Our Downtown Toronto physiotherapy program sees a lot of fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a complex disorder of the musculoskeletal system that can affect the muscles and deep, soft tissue in the body. Although research has not confirmed a direct cause of fibromyalgia, medical professionals have an understanding of the various conditions that may contribute to its cause. For instance, genetics, infection, major trauma and stress. Primarily, fibromyalgia is associated with pain on trigger points where even the lightest pressure applied can result in tenderness and pain. Furthermore, those suffering from fibromyalgia, tend to experience general fatigue, insomnia, headaches, cognitive difficulty and a dull ache affecting the abdomen. Some of the main trigger points include the back of the head, upper part of the shoulders and chest, the outer elbows, as well as the hips and knees.
Rheumatoid Arthritis - Downtown Toronto Physiotherapy
Our Downtown Toronto physiotherapy program sees a lot of rheumatoid arthritis. Similar to fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis is a disorder that can cause a widespread pain throughout the body. Rheumatoid Arthritis is an inflammatory disease which attacks the joints and immune system. The tissue that lines the joints becomes swollen resulting in chronic pain, as well as potential bone erosion and deformity, typically visible in the hands and wrists. For some people, it is possible that some symptoms other than joint, muscle, or bones seem to be linked to other health issues they’ve been experiencing such as rashes, infections, and fevers. If you are suffering from RA, our team of experts will want to understand the level of your pain and where it is located, factors that may influence your pain, as well as how you managed your pain including, a list of all your prescriptions and over-the-counter medications you’ve been taking. A full history of your condition needs to be understood by the rheumatologist as each individual person who suffers from arthritis, autoimmune diseases, and other pain disorders in the joints, may have unique issues based on their overall health and lifestyle patterns, not one case is the same as another.

Postural Correction - Downtown Toronto Physiotherapy
Our Downtown Toronto physiotherapy program sees a lot of postural correction. Poor posture can have some damaging effects on our joints and muscles. What happens after prolonged poor posture, is that certain muscles tighten and shorten while others become longer and weaker. Due to the lack of support, the spine tends to curve and stress can be applied to surrounding muscles, joints and vertebrae. We can help improve your posture, strengthen the affected areas and get rid of that undesirable slouch. You must retrain your body to properly stand, sit, walk and lie down to prevent any further injury and reduce the pain in problem areas. Improving your posture can have many positive benefits, such as, looking great, increases in energy, and an overall boost in your confidence.

Peripheral neuropathy is when your peripheral nervous system becomes damaged and causes numbness and pain typically in the hands and feet. One, two or more nerves can be affected by peripheral neuropathy, which is differentiated by the terms, mononeuropathy or polyneuropathy. Most people who have peripheral neuropathy fall under the polyneuropathy category, where as a condition such as Carpal Tunnel is an example of mononeuropathy. Patients will usually describe the pain as a burning or tingling in the appendages. Our specialists will work with you to manage any medical conditions that will put you at further risk and alleviate your symptoms effectively.
