Radiologist

• MRI
  Given his complaints they may have started with an XRay, which may have not shown the issue as it is subtle in this medium. A shot of steroids or prescribed prednisone or NSAIDs. Next a nerve conduction study or images of the neck. If no improvement then we progress on to an MRI. All this would be scheduled over 2 weeks to a month.

Surgeons

• Hip Replacement
  We, at BritPt Wellness Solutions are here to help you get ready for your element, whatever that looks like. For some it's their PR as they run, bike and swim hard to the finish line, for others it's being able to get to the floor to receive a sticky kiss from their new grandchild. We particularly love to help our patients reach a goal that they thought was no longer an option for them: Hiking Hanging Rock with the family after thinking they were on a time line to a hip replacement, or getting back to bowling after a torn meniscus, avoiding a cervical (neck) decompression or fusion. These are everyday stories at BritPT.

Physical Therapists

• Physical Therapy
  In conclusion, Physiotherapy evaluation and treatment is a “hands-on” approach to musculoskeletal health (the equivalent degree in the USA is Physical Therapy). All joints and soft tissue can be addressed with these methods: the spine, fingers, toes and everything in between! There is a significant emphasis on manual techniques during the sessions and patients comment that the evaluations feel very thorough for this reason. The patient’s symptoms are usually reproduced in the evaluation in order to isolate specific structures or movements that are causing problems. The more closely these can be pinpointed, the quicker results will be. The exercises associated with physical therapy are prescribed in order to support changes made during the sessions.
• Manual Therapy
  Dry needling allows us ACCESS to areas deep in the muscle which cannot be treated by any other manual therapy applied to the surface, no matter how much pressure is used. Simply put, it traverses layers of tissue and can travel right to the root of the issue. This is a huge benefit to those clients with multiple level spinal fusions who continue to have pain. We have often been able to help with that issue.
