It’s late at night.
Your back hurts.
And what you really want to know before booking with a prospective healthcare professional is if they have a favourite comic strip?

Do you have back pain, but are thinking that maybe you’d like to catch the flu or COVID on top of that?
If so, do not look for further information on my back pain clinic which offers virtual and telephone consultations.
Well played, Tom.
Well played indeed.

Even if it’s covered by your extended health plan.
The drive is long.
The weather is bad.
You want to stay home.

Here’s the thing…
Even if COVID/infection control isn’t a worry for you, it is for others.
The simple (and it is simple) act of donning a mask at a patient’s request shows care and compassion.
Patients are already worried about their health. Why not ease this burden for them when they ask?
Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?

That is plain old bad healthcare provider-ing.
For a number of reasons.

Improve back pain, decrease risk of catching something else.
Virtual care can help.
You wouldn’t think that your patients feeling heard, and having enough time to ask their questions and understand the answers would be selling points.

A image of six silhouetted people sitting in close proximity in a waiting room. One person is wearing a mask. The other five people are maskless, and one of them is sneezing into their elbow with spray from the sneeze not being entirely contained, representing the challenges that people with health and autoimmune issues have in trying to access in-person care for their back pain.
Why offer virtual care for back pain?
Because sitting in a busy waiting room can be much riskier for people with health and autoimmune conditions.

A simplified road winding back and forth down the page. A small truck at the top. Barriers along the way include rain, a fallen tree, and a moose. All together it represents the challenges in accessing in-person healthcare for back pain for those living in northern and rural Ontario.
Why offer virtual care for back pain?
Because not everyone has close or convenient access to a clinic.

“If there’s anything I say that you don’t agree with, or something you think I have wrong, please let me know. You won’t offend me, you won’t hurt my feelings. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions.”
Happy New Year.
Coming up with a post that ties in the new year and back pain is challenging - informative/inspiring/funny/sensitive…?
I’ll let you know if I come up with something good.
Suggestions welcome.
2026 will be the year of chocolate microscopes! Hopefully.
