Manual therapy is a “hands-on” approach to physiotherapy involving the use of specific skills including mobilization, exercise and education to restore optimal motion and function, and to reduce pain.
Acupuncture is used in conjunction with manual therapy, exercise, and education to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions using fine needles inserted into specific points on the body. The therapeutic goals of acupuncture are to control pain, resolve inflammation, and assist in restoration of physical function.
Dizziness and balance problems affect 40 percent of people over the age of 40. Dizziness is the number one reason for physician visits by people over the age of 65. In many cases, the problem originates from the vestibular system, a part of the inner ear. Vestibular rehabilitation is an exercise-based and manual therapy approach to relieve the symptoms of vertigo and dizziness.
