In the world of physiotherapy, there are numerous treatment options available to address pain, muscle tightness, and movement dysfunctions. One treatment that has gained significant attention for its effectiveness is Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) Dry Needling. While it might sound intimidating at first, IMS Dry Needling is a highly beneficial technique for those suffering from chronic pain or muscle stiffness.
If you're on the fence about trying physiotherapy, here are five key reasons why it might be just what you need to feel better and live more actively.
At Flex Physio & Wellness, we are committed to offering the latest evidence-based treatment programs to help you manage pain and improve mobility. One such program we are excited to introduce to our patients is the GLAD Program (Good Life with Osteoarthritis in Denmark). This program is specifically designed for individuals with hip or knee osteoarthritis (OA), a common condition that causes pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Whiplash injuries are among the most common results of motor vehicle accidents. These injuries can range from mild discomfort to severe spinal injury, which is why accurate assessment and classification are essential. In Alberta, many injuries are managed through the Diagnostic and Treatment Protocols Regulation (DTPR), which determines treatment coverage and the number of pre-approved visits available.
If you've been injured in a motor vehicle accident in Alberta, your treatments may fall outside the Diagnostic and Treatment Protocols Regulation (DTPR).
Your car accident injury is inside DTPR (in-protocol) if it is a sprain, strain or WAD 1 or 2 whiplash, you are within 90 days of the accident, and you are within the visit limit: up to 10 visits for a sprain, strain or WAD 1, and up to 21 for WAD 2. Book an assessment at Flex Physio & Wellness to confirm where your claim sits.
