Services
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy at Family Physio addresses musculoskeletal conditions through evidence-based treatments that reduce pain and restore function. Our certified therapists employ manual techniques, therapeutic exercises, and specialized equipment to treat sports injuries, post-surgical conditions, and chronic pain. Each program is tailored to individual needs, incorporating patient education and home exercise plans to ensure long-term recovery and improved mobility outcomes.
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic services focus on diagnosing and treating neuromusculoskeletal conditions through spinal adjustments and manual therapies. This holistic approach addresses back pain, neck pain, headaches, and posture-related issues by restoring proper nerve flow and joint function. Treatment plans integrate lifestyle recommendations and ergonomic advice to support long-term spinal health and overall wellness.
Disc Decompression
Non-surgical disc decompression therapy alleviates back pain caused by bulging or herniated discs. Using specialized traction tables, our physiotherapists create negative pressure within spinal discs to promote healing and reduce nerve compression. This treatment effectively addresses sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and chronic back pain while minimizing the need for invasive procedures.
Intramuscular Stimulation
IMS treatment targets chronic muscle pain through precise needle insertion into affected muscle tissue. This evidence-based technique releases muscle tension, stimulates healing, and addresses neuropathic pain conditions. Administered by certified practitioners, it effectively treats persistent back pain, muscle spasms, and myofascial pain syndromes that haven't responded to conventional therapies.
Massage Therapy
Medical massage therapy at Family Physio combines relaxation techniques with targeted treatment for musculoskeletal conditions. Our registered therapists address stress-related tension, sports injuries, and chronic pain through customized sessions that improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. Treatment plans often integrate with other rehabilitation programs for comprehensive patient care.
