Services designed to help you move better, recover faster, and stay active  

For new or worsening pain, injury, or musculoskeletal concerns, sports medicine can help. Medcan’s sports medicine physicians focus on diagnosing muscle and joint injuries and identifying the source of pain. They develop and manage treatment plans based on your symptoms and goals, coordinating care across our integrated team and providing pain management support – including medication and injections – when appropriate. 

For pain or injury that is ongoing, complex, or slow to improve, or if recovery has plateaued despite treatment, physiatry can help. Physiatrists aim to understand your physical limitations, maximize your abilities, and work to limit mobility issues and pain. Like a sports medicine physician, they will develop an integrated care plan leveraging a multi-disciplinary team for specialized support based on your symptoms and goals. They may support pain management through medication or targeted injections, when appropriate, to improve function, movement, and support long‑term recovery. 

Injections may be a component of your pain management plan and are administered by a sports medicine physician or orthopaedic specialist. They are designed to reduce pain and inflammation, improve joint function, and potentially delay or avoid more invasive treatments.

For ongoing or recurrent headaches, Medcan’s Headache Clinic provides physician‑led, evidence‑based care focused on accurate diagnosis and long‑term management. Care is led by Dr. Eric Cohen, a board‑certified neurologist with advanced expertise in headache medicine. 

The clinic treats chronic headache conditions such as migraine, tension‑type, cluster, and cervicogenic headaches. Treatment may include evidence‑based options such as Botox for chronic migraine, along with coordinated care through our providers to address contributing factors like neck pain, stress, and movement – supporting sustained symptom control and quality of life. 

If chronic or acute musculoskeletal issues are affecting your everyday life, an orthopaedic specialist can support you. Our experienced orthopaedic team will help to assess your physical condition and determine the source of your pain – whether it is related to your bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles or nerves. They will then create a customized, multi-disciplinary care plan outlining the necessary treatments and leveraging your personal health goals as guiding priorities.
