Back Neck Pain

• Postural Back/Neck Pain: A common cause of persistent back and neck pain due to the cumulative strain of prolonged sitting, standing, or performing tasks in non-ideal positions.
• Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD): A range of neck and related symptoms including pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and sometimes arm pain or cognitive difficulties, following a rapid acceleration-deceleration injury to the neck, most typically from a motor vehicle accident.

Sports Injury

• Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner's Knee / Anterior Knee Pain): Dull, aching pain in the front of the knee, often related to issues with the alignment and movement of the patella within the femoral groove.
• Stress Fractures (Activity-Related - Conservative Management/Rehab): A bone injury resulting from an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation due to repetitive mechanical loading, often seen in runners or athletes who rapidly increase their training.
• Ligament Sprains (e.g., ACL, MCL, PCL, Ankle Ligaments): Injuries like a 'twisted ankle', 'knee ligament injury', or 'shoulder separation' (AC joint sprain) sustained during athletic activity or accidental falls.

This list offers examples of conditions commonly addressed. Diagnosis for physiotherapist is based on individual assessment, so if your specific concern isn't listed, please contact the clinic. Kelly can assess your needs.

• Spinal Decompression / Mechanical Traction: Therapeutic traction for the cervical (neck) or lumbar (low back) spine, used by physiotherapists to help reduce pain, decompress nerve roots, and improve symptoms associated with conditions like disc herniations, sciatica, or spinal stenosis.
• Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) / Photobiomodulation: Utilizing therapeutic laser to enhance tissue regeneration, reduce pain signals, and manage inflammation as part of your comprehensive physiotherapy care.
• Therapeutic Heat Application: The use of moist heat packs, paraffin wax, or other heat sources by your Physiotherapist to relax muscles, increase local blood flow, reduce stiffness, alleviate chronic pain, and improve tissue extensibility.
• Other Electrotherapy Applications (e.g., NMES, FES): The therapeutic use of different electrical currents by your Physiotherapist to achieve specific physiological effects, such as improving muscle contraction, reducing atrophy, or enhancing functional movement.
• Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT): A non-invasive, evidence-based treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and promote tissue regeneration in stubborn soft tissue conditions that haven't responded to other therapies.
• 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 Erie St Clair LHIN, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Kelly frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of recovering from surgery to my hand or wrist? Kelly works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of implementing practical strategies to avoid re-injury during work or daily life. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as managing the physical demands of their job without constant pain.
• Are you finding that my child walking on their toes most of the time stops you from enjoying reading a good book for hours without experiencing neck pain or headaches? Kelly is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve restored joint function, leading to smoother and more coordinated movements through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.
• Kelly believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If recovering my strength and mobility after a knee or hip replacement surgery is hindering your ability to simply being able to get through a workday without constant pain interruptions, a personalized plan focusing on greater ease with dressing, bathing, and other self-care activities can make all the difference.
• The path to recovery from my baby/child having trouble with their motor skills, like delayed rolling, sitting or walking and achieving better managing flare-ups with personalized strategies and feeling more in control of their symptoms for travelling more comfortably on planes, trains, or in cars for longer durations often starts with expert guidance. Kelly, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.

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