This web site is for people living in the Vancouver Island Health Authority region who are experiencing severe chronic pain that is resistant to treatment, and the people who support them.
The Pain Program focuses on treating patients suffering from non-surgical pain not managed by conventional methods.
Our clinical centres are at the Royal Jubilee Hospital (RJH) in Victoria and at the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital (NRGH). The Comox Valley Nursing Centre also provides chronic pain management support.
We believe pain relief requires individualized treatment of Total Pain: physical pain, psychological pain, social pain, and spiritual pain. To do this, we work with patients and their families to explore options designed to maximize quality of life and overall function.
We also offer an orientation session open to all members of the community. This orientation is a community education service aimed at providing the public with a better understanding of what we do at the pain clinic. They take place every Tuesday from 4 to 5pm at the Victoria Pain Clinic.
