Our Mission
We understand that chronic pain can get in the way of your life, everything from your relationships, your work, and your day-to- day activities. And chronic pain does not affect each person the same way. This is why we develop personalized care plans for every patient. Because at Mississauga Chronic Pain Centre, we treat the person, not the disease. We want to give you the help you need to enjoy life to the fullest. We want to help you get relief and start living again!
