Pain physicians use a wide range of approaches to treat pain, including medications, physical therapy, psychological therapies, and interventional techniques such as nerve blocks or injections. In Canada, becoming a pain physician typically involves completing medical school, followed by residency training in a primary specialty, and then further subspecialization in pain medicine through fellowship programs and certifications.
