The mission of the Electrical Injury Network of Canada; Réseau canadien des blessures causées par l'électricité (einCanada) is to ensure that no survivor of electrical injury, or their family, has to navigate their journey alone.
We are an aspiring national, non-profit organization dedicated to: Connecting a resilient community of survivors and families to provide peer support and share experiences
Educating the public, industry stakeholders, and medical professionals on the prevention of electrical injuries and their complex, often-invisible long-term consequences.
Advocating for the timely diagnosis, specialized care, and recognition that every survivor deserves.
Is your insurance claim stuck at "0% Impairment" because your burns have healed, but your pain hasn't? The medical guidelines used by insurers are finally catching up to the science of electrical injury. Our latest article unpacks the critical 2023 updates to the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (6th Edition). We break down exactly how new criteria for Neuropathic Pain (Chapter 13) and Mental Health (Chapter 14) validate "invisible" injuries, and we list the specific diagnostic tests you need to move your claim from "subjective complaints" to "objective medical evidence." Don't let a normal MRI determine your future.
Today signifies a significant step forward in raising awareness about electrical injuries with the launch of our EINCanada Website, along with our inaugural official Blog Post!
The Electrical Injury Network of Canada; Réseau canadien des blessures causées par l'électricité (EINC) is officially off to a great start and we can't wait to update the News Section with more exciting updates!
An electrical injury is more than just a visible burn. The current can travel through the body, affecting the nervous system in complex ways. The long-term consequences are often invisible but can be devastating, including chronic neuropathic pain, debilitating fatigue, and cognitive impairments such as memory loss and difficulty with concentration. These "invisible wounds" can also lead to significant psychological issues like anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. einCanada provides a vital network of support, connecting survivors and families so that no one has to navigate this complex journey alone.
