Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) is a drug-free option to effectively treat symptoms of vertigo, dizziness, motion sensitivity and other balance disorders.

Common Vestibular Disorders We Treat:

BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo)

BPPV is the most common and easily treated of the vestibular disorders.  The vertigo most commonly occurs when you roll over in bed, look up, or bend over.  The vertigo usually lasts under a minute.

Labryrinthitis / vestibular neuritis: 

This infection causes inflammation of the vestibular nerve due to viral infection. The main symptom is an acute onset of prolonged severe vertigo that is exacerbated by head movement associated with nausea and imbalance.  If temporary or permanent hearing loss also occurs with the above symptoms then a diagnosis of labrynthitis is made.

Meiner’s Disease:

 Meiner’s Disease: a diagnosis of Meiner’s is given when several attacks are experienced which involve fullness of the ear, reduced hearing, tinnitus (ringing in the ear) vertigo, imbalance, and nausea and vomiting.  When there is no attack hearing will return, but possibly not to baseline.

How can we help you..

Dr. Manas Kumar has years of training in evaluating the causes your vertigo, he  and his team use most advanced manual therapy (Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, Osteopathy) techniques to minimize your symptoms, re-establish your dynamic stability, postural stability, and gaze stability to help you get back to normal day to day activities

None of us enjoy having a headache. But yet, headache is the third most common pain complaint worldwide. Not only are headaches common, they can also be very disabling, leading to a decreased quality of life.

Many people do not realize that Manual Therapy for headaches is one of the best, most effective treatments available today.

Following are the main categories of common headaches and their separate causes:

• Tension and cervicogenic headaches
• Migraine and cluster headaches
• Secondary headaches resulting from another underlying illness, such as sinus infection,  infectious disease, tumor or other serious illnesses.

Cervicogenic Headache

A cervicogenic headache is highly treatable in Manual Therapy. These headaches come from a neck problem and the pain is referred into the head.

Symptoms:

• Pain on one side of the head only
• Neck pain and dysfunction of neck mechanics.

Common locations

• Base of the skull,
• Behind the eye or in
• A line from the base of the skull toward the face or eye

Tension Type Headaches

Manual Therapy is the best medicine for tension type headaches.

Symptoms:

• Feel like a dull, aching pain
• Tightness across the forehead or sides/back of the head.
• Scalp, shoulder muscles and neck muscles are often tender to the touch.
• Commonly triggered by stress

Know your Headache

If you currently suffer from headaches, answer these questions to determine if Manual Therapy for your headache is appropriate.

1. Wake with a headache?
2. Get a headache after sitting for prolonged periods of time at your computer?
3. Note neck pain, stiffness or soreness along with your headache?
4. Grind or brush your teeth at night?
5. Feel tender or sore “knots” in the muscles of the neck, upper back and shoulders?
6. Note that your jaw/shoulders “clench” when under stress or with prolonged work?
7. Sit most of the day?
8. Your headache or migraine is one sided
9. Your headache is always one side but as it worsens it spreads to be on the other side as well

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then our manual therapy for headaches is a good choice for you.

If your headache or migraine is the result of head or neck trauma it is important and appropriate that you consult your doctor.

The foot and ankle are amazingly complex structures that take a huge amount of force with every step that you take. Your foot and ankle is made up of an astonishing 28 bones, 38 muscles, 25 joint complexes and 214 ligaments.  It is therefore not surprising that foot and ankle problems are common affecting 75% of people at some stage in their lives.

The ankle is made up of the bones of the lower leg (tibia and fibula) forming an arch over the talus bone in the foot. This is actually a flexible arch that opens slightly when bending the ankle and closes when extending it. If this does not occur properly or the mechanics of the joint are not in good alignment, increased painful pressure occurs.

How we can help you?

Our expert team have years of training in evaluating the movement of your foot, ankle and legs. We perform an analysis of your foot and ankle joints as well as the muscles in your legs. Furthermore, we analyze your walking and running patterns to determine the root cause of your foot pain or ankle pain so it can be treated quickly and effectively.

Some of the Common Conditions We Treat:

• Post-surgical foot and ankle care
• Ankle sprains and strains
• Foot pain
• Ankle pain
• Flat foot
• Achilles tendonitis

If you have sustained an injury to the foot and ankle or you would like some injury prevention advice call us to book an appointment.

Your surgeon has done a fine job in surgery repairing your damaged body. However, this doesn’t guarantee full success in your ability to return to normal activities. Prior to and after surgery, joint motion and muscle strength are lost quickly.

The purpose of pre- & post- operative rehabilitation is to provide a rapid recovery and optimal outcomes from surgery. Our therapists maintain close communication with the physician regarding the individual treatment plan and the scope of the patient’s needs.

Treatment frequency and duration will depend upon individual functional limitations, tissue healing, and specific protocols. Treatment plans will typically include:

• Modalities and Physical Agents to decrease pain and swelling
• Strengthening exercises
• Activity guidelines (do’s and don’ts) to both protect and optimize outcomes
• Return to sports/activities schedule to facilitate your understanding and participation for your goals
• A home exercise program that the patient can do independently by following written instructions from the therapist

Our post-surgical rehab program is ideal for:

• Knee, hip and shoulder joint replacements
• ACL, MCL, PCL and LCL tears of the knee
• Meniscus and arthroscopy surgery recovery
• Shoulder post-surgical recovery for rotator cuff tears, arthroscopy and more
• General rehabilitation after surgery

We are with you every step of the way. Call us today to learn how we can help you recover quickly from your surgery with empowering results.
