where, if you’re willing to do the work, we will never give up on you and we will always stand by your side.”

We are proud to see our 12+ years of care, over 70,000 patients helped, and recognition as a Chronic Pain Centre of Excellence highlighted in the media.
