Customized and Timely Access to Expert Musculoskeletal Care

TIMELY SOLUTIONS

Patients often face extensive wait times for orthopaedic care in the public healthcare system. We provide patients with timely, coordinated access to quality comprehensive care with minimal wait times for initial assessment.​

At Access Orthopaedics we provide patients with a full circle of care and convenient access to a wide range of treatment options. In our central location we have diagnostic imaging, an interventional suite for pain management injections, and a physiotherapy clinic. ​

TEAM-BASED ADVANTAGE

Access Orthopaedics believes in a team-based approach to musculoskeletal health. Our design allows us to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment options at an expedited pace. 

Thanks to our multidisciplinary advantage, patients receive a unique level of care involving Orthopaedic Surgeons, Neurosurgeons, Physiatrists, Sport Medicine Physicians, Primary Care Physicians with musculoskeletal training, and experienced Physiotherapists.  

We also collaborate closely with the health care and surgical community focused on shoulder, elbow, and spine treatment in Alberta.

PATIENT-CENTERED APPROACH

We consider many treatment options for patients, including diagnostic imaging, physiotherapy, injections and surgical and other specialist referrals. 

With Access Orthopaedics, patients feel empowered through their rehabilitation. We encourage patients to be active participants in their recovery by providing the knowledge they need to make informed decisions regarding their care. 

Our goal is to improve a patient’s pain and function, allowing them to return to their work, recreational activities, and daily routine sooner.

Providing Patients with a Full Circle of Care

Our circle of care represents our commitment to providing patients with comprehensive care by an expert team. Patients can access our services and circle of care with a referral from a health care provider (physician, physiotherapist, chiropractor).

MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM
PHYSIOTHERAPY
DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING
ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY
PHYSIATRY/PAIN MANAGEMENT

Patients will be assessed by our multidisciplinary team and provided with a comprehensive treatment plan, which could include diagnostic imaging, pain management, injections, physiotherapy, specialist referral (i.e. physiatry) or surgical referral. Assessments are accessible with a referral from a health care provider with a valid practitioner ID (physician, physiotherapist and chiropractor) and are covered with a valid Alberta Health Care Card.

Access Orthopaedics is able to provide consultations for any acute, non-surgical fracture or soft-tissue sport injury on an urgent basis at our central Calgary location. Our acute injury clinic team includes physicians, physiotherapists and orthopaedic technicians as well as a full on site multidisciplinary team of orthopaedic surgeons, a neurosurgeon and physiatrist to provide patients with a full circle of care. We have a cast saw and casting supplies to allow for removal and application of fiberglass casts.

Physiatrists are specialists in physical medicine and rehabilitation, or in other words, experts in the assessment and management of conditions relating to joints, muscles or nerves. They perform a detailed assessment to identify the nature of patients issues and develop a comprehensive treatment plan. At Access Orthopaedics, we have a team of Physiatrists who perform consultations and a comprehensive range of pain management options in our interventional suite.

We are committed to providing patients with evidence-based treatment focusing on an active exercise program. Our in-house physiotherapists have in depth knowledge of a wide range of conditions and focus on detailed assessment and individualized treatment plans. We have also collaborated with a number of providers across Alberta with a similar mindset to ensure patients receive quality and effective care.

Our experts can help determine what treatment options are best for patients and when further investigations are needed to guide this. We have diagnostic imaging services available on site for convenient and timely access.

Our team is committed to helping alleviate patient’s pain so that they can focus on their active rehabilitation program, get better sleep and get back to their activities. We have physiatrists on staff who can assist with pain management as well as offering a comprehensive range of pain management options, including injections and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) in our on site interventional suite.​

For patients who could benefit from surgical intervention, we can ensure they are directed to the best suited provider for their condition in a timely fashion. Our team arranges for any necessary imaging in advance of the surgical consultation to reduce treatment delays.

Dr. Ian Lo runs his practice at Access Orthopaedics and we collaborate with our affiliated surgeons to provide coordinated care for patients requiring surgical care.​
