What other services do you provide?

We also provide limited nutritional, lifestyle and health counselling where needed.

What clothes are required?

We provide clinical gowns and shorts for your examination, or you can wear your own loose fitting clothing. 

What if I don't feel comfortable with the treatment?

You will always have the choice to accept or decline any examination or treatment procedure. We can only recommend what we think will work based on the exam finding. It is up to you, the patient, to choose the path right for you.

Patient comfort is a high priority. Treatment pain or discomfort is seldom necessary. We ask you to keep us informed of your response to treatment so we can make changes as needed to improve your comfort.

Do I have to keep going forever?

The simple answer is NO. You are free to choose your own care. We do not sell pre-paid treatment plans or require you to commit to prolonged care. Our goal is to resolve the pain and help you learn how to keep it away.

Treatment is usually broken into a few different stages.
  • Acute care – more frequent initial treatments and exercises designed to get you out of pain – may last a few weeks.
  • Rehabilitative care – a reduced treatment frequency as the problem is healing and exercises are starting to help stabilize the area.
  • Supportive or Maintenance care – infrequent care to help keep the problems from returning.

Ideally we can find the right combination of exercises and strategies to help you avoid re-aggravating the problem, minimizing the need for ongoing treatments; but not everyone is able to do all their exercises or avoid all aggravating factors. For some patients infrequent treatments are an effective way to keep recurrent or chronic problems at bay.

You are free to choose you own care. Regular treatments, supportive care for a recurrent complaint or acute care for an injury. We can suggest options based on our clinical experience, but it is up to you as the patient to decide how to manage your own health.
