You likely don’t need one.

What is ALS?

ALS, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, is a neurodegenerative disease also known as Motor Neuron Disease (MND) or Lou Gehrig’s disease. It targets motor neurons, crucial for transmitting messages to voluntary muscles like arms and legs. While 90% of cases arise sporadically, 5-10% are inherited. Approximately 6-8 out of every 100,000 people are diagnosed with ALS.

Physiotherapists support ALS patients with treatments and equipment for comfort, breathing, mobility, and communication. In collaboration with a multidisciplinary team, including ALS Clinic experts, they help guide decisions on interventions and equipment, ensuring tailored care to enhance quality of life amidst the challenges of the disease.

Visit the ALS society of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia website at https://alsnbns.ca/en/ for more information, resources and descriptions of their services offered including support groups and the equipment loan program.

This!

Do you have to use your insurance company’s preferred provider?

Patients possess the inherent right to choose their healthcare providers, notably in physiotherapy. While Preferred Provider Networks (PPNs) may recommend specific clinics, patients maintain autonomy in their selection.

This choice is crucial, as research highlights the importance of trust and positive patient-provider relationships in achieving optimal outcomes. Whether based on familiarity, convenience, or recommendations, patients should feel empowered to select providers aligned with their preferences.

Physiotherapists are obligated to disclose any involvement in PPNs, ensuring transparency and enabling patients to make informed decisions. Prioritizing patient choice fosters a collaborative and effective approach to healthcare.
