Back Neck Pain

• 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.
• 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.
• Postural Back/Neck Pain: Pain and muscle tension related to ergonomic factors at work or home, muscle imbalances, and suboptimal body mechanics or movement habits.
• Spinal Stenosis Symptoms: Nerve compression symptoms due to a narrowing (stenosis) of the spinal canal or the small openings where nerves exit the spine (foramina), most commonly in the lumbar (lower back) or cervical (neck) regions.

Post Surgical

• Post-ACL or Other Knee Ligament Reconstruction Rehabilitation: Comprehensive physiotherapy for knee ligament injuries post-operatively, focusing on restoring full knee function, power, and agility to meet your specific athletic or lifestyle demands.
• Post-Hip Replacement Rehabilitation (Total or Partial Hip Arthroplasty - THA/PHA): A tailored physiotherapy program following hip joint replacement to optimize your recovery, manage pain, ensure adherence to any precautions, and facilitate a return to an active lifestyle.

Joint Pain

• Osteoarthritis (Knee, Hip, Spine, Hands, Other Joints): A chronic condition causing joint discomfort, stiffness (especially in the morning or after inactivity), and impacting your ability to perform daily activities, walk, or engage in hobbies.
• Tendinopathy/Tendonitis (e.g., Achilles, Patellar, Rotator Cuff, Tennis/Golfer's Elbow): Persistent tendon pain that can interfere with your sports, work, or daily activities, often requiring specific loading programs and advice from a physiotherapist for effective management.

This list offers examples of conditions commonly addressed. If your specific concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic. Eve can assess your needs.

• Other Electrotherapy Applications (e.g., NMES, FES): Employing different types of electrotherapy to support your rehabilitation goals, including promoting tissue healing or improving motor control.
• Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) / Photobiomodulation: A non-invasive light therapy used in physiotherapy to treat various musculoskeletal conditions, promote faster healing, reduce pain, and modulate inflammation without generating heat.
• Therapeutic Heat Application: Superficial heat application carefully monitored by your therapist to promote relaxation, pain relief, and enhance the effectiveness of other treatments.
• Cryotherapy Application (Cold Therapy): Cold therapy techniques applied by your therapist to effectively alleviate acute pain, reduce inflammation, and manage muscle soreness or spasm.
• Interferential Current (IFC) / TENS Therapy: The use of specific electrical stimulation devices (IFC or TENS) by your Physiotherapist to provide pain relief, reduce muscle spasm, decrease swelling, or promote muscle activation and re-education.
• Therapeutic Ultrasound Application: Ultrasound therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, often used to prepare tissues for manual therapy or exercise, or to manage acute and chronic soft tissue injuries.

At CIUSSS de l'Est-de-l'Île-de-Montréal (Maisonneuve-Rosemont), physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Eve frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• The path to recovery from feeling like my joints are just 'wearing out' and getting harder to move and achieving feeling more stable and confident on their feet, especially on uneven surfaces for challenging myself with indoor or outdoor rock climbing often starts with expert guidance. Eve, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.
• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of trouble with a constantly stiff and sore neck, making turning my head a pain? Eve works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of enjoying less stiffness in the mornings and throughout the day. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as returning to a specific physical hobby you had to give up due to pain.
• It's truly rewarding for Eve to witness patients conquer a noticeable curve in my child's spine or uneven shoulders (scoliosis concerns) and experience achieving personal fitness goals that once seemed out of reach. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in attending and enjoying your children's or grandchildren's sporting events again.

What types of conditions do Physiothérapeutes at CIUSSS de l'Est-de-l'Île-de-Montréal (Maisonneuve-Rosemont) treat?

Our Physiothérapeutes treat a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiorespiratory conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, issues like back and neck pain (including Herniated Discs, Sciatica, Whiplash), joint problems such as arthritis or post-surgical recoveries (e.g., knee ligament or hip replacements), sports injuries, tendinopathies, and nerve pain.

Is physiotherapy covered by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

Generally, RAMQ does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket or rely on private insurance for coverage. Care received directly within a public hospital or CLSC may be covered if meeting specific criteria. It is advisable to verify your eligibility directly with RAMQ and check your private/extended health insurance plans, as many offer substantial coverage for physiotherapy services in private clinics.

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

It is recommended to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated and freedom of movement. For example, shorts or athletic wear are ideal for lower limb issues, while a tank top or loose t-shirt works well for shoulder or upper back concerns. You may also be provided with a gown if necessary.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiothérapeute in QC?

Patients in Quebec can typically see a Physiothérapeute directly without a physician's referral, thanks to the province's direct access model. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check your insurance policy beforehand to confirm any specific requirements.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Physiotherapy helps you move better and manage pain effectively. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or working towards athletic goals, a Physiothérapeute will develop a personalized plan involving exercises, manual therapy, and education to help you regain strength, flexibility, and confidence in your physical abilities.

What is the difference between a Physiotherapist (Physiothérapeute) and a Physiotherapy Technologist (Technologue en physiothérapie) in Quebec?

A Physiothérapeute has completed a master's level university program, enabling them to assess, diagnose, and develop comprehensive treatment plans. They can perform advanced procedures if qualified. A Technologue en physiothérapie holds a college diploma (DEC), focusing on the technical application of treatments, assisting Physiothérapeutes and implementing prescribed therapies under supervision.
