A note for our American (& other) friends:
The Calgary Neuropathy Association is here to help anyone and everyone with neuropathy. While some of the information and events provided here are Calgary or Canadian based, most of the information we provide is intended for everyone. And lets face it, most of the research and other credible resources we reference are out of the U.S. or other countries. We hope you stick around, find something helpful, and decide to join us for an on-line event or CNA Connections support meeting.

Research Participants From Calgary, AB are needed
If you are local to Calgary AB and area, and you have lumbar spinal stenosis or diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Mount Royal U is looking for you.
They are working, together with the U of C, on a study for an accelerator sensor to differentially diagnose these two conditions. If this sensor is successful (and the data it looks promising), it will help physicians diagnose these neuropathies faster and with more accuracy.

Northmount Baptist Church, at 451 Northmount Drive NW, has been a supporter of the CNA for close to a decade. The Church offers us their rental space at a rate we cannot dream to find anywhere else in the city. We love the stained glass windows which make a beautiful backdrop to the room. Pastor Greg Butt, Mabel and other staff are always kind and helpful.
