Our Services
Physiotherapy
We believe one-on-one care results in a more individualized plan, more effective treatment and faster recovery. Physiotherapy is more than just machines and we believe an effective treatment consists of manual therapy, exercises (both in clinic and at home) and education.
At Springside Physio, we offer Shockwave Therapy, the gold standard in the treatment of plantar fasciatis and chronic tendonopathies. We also offer traditional acupuncture, dry needling, ultrasound and IFC. We have extended knowledge in the treatment of post-concussion syndrome and running injuries and prevention.
Shockwave
Highly effective non-invasive treatment that generates high-energy sound waves into the injured tissue. This energy vibrates the tissue cells which stimulates the body’s natural healing response. Shockwave enhances blood circulation which promotes tissue regeneration. It also temporarily reduces sensation of local nerve endings which helps to relieve pain and increase tolerance to exercise, thus helping the tissue to grow back stronger.
Reduces PAIN, improves tolerance to ACTIVITY and accelerates HEALING
Acupuncture and Dry Needling
Functional dry needling (FDN) is a treatment technique used in the management of musculoskeletal pain. “Dry needling” is a generic term for the insertion and manipulation of an acupuncture needle into areas of soft tissue that are causing pain. These areas, referred to as “trigger points”, are highly sensitive muscle bands that are maladaptively shortened. When the needle is inserted into these points most clients will feel a dull cramping sensation or “twitch response” which is the sensation of the muscle releasing. By releasing these areas of tension the muscles are then able to move smoothly through a full range of motion. This in turn allows joints to glide correctly, prevents adverse tension on neurological tissue, and can aid in return to exercise & activity.
Ask your physiotherapist if dry needling or acupuncture will benefit your condition.
