Physiotherapy with Acupuncture / Dry Needling

Acupuncture and Dry Needling can enhance your physiotherapy treatment by providing drug-free pain-relief and relieving chronically tight muscles. Acupuncture can treat a wide variety of health conditions, and at our clinic we use it to treat bone, muscle, joint and neurological conditions. Dry needling targets chronically tight and painful muscles - and often results in instant relief.

Physiotherapy with Low Level Laser

Low Level Laser can enhance your physiotherapy treatment by providing another drug-free, low-risk approach to fight muscle, joint or neurological conditions. Low level laser is also known as photobiomodulation therapy. It can reduce pain and speed healing.

TMJ Physiotherapy

TMJ physiotherapy provides relief from jaw pain and dysfunction. Your jaw joint is your Tempomandibular Joint ("TMJ"), and TMJ issues can cause facial pain, headaches, jaw clicking, jaw locking, neck pain, difficulty chewing, and difficulty speaking. Our physiotherapists have advanced training in treating TMJ conditions, and we work with your dentist to get you the relief you crave.
