A local physiotherapist is a wellness provider that uses a variety of non-invasive techniques to treat patients. A local physiotherapist may use spinal adjustment, manual adjustment, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, musculoskeletal ultrasound and breathing exercises. Many patients who are recovering from a sports injury or surgery work with a local physiotherapist during the recovery process. Patients with chronic diseases such as osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, cancer, arthritis and diabetes often work with a local physiotherapist to help them manage their condition. Whether you have low back pain or are pregnant, your local family physician can refer you to a local physiotherapist.
