Frequently Asked Questions

During your first appointment, we’re going to evaluate your range of motion and overall function, thoroughly examining your spine, pelvis, and the surrounding musculature. We’ll also review your medical history and conduct the clinical tests we need to identify the underlying cause of your pain. At the same time, we’ll apply the right techniques to give you some instant pain relief. By the end of your assessment, you’ll have answers to all your questions, a better understanding of your issue and the recovery process, as well as a personalized treatment plan mapped out specifically for your condition. 

What happens on my first visit?

Do you directly bill my insurance company for me?

In most cases, we directly bill your health insurance provider allowing you to fully focus on your recovery instead of stressing about paperwork. Our friendly front desk staff will be happy to help you make the most out of your coverage and benefits so you can get the treatment you need while paying as little out of pocket as possible (if anything).

What should I wear?

We recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for easier skin, joint, and muscle exposure. This will allow your therapist to thoroughly assess and treat affected body areas. For sciatic nerve pain, we recommend wearing shorts or comfortable, loose-fitting pants that can be easily rolled up.

What happens if I'm not covered?

Some patients may have to pay out of pocket for therapy. Physiotherapy fees paid directly by patients are tax-free and qualify as a medical expense for income tax purposes. Insured or not, we’ll work with you to make your therapy accessible and affordable with a flexible payment plan that fits your budget. With us, you get only the therapy you need to reach full recovery. At the same time, we also show you how to supplement your in-clinic care with a self-managed home care program specifically designed for you.

Combat Sciatic Nerve Pain and Get Back to Enjoying Life

Extensive Pain and Condition Assessment

Before making any therapy suggestions, we thoroughly examine your body and range of motion to uncover the real source of your sciatic nerve pain. We answer all your questions and concerns and apply the right techniques for immediate pain relief. You’ll know which movements are safe to do, what to avoid, and how we can put you on the right track to recovery. 

Effective Self-Help Strategies for Pain Management

To help you keep moving and feeling better, we arm you with proper self-care education, practical tips, and a personal exercise regime to make pain management as effective as possible. That way, you can avoid future pain reoccurrence, stay in control of your well-being, and proactively improve your health and quality of life after therapy is over.

Hands-on Therapy for Successful Recovery 

Your physiotherapist will develop a holistic treatment program, combining the most effective techniques for acute and chronic pain relief. We’ll work with you one-on-one to relieve tension, reduce inflammation, and minimize nerve irritation. We’ll also help you strengthen and realign your spine to improve your functional mobility and range of motion.

Compassionate Care for a Healthier You

How many treatments do I need?

The number of treatments you need will depend on your condition, the severity of your impairment, and your past medical history. Everyone responds differently to their type of treatment, but you will know what we recommend for the best, long-lasting results from your very first visit. 

If you’re planning to have an insurance-covered treatment, please bring your insurance information, including your doctor’s note (if you have one). Remember to take with you any medical imaging test results you’ve done and to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.

What should I bring anything with me?

Burning, radiating, or tingling pain down the leg, ankle, calf, or toes

Whether your pain is triggered by a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, and degenerative changes in the spine (sciatica) or by muscle imbalances, ligament weaknesses, and inflammation of the piriformis muscle in your gluteal area (pseudo-sciatica), we can help.
