Back Neck Pain

• Postural Back/Neck Pain: Discomfort, aching, stiffness, or muscle fatigue in the back or neck arising from sustained or awkward postures during daily activities, prolonged work (e.g., desk work, computer use), or sleep.
• Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD): Neck, shoulder, and upper back discomfort, often accompanied by headaches or 'brain fog', after a sudden jerking motion of the head, such as in a rear-end collision.
• Spinal Stenosis Symptoms: Often age-related changes leading to pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots, causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs with walking (neurogenic claudication in lumbar stenosis) or in the arms/hands (cervical stenosis).
• Herniated Disc / Sciatica / Radiculopathy: Back or neck pain that often radiates into an arm or leg, potentially with numbness, tingling, weakness, or burning sensations, due to a spinal disc problem (herniation, protrusion, or bulge) compressing or irritating a nearby nerve root (radiculopathy). Sciatica specifically refers to radicular pain down the leg.

At InHome Rehab Pro Inc., physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Goldy frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Discover how physiotherapy with Goldy can help you move beyond awful foot pain first thing in the morning, like I'm walking on glass (plantar fasciitis). The focus is on implementing practical strategies to avoid re-injury during work or daily life, enabling a joyful return to the activities you love, such as returning to dancing, whether it's ballet, salsa, or just for fun.
• For those whose that burning pain between my shoulder blades from too much computer work has made competing effectively in their curling league games seem like a distant memory, Goldy's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward feeling less fatigued during physical activities and throughout the day. Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to competing effectively in their curling league games with greater comfort and renewed confidence.
• Goldy believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If sharp pain shooting down my leg, feeling a lot like sciatica is hindering your ability to simply enjoying leisurely daily walks around their neighborhood for fresh air, a personalized plan focusing on being active again without the constant worry of pain or re-injury can make all the difference.
• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of pain and difficulty with overhead movements like reaching into a cupboard? Goldy works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of improved core stability and control, leading to better posture and reduced strain. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as playing fetch with their dog in the park for an extended time.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Goldy, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

Is physiotherapy covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services in private outpatient clinics for most Ontarians. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations (e.g., post-hospitalization for certain conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams), but eligibility criteria are strict and waitlists may exist. Always check your private/extended health insurance plan, as many offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics.

What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?

It's not uncommon to experience some temporary soreness or a mild increase in symptoms after certain physiotherapy treatments, especially in the initial stages or if you're starting new exercises. This usually subsides within 24-48 hours. However, if you experience a significant or sharp increase in pain, new or worsening neurological symptoms (like numbness, tingling, or weakness), or if your soreness lasts longer than expected, it's important to contact InHome Rehab Pro Inc. or your physician directly. They can provide advice, adjust your treatment plan if necessary, or determine if you need to be reassessed.

What is InHome Rehab Pro Inc.'s appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. To ensure we can accommodate all our patients efficiently, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer the time slot to other patients who may be waiting for care. A fee may be charged for late cancellations (less than 24 hours' notice) or missed appointments without sufficient notice. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.

What types of conditions do Physiotherapists at InHome Rehab Pro Inc. treat?

Our Physiotherapists treat a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, issues like back and neck pain, joint problems (such as arthritis or post-surgical recovery), sports injuries, and nerve pain. We also have therapists with specialized skills in areas like Orthopedic and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy and Geriatric Physiotherapy / Seniors' Health. Our treatments often involve Tele-Rehabilitation / Virtual Physiotherapy Consultations, Core Stability & Strengthening Training, and patient education to help you achieve your functional goals.

What are InHome Rehab Pro Inc.'s operating hours?

InHome Rehab Pro Inc. is typically open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and some practitioners offer Saturday appointments from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. However, hours can vary by practitioner and day, so please call our office or check our website/online booking portal for the most current hours and specific practitioner availability.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiotherapist in ON?

Patients in ON can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a physician's referral. However, some private/extended health insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private health insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for registered physiotherapy services. Contact your insurer before your first appointment to understand your plan's specifics. If InHome Rehab Pro Inc. offers direct billing and your plan allows it, we can bill your insurer directly for the covered portion. You would then be responsible for any co-payment or remaining balance. Bring your insurance card and policy details to your first appointment. If direct billing isn't possible, we will provide a receipt for submission to your insurer.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

Comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement is best. Shorts are helpful for lower-body issues, and a tank top or loose t-shirt is suitable for upper-body issues.
