However, all the above measures are expected to only reduce but do not eliminate the risk of contacting or spreading the COVID-19.
The clinic has implemented Virtual Care screening for non-urgent referrals to our EMG lab in adherence with the CPSA statement on March 21, 2020 to utilize virtual care and to limit physical examination to the most necessary cases.
Your procedure appointment was scheduled after consideration of its necessity as it is expected to provide you with therapeutic pain relief, improved quality of life, reduction of pain medication use and reduce any unnecessary visits to walk in clinic, family clinics or ER that might impose higher risk of COVID-19 spread. This is in adherence with the CPSA statement on March 21, 2020 to utilize virtual care and to limit physical examination to the most necessary cases.
