Announcement

Actum Health is continuing to monitor the Provincial Health Officer’s updates and local Health Authorities’ direction regarding COVID-19. Due to the rapidly changing circumstances related to COVID-19, Actum Health will be conducting all clinical services via telehealth to promote the safety and protection of all clients, our staff and our community. No in-person or in-clinic care will be provided by Actum Health or its staff for the indefinite future. We are committed to continuing to provide assessment and treatment services to our clients during this time; however, will be doing so in a manner that keeps everyone’s health and safety in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is telehealth?

Telehealth is the delivery of healthcare services (assessment and treatment) using technology (such as video conferencing). It allows care to be provided to people living in remote/isolated areas, or when physical contact must be limited (as is the case with the COVID-19 pandemic).

Do regulatory bodies (such as professional Colleges) support telehealth?

Yes, when appropriate and safe for the client. Colleges and professional associations have guidelines and direction for telehealth services to support the efforts of clinicians to provide safe and timely care.

What technology do I need?

An email address and device with a camera (for example a smart phone, laptop, desktop, or tablet).As all Actum Health care is by appointment only, an Actum Health staff member will be available in advance of your assessment/service to answer any questions you have and to walk you through set up for your appointment.

Stay Well & Safe!

The Actum Health team reminds everyone to follow the direction of your local health officials as we all must do our part to get through this pandemic.

Pain Program

Our team of experienced clinicians are passionate about pain, mental health and addiction care. Treatment involves evidence-based and evidence-informing practice through an inter-professional model of care.

Interdisciplinary Comprehensive Pain assessment

Comprehensive pain assessments are undertaken by a team of experienced pain physicians, pharmacists, psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, kinesiologists, and/or psychiatrists. The assessment includes various recommendations for medications, as well as physical, psychological and behavioural interventions.

Interdisciplinary Pain and Management Program ( 4-8 weeks program)

Actum Health’s treatment team includes physiotherapists, occupational therapists, kinesiologists, clinical counsellors, psychologists, pharmacists, and physicians. Pain programming includes individual, joint (multi-discipline), and group-based sessions.

Comprehensive programming is typically 5-hours per day, 5 days per week, although programming can be customized. Group-based activities include a daily warm up, education offered from all disciplines, mindfulness practice, process-based groups, and end of week wrap up. Individualized treatment sessions include supporting exercise and activation goals, reinforcing education on key concepts related to understanding pain, hurt vs harm, perceived threat, understanding the pain-mood dyad, and self-management. Actum Health has expertise in assessment and treatment of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and understands treatment specific to this population (including education on signs and symptoms, graded motor imagery, laterality recognition, and graded exposure/activation). Actum Health programming values client centred care, function-based goals, and return to work (or meaningful activity) as a critical health determinant.

Post discharge follow up:

Actum Health offers sessions/consultations with the team to support ongoing recovery. Such sessions include check-ins around symptom management plans, home exercise programs, and functional and psychological function.
