Headaches can be a prevalent part of daily life. They can distract us from our regular activities as well as our work. Unfortunately we don't always know where to look for help. Well, Physiotherapists are trained to evaluate and determine the likely cause of your headaches.

Life and technology today makes us prone to spending extended time in poor postures. This can place undue stress on the body whether it is the upper back and surrounding muscles or the joints in your neck.

A physiotherapist can help locate the underlying cause, provide you with treatment to alleviate the symptoms as well as guide you in prevention/management of future headaches.

If you are suffering from headaches give us a call for an evaluation and allow us the opportunity to help you fix this problem, relieve your discomfort and get you back to feeling like you again!

Do you know these fun facts about shoulders?

1. There is no socket!
Joints like the hip have a really great, deep socket. The shoulder has no such socket. The ball of the arm bone instead moves against a basically flat surface on the shoulder blade. What a curious design!

2. The whole thing barely has any bony connection to the rest of the skeleton.
Think about the arm, the shoulder joint, the whole shoulder blade and all the surrounding tissue. That’s a heavy bunch of stuff. Well, how does it connect to the rest of the skeleton? It barely connects. The only bony connection is where it connects to the collarbone. That’s a tenuous, minimal bony connection to the rest of the skeleton.

3. It goes all over the place.
At least when it is healthy, your shoulder allows your arm to go all over the place. Your knee can’t go in so many directions, nor can your finger joints or ankle, nor can your hip.

4. Muscles matter even more for your shoulder.
Muscles are used around every joint in the body, but the shoulder is more dependent on muscles than any other joint. The relative lack of bony connection to the rest of the skeleton, the lack of a bony cup or socket, and the many directions of its movement mean that muscles have more critical jobs in this region.

If you are having problems with your shoulders, let our experienced staff help you alleviate the pain and discomfort. Call today for an appointment 905-684-4224, or you can book online at https://niagaraorthostc.janeapp.com/
