Numbness
Numbness is characterized by a lack of sensation in specific body parts, often accompanied by tingling or a “pins and needles” sensation. It can result from conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, nerve compression, or circulation issues.
Prevalence: Numbness can affect individuals of all ages, with the prevalence varying depending on the underlying cause. For example, peripheral neuropathy is estimated to affect 2-7% of the general population, with higher prevalence in older age groups.
Signs and Symptoms: Numbness is often associated with tingling sensations, and it may progress to a complete loss of sensation in the affected areas. It can impact daily activities and may be indicative of nerve-related issues.
Complication: Untreated numbness may lead to functional impairments and reduce the individual’s quality of life. Additionally, it is crucial to address the underlying cause to prevent potential complications related to nerve damage.
Service and Treatment: Our physiotherapy clinic conducts thorough assessments to identify the root cause of numbness. Treatment plans may include targeted exercises, manual therapy, and nerve mobilization techniques, with the goal of alleviating numbness and improving sensory function.
Stroke Rehabilitation
Stroke survivors may experience a range of symptoms, including motor deficits, balance issues, and difficulty in performing daily activities.
Prevalence: Stroke is a significant health concern, with an estimated 15 million people worldwide experiencing a stroke each year. Rehabilitation needs vary based on the severity of the stroke and individual factors.
Signs and Symptoms: Symptoms vary but often include muscle weakness, loss of coordination, and challenges in balance and mobility.
Complication: Lack of rehabilitation can lead to persistent functional limitations, reduced quality of life, and potential long-term disability.
Service and Treatment: Our specialized stroke rehabilitation programs focus on enhancing motor skills, balance, and overall quality of life through evidence-based exercises and therapies.
Neck Pain
Neck pain manifests as discomfort, stiffness, and reduced range of motion in the cervical spine. It can result from muscle imbalances, poor posture, or injuries.
Prevalence: Neck pain is prevalent across all age groups, with lifetime prevalence estimates ranging from 30-50%. It is more common in women than in men.
Signs and Symptoms: Pain can be dull or sharp, with accompanying muscle tightness. Individuals may experience headaches, difficulty turning the head, and discomfort during prolonged sitting.
Complication: Untreated neck pain can lead to chronic issues, affecting daily activities and potentially contributing to headaches and shoulder pain.
Service and Treatment: Our physiotherapy team takes a meticulous approach, addressing the root causes of neck pain through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and posture correction.
Herniated Disc / HNP
Herniated discs result in back pain, often accompanied by radiating pain, numbness, or tingling in the extremities.
Prevalence: Herniated discs are relatively common, particularly in older age groups. Studies suggest that around 1-5% of the population may be affected by symptomatic herniated discs.
Signs and Symptoms: Pain can be sharp or throbbing, with additional symptoms like muscle weakness and changes in reflexes. Symptoms may worsen with certain movements.
Complication: Left untreated, a herniated disc can lead to persistent pain, nerve damage, and potential long-term disability.
Service and Treatment: Our physiotherapists employ proven techniques, including targeted exercises and manual therapy, to manage symptoms effectively. Our approach aims at relieving pain and enhancing spinal health.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis causes sharp heel pain, especially during the first steps in the morning. It often involves inflammation of the tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes.
Prevalence: Plantar fasciitis is a common foot condition, affecting around 10% of the population. It is more prevalent in individuals aged 40-60 and is slightly more common in women than men.
Signs and Symptoms: Pain is sharp and stabbing, concentrated in the heel. Discomfort may increase after prolonged standing or walking.
Complication: Without intervention, plantar fasciitis can become chronic, leading to persistent pain and potential alterations in walking patterns.
Service and Treatment: Our physiotherapy services target plantar fasciitis with stretching exercises, manual therapy with cutting edge technology, and biomechanical assessments. Our goal is not only pain relief but also the prevention of recurrence.
Knee Pain
Knee pain presents as discomfort, swelling, and difficulty bearing weight on the affected knee. It can result from injuries, overexertion, or degenerative conditions.
Prevalence:
Knee pain is widespread and affects people of all ages. According to estimates, about 25% of adults experience knee pain, with prevalence increasing with age.
Signs and Symptoms:
The pain may be sharp or dull, accompanied by swelling and instability. Stiffness and difficulty in bending or straightening the knee are common symptoms.
Complication:
Untreated knee pain can lead to worsening joint damage, reduced mobility, and the development of chronic conditions like osteoarthritis.
Service and Treatment:
Our physiotherapy clinic specializes in comprehensive rehabilitation programs, addressing the underlying causes of knee pain through targeted exercises, joint mobilization, and evidence-based therapies.
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can arise from various causes, and identifying the underlying issue is crucial for effective treatment.
Low Back Pain
Low back pain can have various causes, often resulting from a combination of factors. We can develop an effective treatment plan, which may include physical therapy, exercise, medications, lifestyle modifications to solve the root causes.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy is a safe and effective non-invasive treatment modality that utilizes high-frequency sound waves to promote healing and alleviate pain in various musculoskeletal conditions.
Dry Needle Therapy
Dry needling is a therapeutic technique that involves inserting thin needles into the skin and underlying tissues, specifically targeting trigger points, muscle knots, or areas of tightness. Despite its similarity in technique to acupuncture, dry needling focuses on releasing tension in muscles and soft tissues rather than balancing energy flow, as in traditional Chinese medicine.
