Dry Needling

Dry Needling, what is it and how does it work?

Dry needling is a technique used in which a fine sterile filiform needle is used to penetrate the skin and muscle for the treatment of pain and movement impairments. These needles contain no liquid, and nothing is injected. It is an effective treatment for acute and chronic pain.

Physiotherapists practice dry needling with the primary goal of releasing or inactivating trigger points to relive pain or improve range of motion. During treatment it is common to feel or experience a local twitch response of the target tissue. This is the first step in breaking the pain cycle which will improve flexibility and decrease pain. This may help speed up the patients return to active rehabilitation and function.

Sometimes we add electrical stimulation to the solid filiform needles during a dry needling session. Electro-stimulation improves the circulation of natural analgesics (endorphins and opioids) in order to reduce pain. Blood circulation is also stimulated, promoting the delivery of nutrients to tissue, speeding up the healing processes. Electro-stimulation allows stronger, more continuous stimulation. The Electro-stimulation treatment lasts approximately 10-15 minutes and you will be free to go about your usual activities post treatment.

What types of conditions can dry needling assist?

Neck/Back pain
Shoulder pain
Tennis/Golfers Elbow
Hip and Gluteal pain
Plantar Fasciitis
Sciatica
Muscle strains and sprains
Headaches

Acupuncture

Acupuncture for the modulation of pain may be incorporated into patient treatment regimes. It is designed to treat both the symptoms and the root cause of the patient’s injury or illness. It is a safe and effective treatment option that stimulates the release of endorphins facilitating pain relief, increasing energy, improving overall mood and body function.

Due to extensive post-graduate training and examinations being required to safely practice acupuncture in Manitoba, only those physiotherapists who have completed the above requirements are able to and will administer this treatment to patients.

Reconditioning and Work Hardening Programs

Specific reconditioning and return to work programs are designed for patients injured in motor vehicle accidents (MVA), workplace injuries, or have suffered significant trauma and psychological stresses. These programs are meant to facilitate a gradual return to work and best prepare and accustom the patients injured body to their previous work duties while decreasing the chance of further musculoskeletal injuries.

A Kinesiologist/Personal Trainer may be involved throughout the program to provide one on one patient care to ensure exercises are being completed safely, in a timely fashion and as prescribed. The physiotherapist will oversee the program and administer a detailed initial, mid-term and final assessment with reports encompassing the detailed assessment to be sent to the case managers for the 3rd party insurers.

In addition to the reconditioning/work hardening programs, Complete will also include detailed education on pain mechanisms, pain management, and provide the patients with various resources to help maximize their progress within the program.

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

The Pelvic floor is a commonly overlooked group of muscles in the body. These muscles and ligaments run from the pubic bone to tailbone to the sit bones and across. The pelvic floor performs a large roll in stabilization, continence and can be a source of pain for 1 in 5 people. Pelvic floor dysfunction can develop from either tight, weak, or poorly coordinated muscles. Pelvic floor treatment is available to women, men, and children of all ages. Through an extensive hands-on examination, a pelvic floor therapist can determine one’s source of dysfunction in order to improve upon their symptoms.

Commonly Treated Conditions:

Bladder and Bowel Incontinence
Overactive Bladder
Constipation
Pelvic Pains
Sexual Dysfunctions/Pains
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Abdominal Pains Associated with Bloat
Low Back, Hip or Coccyx (Tailbone) Pains
Athletes
Pre and Post Operative Surgeries

What To Expect:

A pelvic floor therapist will take an extensive history detailing one’s dysfunctions, pains, goals, and past medical history. From there, the therapist will perform a movement-based assessment, and external examination of the pelvic floor region. With approval, the therapist will also perform an internal pelvic exam using gloves and lubricant, looking for sources that could be contributing to the cause of dysfunction. Once this is completed, the therapist will provide treatment for the dysfunctions found. In addition, patients can expect education and prescribed exercises to help facilitate the improvement of their condition.

Hand and Upper Extremity Therapy

Hand and Upper Extremity Therapy is a unique area of practice that involves rehabilitation of the upper limb, including the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder girdle. It is a merging of occupational and physical therapy theory and practice that combines comprehensive knowledge of the structure of the upper limb with function and activity. Using specific skills in assessment, diagnosing, planning and treatment, physiotherapists provide evidenced based, therapeutic interventions to prevent long lasting dysfunction, restore function, maximize outcomes and restore quality of life.

Treatment for the upper extremity may include bracing and splinting, post-surgical rehabilitation, manual therapy, graded motor imagery, sensory re-education, scar and swelling management.

Temporomandibular (Jaw) Joint Treatment

The temporomandibular joint, or TMJ is the joint that connects your jawbone to your skull. There are many causes of temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) including arthritis, jaw injury or clenching and teeth grinding. Physiotherapists can assess, diagnose, treat and refer those individuals presenting with TMD to other health care professionals including dentists and physicians.

Treating the TMJ is a unique area of practice that requires a more personal relationship with the therapist as it involves the physiotherapists gloved hand in the patient’s mouth to accurately assess, diagnose and treat the injury.

Post Concussion Management

Concussions are forms of brain injury resulting from a direct or indirect blow to the head, face or jaw causing an alteration in brain function. As concussions produce a wide array of symptoms, this can pose a challenge to coaches, trainers, parents and health professionals involved in the care of the injured athlete.

The time frame for recovery varies widely for every patient, making it that much more imperative to have specific and tailored rehab programs for every individual that presents with concussion-like symptoms to reduce the risk of premature sport activity and delay full return to pre-injury levels.

Key components of concussion treatment include education, prevention and management emphasizing individualized resting strategies, specific recommendations regarding return to work and play, manual therapy for associated neck complaints, screening and referral for vision therapy, balance, coordination and vestibular-based rehabilitation and tailored exercise plans for return-to-sport. All these services are offered and accessible through the physiotherapy clinic.
