This can also lead to conditions such as tendonitis. Combined with physiotherapy, Easthill Physiotherapy & Acupuncture provides pain relief through a technique called Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS). IMS is an effective treatment with very few side effects. This needling technique relieves muscle tension, stimulates healing, and promotes normal joint mechanics.


Physiotherapy + Acupuncture

𝗔𝗖𝗨𝗣𝗨𝗑𝗖𝗧𝗨π—₯π—˜ - At Easthill Physiotherapy, we follow Chinese medicine and an Anatomical approach to acupuncture. Our acupuncture method stimulates the body to produce endorphins, natural pain-relieving chemicals. The improved energy and biochemical balance stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities, reduce inflammation, and promote physical health.

This can impact a person’s ability to change positions (such as lying down) or move about without imbalance and vertigo. Even moderate dizziness may be debilitating enough to diminish the quality of life, reduce employability, and complicate all aspects of life. The result can be economical and social devastation.

There are often secondary symptoms associated, as well, further reducing activity levels. Secondary symptoms may include decreased strength, loss of range of motion, and increased tension (particularly in the cervical and shoulder region), leading to muscle fatigue and headaches.

Our clinic and physiotherapists use a specialized form of therapy for vestibular rehabilitation designed to alleviate both primary and secondary symptoms of vestibular disorders.

Neurological rehabilitation is about helping people live with lifelong conditions that may have started at birth or that onset with age, such as Parkinson’s Disease or MS. Our rehabilitation services also include programs for spinal cord or traumatic brain injuries that help you manage and improve the quality of your life.

We don’t see it just as rehab, though. We see it as helping people live as normally as possible with any condition. And not just for adults, either. Our services and experience include helping children, too.

We are the only physiotherapy clinic in the Vernon area offering neurological physiotherapy for all ages. Our physiotherapists have particular interest and training in traumatic brain injury, MS, Parkinson’s, cerebral palsy, stroke, spinal cord injury and many other neurological conditions.

Additionally, we offer management, education, and treatment with pediatric populations such as torticollis and plagiocephaly. Any neurological consult with us includes a detailed assessment, patient-specific treatment plan, hands-on treatment and individual goal setting.
