NeuPath Health to Host 2026 Physician Forum Focused on Advances in Chronic and Musculoskeletal Pain Care
NeuPath Health Inc. (TSXV: NPTH), a Canadian healthcare company operating one of the country’s largest networks of community-based, multidisciplinary medical facilities, will host its annual Physician Forum from September 25 to 27, 2026, at Fairmont Le Château Montebello in Montebello, Québec.
The three-day event brings together physicians and clinicians from across NeuPath’s growing network, as well as prospective physician partners and members of the broader healthcare community. Now in its third year, the Physician Forum has continued to expand in participation and has reached capacity for the 2026 event.
The forum is designed to provide a setting for physicians to exchange clinical knowledge, discuss developments in pain medicine and explore practical approaches to the assessment and treatment of patients with chronic pain and musculoskeletal conditions.
NeuPath operates community-based multidisciplinary facilities focused on chronic pain, musculoskeletal and back pain, sports medicine and other pain-related medical services. Through its clinical network, the company seeks to provide patients with access to coordinated medical care and specialized services outside traditional hospital settings.
The annual Physician Forum forms part of NeuPath’s broader effort to strengthen professional relationships within its clinical network while creating opportunities for physicians to share experiences and learn about emerging approaches to patient care.
Physician Forum Reaches Capacity in Its Third Year
NeuPath’s 2026 Physician Forum represents the third annual edition of the company’s physician-focused event. Participation has increased each year since the forum was launched, reflecting growing engagement among clinicians within the company’s network and interest from prospective physician partners.
The 2026 meeting has sold out, with clinicians from NeuPath’s existing network joining prospective physicians and other healthcare professionals for presentations, educational sessions and professional discussions.
Industry sponsors are also supporting this year’s event. Their involvement provides additional resources for the program while creating opportunities for engagement across the broader healthcare community.
Stephen Lemieux, Chief Executive Officer of NeuPath Health, said the Physician Forum is intended to bring the company’s clinical community together to exchange experiences and examine developments in chronic and musculoskeletal pain management.
“The Physician Forum brings our clinical community together to share experiences and explore advances in chronic and musculoskeletal pain management,” Lemieux said.
He added that the event provides an opportunity to strengthen relationships across NeuPath’s network, establish connections with new physician colleagues and share practical knowledge that can support patient care.
NeuPath also expressed appreciation to the speakers and sponsors participating in the 2026 program.
Program Covers Complex and Emerging Pain Management Topics
The 2026 Physician Forum will feature expert-led presentations and practical sessions addressing a range of issues relevant to chronic pain and musculoskeletal medicine.
Topics on the agenda include complex regional pain syndrome, myoActivation, cervicogenic and migraine headaches, artificial intelligence and psychotherapeutic approaches to chronic pain.
The selection of topics reflects the range of approaches currently being explored in pain management, from interventional medicine and physical assessment to behavioral and psychotherapeutic techniques and the potential application of emerging technologies.
Complex regional pain syndrome, or CRPS, is one of the challenging conditions that clinicians may encounter in chronic pain practice. It can involve persistent pain and other symptoms affecting a limb following an injury or medical procedure. Its complex presentation can require multidisciplinary assessment and individualized treatment strategies.
Headache-related conditions will also be addressed at the meeting, including cervicogenic headaches and migraine. These conditions can involve overlapping symptoms and may require careful evaluation to determine appropriate management approaches.
Artificial intelligence will form another component of the program. AI technologies are increasingly being explored across healthcare for applications ranging from clinical decision support and data analysis to administrative workflows. At the Physician Forum, the topic will be considered in the context of pain medicine and responsible integration into clinical practice.
Focus on MyoActivation and Non-Pharmaceutical Approaches
The forum will also feature myoActivation, a non-pharmaceutical approach to assessing and treating pain.
The session will be led by Dr. Greg Siren, a family physician focused on chronic pain and mobility impairment and the developer of the myoActivation approach.
Siren has led more than 50 myoActivation workshops and serves as Director of the Anatomic Medicine Foundation. His participation will provide an opportunity for clinicians to learn more about the approach and its application in pain assessment and management.
The inclusion of myoActivation reflects the broader range of clinical approaches covered by the Physician Forum. Chronic pain management can involve multiple therapeutic strategies, and clinicians may need to consider physical, neurological, psychological and functional factors when developing treatment plans.
