Physiotherapy Clinic Toronto

Dry Needling is a form of acupuncture used to minimize muscle pain. It involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific trigger points or tight muscle bands, aiming to release tension and promote pain relief. It targets central nervous system pain and is very effective in decreasing chronic pain. Unlike acupuncture, which follows traditional Chinese medicine principles, dry needling focuses on targeting myofascial trigger points and restoring normal muscle function. This minimally invasive procedure can provide relief from a range of conditions, including muscle spasms, chronic pain, and sports injuries.

Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is an advanced, non-invasive medical treatment used to manage various musculoskeletal conditions and injuries. It involves the application of high-energy acoustic waves to specific areas of the body, typically where chronic pain, tendonitis, or soft tissue injuries are present. Shockwave therapy promotes tissue regeneration, increases blood flow, and accelerates the body’s natural healing processes. All physiotherapists at ALPHA Health Services are trained in delivering shockwave therapy, which offers a non-surgical alternative to alleviate pain and enhance musculoskeletal function.

Massage therapy is a holistic healthcare approach that involves the manipulation of soft tissues in the body, including muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Highly trained massage therapists use techniques to relieve tension, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. Massage therapy can target specific areas of discomfort or provide a full-body treatment, making it suitable for addressing conditions such as chronic pain, stress-related ailments, and post-injury recovery. At ALPHA Health Services, massage therapy is offered for relaxation, relieving muscle pain, preventing stiffness and aiding in rehabilitation.

Concussion rehabilitation is a specialized therapeutic process designed to help individuals recover from the effects of a concussion, a traumatic brain injury resulting from a blow or jolt to the head. Our physiotherapists are trained extensively in concussion management. We cater to the rehabilitation of each individual and focus on treating the person rather than just the symptoms. The goal is to facilitate a safe and complete recovery, minimize long-term complications, and optimize the individual’s functional capacity.
