Joint Pain

• Osteoarthritis (Knee, Hip, Spine, Hands, Other Joints): Joint pain, aching, and functional limitation due to the progressive loss of cartilage, which physiotherapy can help manage through exercise, education, and pain relief strategies.

Sports Injury

• Muscle Strains (e.g., Hamstring, Calf, Groin, Quadriceps, Rotator Cuff): Damage to muscle tissue that can range from minor micro-tears to more significant partial or complete tears, impacting strength, power, and range of motion.
• Ligament Sprains (e.g., ACL, MCL, PCL, Ankle Ligaments): Common joint injuries in athletes affecting stability, causing immediate pain, swelling, bruising, and functional loss, often requiring a structured rehabilitation program.
• IT Band Syndrome (Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome): An overuse injury resulting from repetitive friction of the IT band over the lateral femoral epicondyle (at the knee) or greater trochanter (at the hip).
• Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner's Knee / Anterior Knee Pain): Pain felt around, under, or behind the kneecap (patella), often described as a dull ache that is aggravated by activities like running, jumping, squatting, using stairs (especially going down), or prolonged sitting with the knee bent.

Back & Neck Pain

• Herniated Disc / Sciatica / Radiculopathy: Sharp, shooting, electric-like, or burning pain that travels along the path of a nerve due to issues with intervertebral discs or other spinal structures.
• Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD): Post-traumatic neck pain, restricted movement, and associated issues common after car accidents, which benefit from early and appropriate physiotherapy intervention.

• Muscle Energy Techniques (MET): Gentle, active manual therapy techniques where you use your own specific muscle contractions against your therapist's controlled resistance to improve joint mobility, lengthen tight tissues, and reduce pain.
• Neural Mobilization Techniques (Nerve Gliding): Gentle, specific movements and mobilizations designed to address nerve-related pain (like sciatica or carpal tunnel symptoms), tingling, numbness, or restrictions by improving the nerve's ability to glide freely and reducing irritation.

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

In Alberta, patients can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a physician's referral, a process known as direct access. However, while a referral is not legally required to receive physiotherapy services, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement. It is advisable to check the specific requirements of your insurance policy before your first appointment to ensure coverage.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your initial appointment involves a comprehensive assessment. Jordan will begin by discussing your medical history, current symptoms or injury, and your goals for physiotherapy. This is followed by a physical examination, which may include evaluating your range of motion, strength, posture, balance, and movement patterns. Based on these findings, Jordan will provide a diagnosis, discuss a personalized treatment plan, and often initiate some initial therapy or provide education and home exercises to support your recovery.

Is there parking available at or near Lifemark (Airdrie Genesis Place)?

Yes, there is ample free patient parking available directly in front of and beside the clinic. Look for designated patient parking spots. Additional parking options include street parking and paid public lots nearby. Please always check local signage for any restrictions or time limits.

Is physiotherapy covered by the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?

In Alberta, AHCIP provides limited coverage for certain physiotherapy services, typically after hospital discharge or for specific low-income individuals and seniors through targeted programs. Most outpatient physiotherapy services at private clinics are not directly covered by AHCIP for the general population. Patients are encouraged to review their private insurance plans for coverage details.
