Whether you're recovering from an acute sports injury, or an accident, Nanaimo's Departure Bay Physiotherapy Clinic treats any body in need of physiotherapy.

After performing an objective examination, and determining a proper diagnosis, treatment will include some of the following:

• Musculo Skeletal Manipulation

• Laser and/or ultrasound

• Deep soft tissue release

• Mechanical traction

• A personal exercise regime

Every treatment is one-on-one, hands-on. This ensures that the area of injury is both thoroughly diagnosed, and properly treated.

Musculo Skeletal Manipulation involves mobilising the joints surrounding the injury, especially in acute cases, as well as deep soft tissue release. Laser treatments focus on the fast healing of injured soft tissue. Ultrasound is used to stimulate muscles and works toward the strengthening of the injured area. Mechanical traction is used to alleviate pinched nerves and to aid in recovery. When combined with regular exercise, recovery is much quicker.
