What does a physiotherapist do?

A physiotherapist is a highly trained healthcare professional focused on optimizing your body's movement and function. They assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of physical conditions to help you reduce pain, recover from injuries, and improve overall physical abilities. Their treatment plans may involve hands-on techniques, personalized exercises, or specialized equipment.

What can I expect from my visit with the physiotherapist?

Your first appointment typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes for a thorough assessment, medical history discussion, diagnosis, and development of a personalized treatment plan. Follow-up sessions usually range from 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your specific needs and the therapies being performed.

Is physiotherapy covered by my insurance?

Physiotherapy services are commonly covered by most insurance plans. CARE Institute offers direct billing to many insurance companies to reduce out-of-pocket expenses. They also accept claims from Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Insurance and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (W.S.I.B.) for work-related injuries.

Depending on your needs, treatment could include specific therapies like shockwave therapy, spinal decompression, acupuncture, vestibular rehabilitation therapy for vertigo and more. We also provide braces and custom orthotics with professional assessments and personalized fittings.

What conditions can your treatments address?

Our treatments can address a wide variety of conditions, including: Acute and Chronic Pain (back, neck, joint, shoulder, and knee pain); Injuries (sports injuries, repetitive strain, motor vehicle accidents, and workplace injuries); Balance & Dizziness Issues (vertigo, imbalance, and concussion symptoms); and Chronic Conditions (osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia).

Do I need a referral to go to the clinic?

No, you do not need a referral to visit our clinics. You can directly call our clinic to book an appointment at your convenience. We believe in making access to care as straightforward as possible, allowing you to begin your journey to recovery without delay.
