At Dr Pam Dawson Physiotherapy, we know that one size does not fit all when it comes to health and wellness.

As a physiotherapist, I believe that every client is unique and requires an individualized approach to their treatment. That's why I take the time to create a tailor-made treatment plan for each of my clients, based on their specific needs, goals, and lifestyle. By understanding the root cause of their condition, I can develop a plan that is tailored to their body and focuses on improving their overall health and wellbeing. My ultimate goal is to empower my clients to take control of their health and achieve long-term results.

How does ultrasound work?

Sound vibration increases movement of cells, which produces friction, which produces heat.

The heat is not easily perceived by the patient as it is deep within the bodily tissues. The heat produces dilation of blood vessels, which increases blood flow. The blood carries oxygen to the area, which fulfils 2 important functions: it breaks down muscle spasm and facilitates healing. Muscle spasm produces pressure on nerve tissue which produces pain. By reducing muscle spasm, the pain is reduced.

Muscle spasm also limits mobility, by reducing it, structures become more mobile and hence range of movement is increased.

Ultrasound is used on all peripheral joints, muscle injuries, neck spasm, all sport injuries…to mention but a few of the conditions that it assists healing in.

Dr Pam Dawson offers dry needling/acupuncture at her practice.
This is very effective in relieving chronic pain, headaches, sciatica etc.

Needles are applied, to trigger points (sensitive points which trigger pain), after these points have been disinfected.

This is in most cases a painless procedure.
The needles are left in for 10 to 12 minutes.

How this works: The needle creates an injury, which brings in an influx of blood, which carries oxygen. The oxygen deactivates the trigger point, which then stops triggering pain and other symptoms

I am one of few physiotherapists who uses traction at my practice.
Traction, I believe is very effective in reducing referred symptoms, such as neck referring pain and other symptoms, into the upper limb and lower back referring pain and other symptoms, into the lower limbs (sciatica).
Muscle spasm causes vertebral bodies to be pulled closer to each other than normal, discs bulge as a result, which places pressure on the nerve roots, giving rise to local and referred symptoms.
Traction gently eases soft tissue tension and muscle spasm, which reduces pressure from the discs, which go back to normal shape and size and stop placing pressure on nerve roots.
This then reduces local and referred symptoms.

Conditions which respond well to traction: neck disc lesions, sciatica, vertigo, headaches, chronic neck tension/spasm….to mention a few.
Mechanical traction is applied very gently, keeping weight within very safe limits. Maximum weight applied to neck is 5kgs and to lower back is approx. 25 kgs.
