– Chronic Pain Affecting Mental Health in Calgary SW

Chronic pain and mental health are deeply interconnected – persistent pain drives anxiety, depression, and emotional exhaustion, which in turn lowers pain tolerance and makes recovery harder. At Westside Dental, Dr. Sabah, our on-site family physician, sees the full picture – and our Pain Relief program and EXOMIND mental wellness treatment can address both dimensions as part of one coordinated care plan.

How we treat it: EMVITAL laser therapy addresses the physical pain – delivering drug-free, non-invasive relief for musculoskeletal pain including jaw pain, neck tension, and back pain. For patients whose persistent pain has affected their mood, confidence, or mental wellbeing, EXOMIND brain stimulation – Health Canada-approved for depression and anxiety – may be recommended alongside the pain relief program. Dr. Sabah oversees both assessments.
