NA in Canada

Anyone had any experiences with NA in Canada? Who performs it here and is their medical coverage?

Re: NA in Canada

Unfortunately we are not aware of many MDs offering NA in Canada. You can find contact details of Dr. Binhammer, Toronto, on

http://www.dupuytren-online.info/NA_list_North_America.html

(scroll down to the list of MDs)

Formerly we had also listed in Montreal

Dr. Helena Spacek
Institut de Réadaptation de Montréal
(514) 340 2146 - Poste 3124

She is listed to have been trained in France but it seems that she is either not much interested in NA or it is difficult to get a treatment scheduled. We haven't heard of anybody getting NA ther an took her of the list.

But that's about all we can offer. To much, I am afraid. Should you hear of anybody else please let us know!

I have been to see Dr. BInhammer twice now so you can ask me any questions if you wish. I live in BC and my medical covered the procedure totally. Of course, I was responsible for the travel, but that is a tax write off anyhow at the end of the year.

Re: NA in Canada

Thanks for getting back to me. How was your experience with the procedure? How long did the "cure" last before you had to go back? What sort of post op care did you need? How long was the waiting time from the time you got in touch with the Dr?

I have made e-mail contact with Dr Binhammer but I would like to hear first hand from someone who has had NA from him.
I can be contacted at krueg@canada.com
Thank you
