La Clinic Du Corps –
The Painless Choice
By Stan Bishop
Initially set up as a family business,
La Clinic Du Corps has been in
existence in Saint Lucia for more
than twenty years. Ten years ago,
however, its status was changed
to that of a limited company.
Specializing in pain management,
La Clinic Du Corps offers patients
the following services: pain relief,
rehabilitation and therapeutic
massages for chronic conditions
(neck, arm, shoulder, upper and
lower back and leg pain, muscle
and sports injuries, arthritis). The
clinic also offers general practice
service and will soon offer
specialty services not currently
available in the Eastern Caribbean.
The aim is to establish Saint Lucia
as a medical hub for patients from
the other OECS territories.
Among the main goals at La Clinic
Du Corps is providing quality care
and connecting patients who need
medical attention not available in
Saint Lucia with overseas medical
facilities, including in Margarita,
Colombia. La Clinic Du Corps
also has alliances with accredited
international clinics which provide
the best care depending on the
nature of the patient’s illness.
Patients benefit from the latest
technologies in medical care
available internationally -- all at
affordable prices.
Another of the clinic’s mandate is
negotiating for specialist doctors
in Saint Lucia, including in cases
where the government might need
specialists in the medical field.
Through its wide international
network of specialists, such
resources can be sourced.
While you are free to call and
make an appointment, La Clinic
Du Corps accepts referrals and
caters to walk-ins.
La Clinic Du Corps is now on the
verge of forging an alliance with
a hospital in Colombia to provide
a medical air charter service for
patients from Saint Lucia to visit
the South American nation for
treatment. In this arrangement,
patients will present their
medical report to La Clinic Du
Corps which will in turn forward
that information to Colombia,
where an initial quotation will be
made based on the information
provided. Such a service is
essential, as patients and their
families know beforehand that
there is a formal structure in
place, including hospital and hotel
arrangements being taken care of.
Currently, La Clinic Du Corps
organizes medical air charter
service every two months.
However, the clinic also arranges
emergency service for those who
need such service promptly.
Aside from its Saint Lucian
patients, La Clinic Du Corps
attracts a large number of
patients from the Caribbean as
well as international tourists who
visit the island. Patients benefit
from various products available at
reasonable prices in the in-house
pharmacy that is an exclusive
distributor for much of these
products. The clinic also features
its much-sought-after product,
Pain Away.
La Clinic Du Corps currently has a
team of four: a pain management
specialist, a generalist, a director,
and a secretary. With one location
in Saint Lucia – on High Street,
Castries – future plans include
expanding to other islands.
HEALTH TIPS
FORGIVING
It really hurts when someone close
betrays you. The pain can be deep
and the wounds long lasting. People
can wound one another many ways.
Spouses can be unfaithful through
affairs, pornographic addictions,
and lying about finances. Words
are spoken that crush one another’s
spirit. These wounds often times turn
into anger, bitterness, resentment
and unforgiveness. They consume
people from the inside like a cancer.
God requires that we forgive one
another. (Mark 11:26). See the video on
