Covid-19: Update
We are currently accepting all consultations for any traumatic and non-traumatic orthopaedic/musculoskeletal pathology and related painful conditions, orthopaedic and chronic pain consultations, sports medicine consultations, as well as physical and occupational therapy.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many orthopaedic and physical therapy services have temporary closed or suspended operations, and all elective surgery has shut down, leaving most patients in the province with orthopaedic injuries with no options for care. ORI is committed to providing the highest and most expedient patient care possible, while maintaining stringent distancing and protective measures for the safety of all patients and providers.
Virtual Assessments
Virtual assessments, or if necessary, for urgent pathology, in-person visits will be performed within 2 – 4 weeks by an orthopaedic surgeon or chronic pain specialist, as appropriate. If your patient needs a more urgent referral, we are committed to doing our best to accommodate urgent requests. When required and as feasible, a virtual care visit with your physician will be accompanied by a consultation with a physiotherapist to assist with therapy instructions.
