Do you know that meditation can lessen the pain in your body? Dr. Jan talks about how to integrate it into your routine.
Jan Carstoniu MD FRCPC qualified as an anaesthesiologist in 1992 after completing his training in Toronto. Prior to entering medical studies he was a licensed psychologist in the province of Québec. He began his practice in the management of chronic pain in 1993 and by the year 2000, this became his full-time occupation.
Until 2015 he was the medical director of Headache & Pain Management, an OHP facility that offered multidisciplinary treatment including interventional therapies for chronic pain.
