Chronic Pain Assessments in Bradford West Gwillimbury
Who Is It For?
This assessment is ideal if you’ve had pain for 3+ months (neck, back, shoulder, hip, knee, headache), repeated flare-ups after injury, or lingering symptoms following motor vehicle accidents or workplace injuries (WSIB). It also supports individuals limited by desk work, repetitive tasks, or stress-related tension. If mood, sleep, or focus are affected, we may also include Psychological Assessments or a Social Work Assessment.What’s Included?
Your clinician completes a detailed history, pain mapping, posture and movement screens, joint mobility testing, strength and endurance profiling, and functional task analysis (e.g., lifting, desk setup, gait). We may add neurological screens, sleep and stress questionnaires, and outcome measures to track progress. Findings are integrated into a staged plan, often with targeted physio, chiropractic adjustments, deep tissue massage, and myofascial acupuncture.Why Choose WellCare?
We connect assessment to action—clear goals, practical home strategies, and measurable milestones. Our interdisciplinary team collaborates under one roof to reduce appointments and speed results. If return-to-work clarity is needed, we can add a formal Functional Abilities Evaluation (FAE) and liaise with insurers through our direct billing process.Chronic Pain Assessment — At a Glance
