We are excited to introduce a new GMV called, “Themes in Living as a Highly Sensitive Person” led by Dr.…
No person’s health is reduced to one body part, code, or fee item. We believe in whole-person care from prevention to early recovery to build strength for life. One thing leads to another.Â
Daily, we cultivate the culture of interconnectivity. We’re obsessed with overcoming barriers within the healthcare system. We harness cutting edge science and technology for holistic pain care breakthroughs.
After 10 years of catalyzing healthcare change, we are redefining the care experience. Defying all odds, we built a healing home inspired by nature’s power to heal inside and out so we can transform health together.
We’re recognized by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC for our top–tier safety and practice standards in providing Procedural Pain Management (PPM), Pain Management Infusion (PMI) therapy, IV Ketamine for the treatment of mood disorders (KET).
By interconnecting driven medical and allied health change makers in a unified setting, we awaken conscious healthcare.
We keep on going.

"The physicians, care providers, and staff at Change Pain provided me with indispensable evidence-based medical interventions to reduce physical pain after two total knee replacement surgeries. I simply would not have been able to function without their medical support. In addition to cutting edge pain management interventions, they provided expert patient education by specialist physicians to optimize physical movement, nutrition, sleep and mindfulness. I am profoundly grateful to have benefitted from their holistic, interdisciplinary, and compassionate delivery of pain medicine."
"I can confidently say that the ChangePain Clinic is excellent at treating long-term pain.
Each specialist work as a team for my shoulder treatment, and my left shoulder, which I couldn't use properly due to a motor vehicle accident, is getting better than ever. In this respect, where specialists share opinions and seek treatment methods together, I think ChangePain Clinic can be said to be the best pain clinic in Vancouver.
Since I met Dr. Lau (Pain treatment & Online group session), Dr. Lindsay (Chiropractic), Ms. Low (Physiotherapy), and Mr. Corner (Kinesiology) here and experience their systematic treatment methods, my life has been gradually returning to how it was before the accident.
Thank you very much."
