Vaughan Physiotherapy & Chiropractic

You do not need a doctor’s referral for physiotherapy. However, if you are going to use your health insurance to cover the cost of therapy, the insurance provider may ask you for a doctor’s referral.

Physiotherapy focuses on removing the cause of the problem as opposed to superficially treating the symptoms. This process may take some time, but the results are often more permanent with less chance of the disorder returning.

Although each clinic’s approach to intake, assessment, and therapy vary, generally speaking your physiotherapist will ask a series of questions that will help better describe all of your symptoms in detail. Your physiotherapist can then carry out your assessment. They will examine you physically and discuss the findings, the cause of the problem, and suggest a solution that can effectively treat your ailment.

Physiotherapy focuses on the cause of the problem. There can be use of advanced modalities and exercises to reduce pain and improve function. Chiropractic usually focuses on spinal or joint adjustments by hand to improve range of motion and reduce pain. At Simply Align we can offer both at the same time or choose one for you.

The first appointment usually takes about an hour for a full assessment. Subsequent treatments can be shorter or longer depending upon the condition and the treatment required. Subsequent physiotherapy treatments can be twenty to thirty minutes in length.

The treatment administered by physiotherapists varies and can range from exercise, manipulation, stretching, and soft tissue massage among other therapy options. At Simply Align Rehab we have created a unique technique using advanced technology such as Tecar, Shockwave, Laser and Induction therapy to get immediate results followed by simple exercises both in clinic and at home. Most of our patients are very happy with our approach as it is fast and cost effective.
