Physiotherapy
When you see a physiotherapist, he or she will complete an extensive
assessment that may include your health history, evaluation of pain and
movement patterns, strength, joint range of motion, reflexes, sensation and
cardiorespiratory status.
In addition physiotherapists may examine relevant x-rays, laboratory tests,
medical records and surgical notes to better tailor your treatment.

Massage
When you see a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), you will complete a
medical case history form and discuss your treatment goals and reasons for
seeking care. An individualized treatment plan will be developed between you
and your therapist based on your needs. Your RMT will discuss treatment
techniques that will be used. The treatment can be changed any time you wish
and will be reassessed at an appropriate, agreed upon time. The length of
your treatment can be discussed with the massage therapist and can range
from 30 minutes to 60 minutes. So book your assessment today and put
yourself at ease! Your muscles will thank-you!!
Chiropractor
On your first visit to Spinal Care Clinic's office, you can expect
professional courtesy, answers to your concerns, and a clear chiropractic
treatment plan for your pain relief and restoration of your quality of life.
The first visit will be a bit paperwork intensive - payment information,
privacy issues and office guidelines as well as some patient questions about
your pain and health history. Once this information is taken down, it will
quickly proceed to your comprehensive examination with the chiropractor
which will, in turn, lead to your diagnosis that establishes a baseline for
your chiropractic treatment care plan and result oriented expectations.
We look forward to your visit!
Naturopathic Doctor
Naturopathic medicine is a blend of science and traditional/natural forms of
medicine. The naturopathic philosophy is to stimulate the healing power of
the body and treat the underlying cause of disease. Naturopathic Medicine
emphasizes disease as a process rather than a diagnosis. Treatment is drawn
from a number of modalities such as Orthomolecular/Holistic nutrition,
Botanical medicine, Counseling, and Traditional Chinese
medicine/Acupuncture.
Naturopathic doctors (NDs) focus on disease prevention and improving a
patient's overall health. They are trained to provide collaborative care and
work with other health care professionals. Naturopathic doctors will
commonly receive referrals for acupuncture to treat infertility or
migraines, nutritional therapy for high cholesterol or irritable bowel
syndrome, and herbal and lifestyle therapies for chronic stress, allergies
and asthma. NDs will also receive referrals for patients who have
unresponsive chronic and complicated conditions.
Many work benefit plans cover your visits and lab testing with your
Naturopathic Doctor, and a referral is no
t necessary to see an ND.
