Common Health Concerns Nishaben Patel Addresses

Nishaben D Patel provides skilled physiotherapist care for a variety of health concerns, including but not limited to:

Chronic Pain

  • Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) - Supportive Care: Physiotherapy for CRPS aims to manage severe pain, improve mobility and function, desensitize the affected limb, and promote normal use, often using techniques like graded motor imagery, mirror therapy, sensory discrimination training, and gentle graded exercise.
  • Fibromyalgia: Helping you cope with and manage the multifaceted symptoms of fibromyalgia through tailored exercise, education, and self-care strategies, focusing on improving daily function and overall well-being.
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) - Activity Management: A complex, chronic illness characterized by profound, persistent fatigue (not relieved by rest and often worsened by exertion - Post-Exertional Malaise or PEM), accompanied by other symptoms like pain, cognitive difficulties ('brain fog'), unrefreshing sleep, and orthostatic intolerance. Physiotherapy focuses on careful activity management and pacing, not graded exercise therapy that pushes through fatigue.
  • Persistent Post-Surgical Pain (Chronic): Physiotherapy strategies to help manage long-term pain, hypersensitivity, and functional limitations following an operation, improving your quality of life.

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.
  • Spinal Stenosis Symptoms: Back or neck pain accompanied by associated limb symptoms (pain, sensory changes, weakness) due to a constricted spinal canal, which physiotherapy can help manage conservatively.

Common Musculoskeletal

  • Hip Pain (e.g., Bursitis, Muscle Strains, Labral Issues - conservative): Hip problems that interfere with your mobility, sleep, and daily comfort, which can be effectively managed with physiotherapy interventions.
  • Shoulder Pain (e.g., Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy, Impingement, Frozen Shoulder/Adhesive Capsulitis): Pain, weakness, or restricted movement in the shoulder joint, often experienced with overhead activities, lifting, reaching behind your back, or sleeping on the affected side.

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. Nishaben D Patel can assess your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Physiotherapy in Etobicoke

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 of the population. 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. Always check your private/extended health insurance plans, as many offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics. Verify your specific eligibility for any public coverage directly with the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).
Does Physio In The Six Inc. offer direct billing to private insurance companies?
While we do not offer direct billing at this time, we provide detailed official receipts that you can easily submit to your insurer for reimbursement according to your plan. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment. Always confirm your specific coverage details, including any annual maximums, per-visit limits, or deductible requirements, directly with your insurance provider, as plans vary significantly. You are responsible for any portion not covered by your insurance.
Is there parking available at or near Physio In The Six Inc.?
Ample free parking is available directly in front of and beside our building. Look for the designated patient spots. Please check for any time limits or restrictions.
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.
What types of conditions do Physiotherapists at Physio In The Six Inc. treat?
Our Physiotherapists treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, back and neck pain, joint problems (such as arthritis or post-surgical recovery), and sports injuries. We also have therapists with specialized skills in areas like Pelvic Health Physiotherapy and Orthopedic and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy. Our treatments often involve manual therapy, exercise prescription, and patient education to help you achieve your functional goals.
What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?
Essentially, physiotherapy helps you get moving and stay moving effectively and comfortably. Whether you're dealing with an acute injury, chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, or a condition affecting your physical abilities, your Physiotherapist will work with you. They'll use their expertise in body mechanics, rehabilitation, and pain management to create a personalized treatment plan involving exercises, hands-on techniques, and practical advice to help you achieve your functional goals and live a more active, fulfilling life.
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 insurance provider before your first appointment to understand your plan's specifics. Key things to check are: your annual maximum for physiotherapy, any per-visit limits or co-payments, whether a doctor's referral is required for reimbursement, and if your plan allows for direct billing by the clinic. If direct billing is not possible, we will provide you with an official receipt that you can submit to your insurer. You are responsible for any co-payment or remaining balance not covered by your plan.
