Orthotics Services

Back In Balance Health Centre offers a unique service that is hands on. The first-time appointment allows the practitioner to obtain informed consent, assess the client’s medical history and ask several questions to understand the various factors contributing to the presenting problem. This is followed by a whole-body assessment, and report of findings, a discussion with the client and provide a treatment plan. Treatment is tailored to the client’s individual needs. We listen attentively to clients as we analyze movement, postural faults, structural alignment, gait, muscular imbalance, muscle strength, joint mobility and soft tissue integrity. There is generally some time for treatment on the first initial visit addressing your area of main complaint. As time permits, other surrounding involved areas or contributing factors may also be addressed.

Follow-up visits can be 30, 45, or 60 mins in length. This is determined by the severity of the problem at hand, the number of areas to be treated or simply the amount of time you request. Some client’s feel much relief after one or two visits. More comprehensive treatment sessions may require 3-8 sessions,
depending on how many areas of the body is affected. Each follow-up visit will start with a few minutes assessing how you responded to your last visit before starting the treatment. Once health is established you may only need to re-visit once a month for maintenance.
The key to our success is understanding the underlying causes of skeletal/muscular conditions and health teaching our clients proper posture and changes to consider in their lifestyle. Whether your needs are the result of injury, disease or congenital, Manual Osteopathic therapy can help.
