Our two flagship programs, Headache and Migraine and Back Care, programs have a proven track record of providing successful and timely results. At Guelph Rehab Centre, we’ve found the perfect combination of treatment and delivery approaches that will get the results you are looking for.
Headaches and migraines are extremely common, as is back pain. Unfortunately, since COVID-19, these issues are increasingly becoming more common. Either people have been faced with losing a job, reduced income, worrying about staying healthy, or have been working at home in make-shift offices. All these stressors can lead to muscle and joint issues from poor posture. There have also been symptomatic correlations made between COVID-19 and back pain, as well. Whether the back pain is from an immune response or from constant coughing causing rib and back muscle fatigue and strain.
Guelph Rehab Centre offers a comprehensive Headache & Migraine Program and a Back Pain Program that focuses on specific areas to address the following causes:
- restricted muscles, ligaments, and tendons
- trigger points
- adhesions/scar tissue
- nerve entrapments and impingements
- poor posture/spinal malalignment
- improper body mechanics
- repetitive strain
Guelph Rehab Centre’s unique Collaborative Team approach provides effective results often after just a few sessions!
We integrate a customized combination of 6 key components:
- Manual therapy (Active Release Therapy, Myofascial Release, Joint Mobilization) - for Nerve Entrapments in tight muscles and restricted joints.
- Spinal Decompression (computerized decompression table) - for Nerve compression in spinal joints.
- Modalities (i.e. Cold Low-Level Laser) - for inflammation and muscle spasms.
- Acupuncture (Medical Acupuncture & Dry needling) - medically proven to effectively treat trigger points in the neck related to cervicogenic headaches.
- Postural education and correction.
- Active rehabilitation (i.e. customized exercise program for stretching and strengthening) & Lifestyle/Homecare program. Beneficial for self-management and long-term benefits.
Some people that come to us for our Headache and Migraine Program or our Back Pain Program have already had physiotherapy, massage therapy, chiropractic, and/or acupuncture and may have received them at different times or perhaps combined but from different facilities. Our healthcare team’s true collaborative approach ensures you are receiving one-on-one patient-focused treatment that maximizes your time while in the clinic and addresses the main causes of your issues without overlap or redundancy of care. Our expertise with headaches and back pain combined with our unique approach is the secret to our success.
We understand the issues pain sufferers face so we’ve ensured your initial visit can be scheduled the same day or at most within one business day.
For more information or to schedule your initial consultation you can visit the website or call the clinic directly.
