Stroke Rehabilitation
The goal of rehabilitation after stroke is to teach you to become as independent as possible. The keystone to stroke rehabilitation is reteaching the brain to do the functions that have been affected by the stroke. The brain has an incredible ability to retrain a different area of the brain to take over the functions of the brain that have been lost due to the stroke. This is called neuroplasticity. “Neuro” refers to the brain cells and “plasticity” refers to the pliable nature of different brain cells to take over lost functions. With rehabilitation, brain cells regenerate, re-establish, and rearrange the needed brain circuits to resume lost functions despite the original cells and pathways having been damaged by the stroke. The brain effectively compensates for the dead or damaged brain cells. In instances where it cannot establish these new connections, rehabilitation works to teach the brain and body to compensate for the disabilities that occur due to the stroke.

Labor and Delivery
Man’s does not, it is obvious why women are susceptible to several health issues and painful conditions that men will never encounter. Everything from monthly menses to childbirth to menopause, all are natural experiences that women encounter which have the potential to cause discomfort, pain or associated health problems.

As such, it is important to work with a full multidisciplinary team in order to best treat and manage all affected aspects.

Together this team of professionals can address your deficits as a whole and work together to provide you with the most effective treatment to maximize your overall abilities.

Ultrasound
MRI
Computed Tomography (CT) scan and/or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan: These tests are done on your brain and used to locate the exact location of the stroke and to determine if it has been caused by a blockage or a bleed. These tests can also help rule out other conditions that may be causing symptoms, such as an infection or a brain tumour

Sciatica
Piriformis muscle injections are commonly used to determine what is causing buttock and sciatica type pain. Piriformis muscle injections are both diagnostic injections and therapeutic injections, meaning that they can both help your health care professional determine the cause of your pain and may also provide you with relief from the pain. These injections work to eliminate pain temporarily by paralyzing the piriformis muscle and stopping spasm in the muscle. If the piriformis muscle is injecte...

Physical Therapy
A Physical Therapist is a specialist in treating musculoskeletal and movement disorders. Pain often accompanies or is a symptom of a movement disorder. A Physical Therapist can help correct the disorder and relieve pain. Physical Therapists also focus on a patient’s functional abilities. All of our Physical Therapists have a Master’s degree or Doctorate in Physical Therapy from an accredited University.
