What We Treat

Services

In addition to MVA physiotherapy, The Accident & Whiplash Clinic in Edmonton provides the following services.

Manual Therapy

Following a thorough assessment, we’ll devise a targeted physiotherapy strategy for you. Our sessions may include Manual Therapy to ease pain and enhance mobility. This process begins with discerning any abnormalities in joint movement—be it restriction or hypermobility. Through precise, hands-on techniques, we mobilize the affected joints, working towards stabilization and a return to natural function. Complemented by strengthening exercises and the strategic use of kinesio taping, our comprehensive approach is designed to restore your well-being. Beyond manual manipulation, we employ a blend of treatment modalities to provide top-tier care and help you regain optimal health.

Dry Needling / IMS

Functional Dry Needling (FDN), or dry needling, is a method where a fine needle is inserted through the skin into areas of the muscle known as trigger points. The procedure is often barely felt by patients as the needle pierces the skin, but the sensation may differ as it enters the muscle. Most individuals experience significant improvement within 2-4 sessions. The benefits of dry needling include alleviating acute and chronic pain, aiding in injury recovery, and potentially preventing future pain and injuries, all with minimal side effects.

TMJ Therapy

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders are a group of conditions that cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and muscles controlling jaw movement.

The impact of a collision can lead to whiplash and other forms of trauma that may affect the jaw, even if there is no direct injury to the face. This can result in misalignment or stress on the TMJ, leading to symptoms such as pain, difficulty in moving the jaw, and clicking or locking of the jaw joint. It’s important to evaluate and treat these symptoms promptly to prevent chronic pain.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment using acoustic waves to promote healing in injured tissues, improving circulation and accelerating the recovery process. Ideal for chronic conditions resistant to conventional therapy, it’s a quick procedure with sessions lasting about 15-20 minutes. Our clinic offers personalized shockwave therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, providing an effective alternative to medication or surgery for pain relief and restoration of function.

Dizziness / Vertigo / Concussion

Vestibular rehabilitation addresses dizziness and balance issues often stemming from inner ear problems. A physiotherapist, specially trained in this field, will evaluate the nature and cause of the imbalance to tailor an effective treatment plan. Therapy involves exercises, both in-clinic and at home, designed to recalibrate the connection between the vestibular system and the brain’s visual and proprioceptive pathways, helping to regain stability and reduce symptoms of vertigo.

Modality

Modalities serve as complementary treatments that physiotherapists might utilize to enhance healing processes and assist in managing pain during therapy sessions.

Below are some frequently used electrical and thermal modalities:

Interferential Current (IFC)
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES)
