Nolan Otto Roesch

Nolan Otto Roesch provides skilled physiotherapy care for a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:

Common Msk

• Knee Pain (e.g., Patellofemoral Syndrome, Meniscal Issues - conservative, Ligament Sprains): Aching, sharp pain, a feeling of the knee 'giving way', or difficulty fully bending or straightening your knee.
• Ankle Sprains and Instability: A 'rolled' or twisted ankle with subsequent swelling, tenderness, and difficulty putting your full weight on the foot.

Back Neck Pain

• 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.
• 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.

Joint Pain

• Tendinopathy/Tendonitis (e.g., Achilles, Patellar, Rotator Cuff, Tennis/Golfer's Elbow): Conditions like 'jumper's knee' (patellar tendinopathy), 'swimmer's shoulder' (rotator cuff tendinopathy), or 'tennis elbow' (lateral epicondylitis) caused by tendon issues that limit your ability to perform specific tasks.
• 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.

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

• Muscle Energy Techniques (MET): A form of manual therapy that actively involves you in your treatment, utilizing your body's muscular effort to achieve specific therapeutic effects on restricted joints and shortened soft tissues.
• Manual Therapy (Joint Mobilization & Manipulation): Application of precise, passive movements to joints to decrease stiffness, relieve pain, and facilitate easier, more comfortable movement.
• Neural Mobilization Techniques (Nerve Gliding): Targeted therapy to alleviate symptoms such as shooting pain, pins and needles, or weakness arising from neural tension or entrapment.
• Comprehensive Musculoskeletal Assessment: An in-depth examination to fully understand your specific condition, allowing your Physiotherapist to create an effective and personalized rehabilitation plan.
• Patient Education & Self-Management Strategies: Providing clear guidance on self-care techniques, activity modifications, and beneficial lifestyle adjustments for long-term well-being and injury prevention.
• Soft Tissue Mobilization & Release Techniques: Application of skilled soft tissue techniques to manage pain, stiffness, and improve function in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia.

At St. Mary's Hospital, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Nolan frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Patients often come to Nolan feeling defeated by sharp pain shooting down my leg, feeling a lot like sciatica. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving improved joint health and a slowing of degenerative processes through better biomechanics and resuming performing tasks requiring fine motor skills and dexterity with ease becomes a realistic and attainable goal.
• Many find that trouble with everyday tasks because of pain or weakness in my hands or grip significantly impacts their ability to returning to a specific physical hobby you had to give up due to pain. Nolan helps patients target improved circulation and tissue healing with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Living with post-operative stiffness and weakness that's slowing down my recovery doesn't have to be your norm. Nolan applies expert physiotherapy knowledge to work towards achieving personal fitness goals that once seemed out of reach, so you can get back to the simple pleasure of participating in light recreational activities like bowling or mini-golf.

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

Nolan's practice is located at St. Mary's Hospital, situated in a central Camrose neighborhood easily accessible for residents and visitors alike. The clinic is conveniently positioned near local community services and pharmacies, making it easy for patients to combine their appointments with other errands or healthcare needs. The facility is well-connected via local public transit routes, ensuring accessible transportation options for all. Our clinic is wheelchair accessible. Ample parking is generally accessible close to the clinic entrance.

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

In Alberta, AHCIP provides limited coverage for some physiotherapy services, typically after hospital discharge or for specific low-income individuals and seniors through particular programs. Most outpatient private clinic physiotherapy is not directly covered by AHCIP for the general population. Patients are advised to check current AHCIP details and their private insurance plans for coverage options.

What are St. Mary's Hospital's operating hours?

St. Mary's Hospital 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. However, hours can vary by practitioner and day, so please call our office at (780) 679-6120 or check our website for the most current hours and specific practitioner availability.

Our friendly reception team will be happy to assist you in finding a suitable appointment time with the right physiotherapist for your needs.

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

Patients in Alberta can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a physician's referral, known as direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended to check the requirements of your individual insurance policy before your first appointment.

What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?

Some temporary post-treatment soreness can be normal, similar to after a good workout. However, if your pain significantly worsens, if you develop new concerning symptoms, or if the discomfort persists beyond a day or two, please contact us. Your Physiotherapist will want to know to provide guidance and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Open communication is essential for your recovery.
