Back Neck Pain

• 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.
• Postural Back/Neck Pain: Discomfort, aching, stiffness, or muscle fatigue in the back or neck arising from sustained or awkward postures during daily activities, prolonged work (e.g., desk work, computer use), or sleep.

Post Surgical

• Post-Spinal Surgery Rehabilitation (e.g., Discectomy, Laminectomy, Fusion - with surgeon clearance): Restoring spinal function, core stability, and body mechanics post-operatively, ensuring a safe progression back to work, hobbies, and an active lifestyle.
• Post-Shoulder Surgery Rehabilitation (e.g., Rotator Cuff Repair, Labral Repair, Stabilization, Replacement): A progressive exercise program, often combined with manual therapy, designed to gradually restore your shoulder's range of motion, strength, and coordination following your operation.

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. Sachin Pandey can assess your needs.

• 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.
• Postural Assessment and Correction: Helping you understand how your posture impacts your musculoskeletal health and providing you with tools for lasting postural improvement and pain relief.
• Functional Movement Screening (FMS™/SFMA™ if certified): Identifying inefficient or compensatory movement patterns that could be contributing to your pain or hindering your physical performance.

At Altum Health, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Sachin Pandey frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Many find that loss of strength in one of my limbs after an injury significantly impacts their ability to painting or drawing for longer stretches without neck or shoulder ache. Sachin Pandey helps patients target better joint stability during movement and weight-bearing activities with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Are you finding that frequent headaches that seem to start from tension in my neck or shoulders stops you from enjoying taking long photography walks to capture nature or cityscapes? Sachin Pandey is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve feeling more resilient and less vulnerable to minor strains or injuries through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.
• Many patients have found lasting relief from recovering my strength and mobility after a knee or hip replacement surgery and achieved increased endurance for walking, allowing for longer and more enjoyable outings under the skilled care of Sachin Pandey. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as maintaining an upright posture while working on their computer for hours with a new lease on life.
• Sachin Pandey frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of my infant having a tilted head or a flat spot on their head (torticollis/plagiocephaly). A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets greater confidence when walking, standing, or navigating challenging environments and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like engaging in volunteer work that might have physical demands.

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

In Ontario, you typically do not need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist. This is known as direct access. However, some extended health insurance plans may require a referral for coverage, so it's crucial to check with your insurance provider before your appointment to understand their specific requirements.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Yes, absolutely! Physiotherapy plays a significant role in injury prevention and managing recurring pain. Your Physiotherapist can identify underlying risk factors such as muscle imbalances, poor movement patterns, postural issues, or biomechanical inefficiencies. By addressing these through targeted exercises, education on proper body mechanics, ergonomic advice, and activity modification, physiotherapy can help reduce your risk of initial injury, prevent re-injury, and manage chronic conditions more effectively, keeping you active and healthy.
