The assessment and reassessment of your spine or joint pain by Dr. Martin Breton or Dr. Jonathan Cunningham is at no cost to you if you have an Alberta Health Card. Dr. Breton and Dr. Cunningham are medical doctors whose assessments are covered by Alberta Health.
Prolotherapy injections are not covered by Alberta Health Care. Your private insurance may or may not cover prolotherapy injections. The cost of a Prolotherapy session is $265. Sessions are generally 3-4 weeks apart. Treatment of Motor Vehicle Accident injuries can be covered by the auto insurance in the first two years and lawyers (if they are involved) after that. The average number of prolotherapy sessions, required for healing, generally runs from 3 to 9. While we hope that you start seeing benefits from the prolotherapy sessions right away, it can take up to 3 sessions to start seeing the benefits in terms of decreased pain and increased function.
Trigger point injections, which are temporary band-aid solution for the relief of chronic pain and not a long term solution to the problem, can also be done and are covered by Alberta Health.
Dr. Martin Breton is a family doctor whose interests include chronic pain, hypermobility, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia among others.
