High resolution ultrasound machines
While ultrasound machines are common in pain clinics, we've taken patient care to the next level by investing in advanced, high-resolution ultrasound machines. This allows for:
Improved diagnostic accuracy so we can treat the root cause of pain
Improved accuracy of injections
The utmost safety during treatments
To help you do more with your life, with fewer pain medications
Welcome to White Oak Pain Clinic. We are physicians with a special focus on injections for the treatment of soft-tissue musculoskeletal pain. We have experience treating pain from head to toe and have helped many patients return to work and activities. Discover why our Vancouver-area patients trust us for compassionate care and cutting-edge treatments.
We understand pain
Pain is an invisible illness that can be hard for others to believe. Our doctors have treated thousands of people with acute and chronic pain. We understand the profound impact that pain can have on your life.
If you are suffering from chronic or acute pain that is preventing you from doing your normal activities, injection treatments can significantly reduce your pain, or sometimes cure your pain.
Many of our patients improve even after they have done extensive physiotherapy, IMS, acupuncture, massage therapy, or chiropractic treatments.
We treat pain from the following causes: muscles, myofascial, nerves, ligaments, and tendons. The most common type of injection we perform is trigger point injections, which is fully covered under MSP.
Our pain management
injections
Trigger point injections, nerve blocks, and fascia hydrodissection are covered under MSP. They make up about 90% of our injections. We always try to solve your problem with MSP-covered services first.
Regenerative therapies such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and prolotherapy are not covered under MSP. Your doctor will provide you with a quote of the cost after we assess the complexity of your case.
Whether you’re seeking pain management in Vancouver, Burnaby, and beyond, these services are designed to help you regain comfort and function.
Minimal Steroids
Only 1 in 100 of our treatments include injection of cortisone steroids.
We have a steroid-sparing approach because repeated injections of cortisone steroid can have long-term side effects. Instead, we treat the underlying muscle imbalances that have caused your pain in the first place.
We do this using a combination of trigger point injections and rehabilitation exercises.
