Frequently asked questions about our Multi-Disciplinary Assessments

A multi-disciplinary assessment is where you are seen by a number of health care providers at the Welcome Back Centre. Our assessment team consists of a sports medicine physician, a neurosurgeon, a physiotherapist, a chiropractor, a kinesiologist, and a psychologist. Patients will be assessed by each of these professionals who will then meet together to discuss your individual problem, determine a diagnosis, and recommend a treatment plan. This process requires an entire day at the Welcome Back Centre.

The goal is to reach an expedited and comprehensive determination of the cause of your disability. A team approach consisting of a variety of medical specialists improves diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning which ultimately improves patient outcomes.
