Common conditions we treat

  • Arthritis

    Arthritis is the classifcation of approximately 200 rheumatic diseases and conditions that affect joints, the tissues that surround the joint, and other connective tissue, causing pain, stiffness and mobility challenges. Assessment and treatment from a physiotherapist and chiropractor may help relieve the pain and stiffness.

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome

    Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve in the wrist and can result in numbness, tingling and pain in the affected hand and arm. It is often the result of repetitive use and strain. Physiotherapy can help alleviate some of the symptoms associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.

  • Concussion

    A concussion is a brain injury that has physical symptoms such as headache, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and cognitive and emotional affects, including brain fog, lack of mental focus and fatigue. Concussion care services can help both speed recovery and prevent future injury.

  • Dizziness and balance

    Dizziness and balance issues can include vertigo, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), nausea, light-headedness, vision issues, motion sensitivity and sensitivity to crowds. They can severely impact quality of life if left untreated. Vestibular rehabilitation can help improve symptoms.

  • Frozen shoulder

    Frozen shoulder is a progressive condition that often starts with pain in the shoulder joint during basic movement. If the condition is left untreated, pain increases and mobility decreases. Physiotherapists can assess and develop a treatment plan.

  • Hand and wrist pain

    Hand, fingers and wrist pain can include symptoms such as tingling, numbness and weakness. The most frequent causes are carpal tunnel syndrome, injury or overuse. An assessment and treatment protocol by a physiotherapist can help.

  • Headaches

    Headaches can be caused by a variety of conditions and once assessed by a healthcare professional can be helped with physiotherapy treatment.

  • Herniated disc

    A herniated disc refers to a problem with one of the rubbery cushions (disks) between the individual bones (vertebrae) that stack up to make your spine. Chiropractic services can help with the associated pain and discomfort.

  • Knee pain

    Knee pain can be caused by bursitis, a torn tendon, ACL tear or injury and overuse. It is most frequently the result of osteoarthritis. Physiotherapy can help speed recovery.

  • Low back pain

    Low back pain is one of the most common patient complaints. It can result from arthritis, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, sciatica, injury or overuse. An assessment from a physiotherapist or chiropractor can help provide a diagnosis and treatment plan.

  • Lymphedema

    Lymphedema is swelling that can occur in one (or occasionally both) of either the arm or leg. It most commonly results from the removal or damage to lymph nodes following cancer treatment, surgery or injury. Massage therapists trained in lymphedema and compression therapy can help with the swelling and discomfort.

  • Muscle sprains and strain

    Muscles sprains and strains can result from sport or motor vehicle injuries, overuse or common activity. They can range to mild, moderate to severe requiring more intensive intervention. Physiotherapy and massage therapy can help speed recovery.

  • Neck pain

    Neck pain can result from poor posture, injury like whiplash, infection in the lymph nodes or throat, or a herniated disc. Physiotherapy, massage therapy or chiropractic treatment can help improve mobility and pain.

  • Plantar fasciitis

    Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Plantar fasciitis commonly causes stabbing pain, usually occurring with the first steps in the morning. With activity, pain typically subsides, but can return after running or standing up after sitting for a length of time. It most commonly affects people who stand for long periods on hard surfaces, runners, and other high-impact athletes. Treatment from one of our foot care specialists may help to reduce the symptoms and pain.

  • Chronic pain

  • Flat feet and low arches

    These conditions may predispose your feet to over-pronation, which has been associated with numerous injuries and conditions, including bunions, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, and hip, knee and low back pain. A thorough biomechanical and gait evaluation of your lower extremities may help to recognize over-pronation, which can be treated with proper footwear and custom-made plaster casted orthotics. Flat feet and low arches can be evaluated in children as well.
