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.
Primary Care
To be seen by our Physical Therapist we require all Personal Injury, Workers Comp, Auto Accident and Sports Injury patients obtain a referral from their (PCP) Primary Care Physician prior to scheduling.

Mental Health
A stroke affects the whole person; depending on the severity it can physically affect both your upper and lower limbs, your cognition, your vision, your speech and your emotional and mental health. As such, it is important to work with a full multidisciplinary team in order to best treat and manage all affected aspects. Your team may include your doctor, your Physical Therapist, a speech pathologist, an occupational therapist, a dietician, a psychologist, a social worker, and other health care professionals. 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
At your first treatment your Physical Therapist will evaluate and assess your condition. He/She will then set up a treatment plan that is specific to your needs requiring you to be seen 2-3 times per week, lasting 45-60 minutes each visit. Treatment plans are hands on, safe, and designed to strengthen and relieve you of pain encouraging your body to recover in the shortest time possible. Therapeutic treatments include, but are not limited to exercise, water, heat/ice, electrical stimulation, traction and ultrasound. It is important for the patient to feel comfortable with your therapist and understand that he/she is a skilled, licensed professional who is willing to answer any questions or concerns that you may have concerning your condition or treatment.
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
Computed Tomography

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...
