Physio & Rehab Services

Physiotherapy is a form of primary care that is directed at evaluating, restoring, and maintaining physical function which may have been lost or degraded due to injury, straining, age, or disease. We achieve this through education, prevention and treatment of the injury or disease.

Our Naturopathic Doctors are primary care health professionals that focus on treating the body as whole through individualized care. They are experts in natural medicine and integrate a variety of natural therapies to support the body’s innate ability to heal itself. No matter the cause (physical, psychological, emotional, or social), a symptom is the body’s way of expressing that it is in disarray and that certain organs or systems may not be working as they should. We promote health through prevention and focus on addressing the root cause of disease.

What sets our naturopathic clinic apart is our personalized approach to caring for each patient and addressing your individual needs. We concentrate on you individually and holistically as a whole person and can help restore your health by addressing the causes and not just the symptoms of your disease. Evidence based natural therapies are utilized while respecting and addressing the energetic and spiritual contributors to health. Our goal is to remove the obstacles which are holding you back from achieving a higher level of health, all in a safe and supportive healing environment.

Some of the common conditions our Naturopaths treat include:

• Digestive concerns
• Hormonal imbalances
• Fertility
• Mental health including anxiety and depression
• Immune health
• Prenatal care
• Pediatric health conditions including autism, ADD and ADHD
• Weightloss
• Diabeties, high cholesterol, high blood pressure
• Allergies and sensitivities
• Arthritis and osteoporosis

Acupuncture is an evidence-based treatment technique using disposable, stainless steel (hair-like) needles to help regulate the body’s nervous system and balance energy in the body in order to keep it functional and healthy. Acupuncture has been shown to decrease pain by promoting the release of naturally-produced chemicals called endorphins. Acupuncture also increases blood circulation by increasing blood flow and promoting Qi (energy within the body). The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural healing abilities.

Acupuncture is very effective in treating a variety of painful disorders, both acute and chronic and can also be used to activate muscles that are too weak, loosen muscles that are too tight and restore conductivity in the nerves that supply them. Regular treatment will balance your nervous system, enhance your overall immunity, and reduce local and systemic inflammation.

Our Acupuncturist will conduct a comprehensive health history and physical examination to determine a specific diagnosis & personalized treatment plan. The use of Acupuncture is safe and very effective and often incorporated by various health practitioners at the Albion-Islington Medical Centre as part of a treatment plan.
