Shockwave
Not all injuries are created equal; some respond to traditional treatment, other times they don’t. Sometimes people will feel as though they have tried everything, yet their injury still persists. This is where shockwave therapy comes in. It is a treatment that takes advantage of the body’s natural healing response, causing increased blood flow, re-starting the inflammatory response required to heal an injury as well as other healing factors. This is the reason it is particularly useful with chronic injuries since it is able to trick the body into thinking the injury is fresh, thus causing more aggressive healing.
Transitioning to a healthier life is only a few steps away!
We Offer Even More To Serve You
Prehabilitation
Prescribing exercise and activities to improve your functional abilities before surgery. The goal is to decrease your hospital length of stay, speed up your recovery and return to “normal” activities, and reduce surgical complications.
Post-Surgery Care
Recovering from surgery? Everyone can benefit from physio and a rehab program. Our therapists work collaboratively with your surgeon to decrease your pain, improve your mobility, restore your function and quality of life.
Virtual Care
Can’t make it into the clinic? We understand that some of you may have a busy schedule or would prefer to do your treatments from the comfort of your own home. Our practitioners can offer their services virtually. We will send you a link for your scheduled appointment.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an evidence based therapeutic treatment that uses sterile, thin needles to attract blood flow to an injury site. Acupuncture decreases pain and inflammation, promotes healing, and improves nerve health. Performed correctly, it is a safe and effective treatment.
Orthotics
Customized medical devices that are designed to align your foot and ankle in the optimal position. Orthotics work much like glasses do on your eyes – they reduce stress and strain on your body, decrease pain and improve tolerance to activities.
Custom Bracing
A brace specifically designed to suit your unique needs – a better fit, more comfort. Adding external support to your injury can decrease your pain during daily tasks and recreational activities. With a good assessment a brace can be highly effective.
Compression Socks
Medical grade compression stockings/ socks promote better venous flow to help control swelling, varicosities, leg fatigue and other leg conditions. Compression stockings are available in a wide variety of grades and styles to suit you.
Dizziness (Vertigo)
Our therapists have completed extra training and understand dizziness. Treatment depends on your assessment findings, but often involves hands-on techniques, head manoeuvres, an exercise program, or a combo of those strategies.
Jaw Pain
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) is commonly known as jaw pain. Trained therapists can help your pain and clicking by teaching you relaxation, stretching and strengthening exercises for the face, head, neck and postural muscles.
