Physiotherapy

Physiotherapists are highly trained and use their in-depth knowledge of the body to provide a thorough assessment, find the root cause of the injury/problem, provide a proper diagnosis and create a unique treatment plan for your particular injury, illness or disability. Your physiotherapist aims to help you restore your strength, function, and general well-being.

Massage Therapy

Treatments help alleviate soft tissue discomfort from everyday stresses, muscle overuse and chronic pain conditions. After a car or motor vehicle accidents? accidents with injuries, massage therapy can reduce painful muscular patterning.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture encourages natural healing, effectively treating swelling and pain. Treatments are safe, effective, and comfortable.  Acupuncture works best in combination with other physiotherapy modalities. Our patients find it effective with chronic pain in their upper and lower back, and fibromyalgia.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave Therapy treats chronic pain. Acoustic waves manage calcific tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and heel spurs by breaking down extra calcium deposits. Shockwave Therapy is non-invasive and safe using short, high-frequency bursts of energy for accelerated tissue repair and mobility restoration.

Cold Laser Therapy

Cold Laser Therapy is a drug-free, all-natural, non-invasive treatment with no side-effects. Laser Therapy effectively accelerates healing, reduces pain, and controls inflammation. Laser treatments release photons into tissues to relieve pain, energize cells, and increase circulation. We use Class three lasers that are safer to use compared to other lasers.

Spinal Decompression (DTS) 

Non-surgical Spinal Decompression is a safe, highly effective treatment for neck and back pain, Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD), slipped discs, sciatica, and nerve impingement. Retraction occurs slowly over four to six weeks, so torn and degenerated disc fibers begin to heal.
