Back Neck Pain

• Postural Back/Neck Pain: Muscular pain, trigger points, and tension headaches resulting from habitual poor posture, which can be addressed with postural re-education, exercises, and ergonomic advice.
• 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 Anatomy Physiotherapy Clinic, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Halli Pedlow frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Halli Pedlow believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If a noticeable curve in my child's spine or uneven shoulders (scoliosis concerns) is hindering your ability to painting or drawing for longer stretches without neck or shoulder ache, a personalized plan focusing on less reliance on pain medication, trusting more in their body's ability to heal and function can make all the difference.
• Patients struggling with general muscle strains and pulls from overdoing it at the gym or in the garden can find dedicated and compassionate support from Halli Pedlow. The therapeutic focus is squarely on achieving a safe and confident return to their favorite sport or recreational activity, using a range of physiotherapy services to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as being able to perform deep cleaning tasks around the house.
• With Halli Pedlow's help, managing recovering my strength and energy after being very sick (like with pneumonia or Long COVID) to achieve feeling less fatigued during physical activities and throughout the day becomes a clear journey, allowing patients to confidently re-engage with life and activities like working on detailed woodworking projects in their shop without hand pain.
• The journey to a deeper understanding of their condition and how to manage it proactively for long-term well-being when faced with persistent feeling unsteady on my feet or experiencing dizziness and balance problems is made smoother and more effective with Halli Pedlow's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like taking group exercise classes at the community center.

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

In Ontario, you can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a doctor's referral. This is known as direct access. However, some private/extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement of physiotherapy services. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider before your first appointment to understand their specific requirements.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Yes, a personalized home exercise program is a crucial and integral component of most physiotherapy treatment plans. Your Physiotherapist will prescribe specific exercises tailored to your condition, abilities, and goals. These exercises are designed to complement your in-clinic treatment, help you manage your symptoms effectively between sessions, accelerate your recovery, and empower you with tools for long-term self-management. Your active participation in your home program is key for optimal results.

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 there may be waitlists. It is strongly recommended that you check your private/extended health insurance plan, as many offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics.

What are Anatomy Physiotherapy Clinic's operating hours?

Anatomy Physiotherapy Clinic 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.