The program will also explore psychotherapeutic approaches to chronic pain. Dr. Ed Weiss, a Kingston-based family physician with training in psychotherapeutic approaches to neuroplastic pain treatment, will contribute to this area of the program.
Expert Speakers Bring Diverse Clinical Experience
The 2026 Physician Forum will feature speakers with backgrounds spanning interventional pain medicine, family medicine, complex chronic pain, headache care, anatomic medicine and psychotherapeutic approaches.
Dr. Ryan Budwany, a triple board-certified interventional spine and pain physician, will participate in the program. His clinical work focuses on minimally invasive interventions and emerging technologies, including the responsible integration of artificial intelligence into medical practice. Budwany serves as Chief Medical Officer of PainHealth.
His experience provides a perspective on the intersection of interventional pain care and technology, particularly as healthcare providers evaluate how emerging tools can be incorporated into clinical environments.
Dr. Pradeep Chopra will also be featured. Chopra is Director of the Center for Complex Conditions and an Assistant Professor at Brown Medical School. His clinical and academic work focuses on complex chronic pain and associated conditions. He completed training in anesthesia, critical care and pain medicine at Harvard.
His participation will address the challenges involved in evaluating and treating patients whose chronic pain may involve multiple or complex contributing factors.
Dr. Gary Shapero, a family physician and board-certified pain practitioner, will bring expertise in headache, neck and facial pain. He is also a Lecturer in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto.
His work includes the assessment and treatment of headache-related conditions, making his contribution particularly relevant to the forum’s sessions on cervicogenic and migraine headaches.
Dr. Greg Siren will present on myoActivation and its application in chronic pain and mobility impairment. His experience includes conducting more than 50 workshops focused on the approach.
Dr. Ed Weiss will contribute expertise in psychotherapeutic approaches to neuroplastic pain treatment. Based in Kingston, Ontario, Weiss is a family physician whose work includes approaches that consider the relationship between pain processing, psychological factors and patient experience.
Together, the speakers represent a range of disciplines that contribute to modern multidisciplinary pain care.
Strengthening NeuPath’s Clinical Network
Beyond the educational sessions, NeuPath’s Physician Forum serves as a networking opportunity for physicians and healthcare professionals connected with the company.
Community-based multidisciplinary care relies on collaboration among clinicians with different areas of expertise. Events such as the Physician Forum can provide opportunities for professionals to discuss clinical experiences, establish relationships and share approaches to challenging cases and patient populations.
For NeuPath, the event also provides an opportunity to connect with prospective physician partners as the company continues to develop its clinical network.
The participation of industry sponsors adds another dimension to the meeting, allowing members of the healthcare community to engage with organizations involved in products, technologies and services relevant to medical practice.
Addressing the Complexity of Chronic Pain
Chronic pain represents a broad category of conditions that can affect physical function, mobility and quality of life. Patients may experience pain involving the spine, musculoskeletal system, nervous system or other areas, and treatment can require more than one clinical discipline.
NeuPath’s focus on multidisciplinary community-based care reflects this complexity. Its facilities provide services addressing chronic pain, musculoskeletal and back pain, sports medicine and other pain-related medical needs.
The topics selected for the 2026 Physician Forum similarly emphasize different aspects of pain management. Sessions covering interventional medicine, headache disorders, physical approaches, artificial intelligence and psychotherapeutic strategies provide clinicians with opportunities to consider multiple dimensions of patient care.
Three-Day Event in Québec
The 2026 Physician Forum will take place from September 25 through September 27 at Fairmont Le Château Montebello in Montebello, Québec.
The event’s location provides a setting for both formal educational programming and professional networking. With the meeting sold out, NeuPath expects participation from clinicians throughout its network alongside prospective physician partners.
The company has positioned the forum as an annual opportunity for its clinical community to meet, exchange ideas and discuss developments relevant to chronic and musculoskeletal pain care.
As NeuPath continues to expand its network of community-based multidisciplinary medical facilities, maintaining connections among physicians and sharing clinical knowledge will remain an important component of its broader healthcare activities.
The 2026 Physician Forum will bring together experts and clinicians to discuss complex pain conditions, emerging technologies and a variety of therapeutic and assessment approaches. Through presentations and practical sessions, the event will provide a platform for physicians to explore developments in pain medicine while strengthening relationships across NeuPath’s growing healthcare community.
