Modify Daily Habits
Strategies to modify daily habits that you might not be aware of that are contributing to the issue.
Treatment Approach
Our treatment approach is manual therapy (“hands-on”) and therapeutic exercise based. Depending on each individual care plan, treatments may also include shockwave therapy, acupuncture, dry needling and therapeutic taping.
Self Care
Part of this “self care” education includes 1–3 key home exercises that will complement the in-clinic treatment and help you achieve your goal.
Shockwave Therapy
A cutting-edge therapeutic modality that uses sound energy to amplify your body’s healing process. This therapy doesn’t include leaving rubber pads or suction cups on the skin, it’s a treatment tool that sounds like a little jack hammer and it is always held by the therapist. The physiotherapist uses this machine to target the stubborn healing tissue to produce “microtrauma”. This microtrauma isn’t enough to worsen your injury, but it is enough to blast away excessive scar tissue and it stimulates a more aggressive healing process in the healthy surrounding tissue. The end result after 4–6 sessions is faster and stronger healing.
This therapy can be applied to many conditions of tendinosis, chronic tendinitis, and chronic muscle strains.
Common conditions treated with shockwave therapy:
- Achilles tendinosis
- Tennis elbow
- Golfer’s elbow
- Rotator cuff partial tears
- Rotator cuff tendinosis
- Groin strains
- Calf strains
- Quadriceps strain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Hamstring strain
