With over 30 years of experience we have treated certain conditions which patients would not automatically think could be helped by Physiotherapy. We have found many of these patients have not been able to get the help they need from traditional medical sources. Some of these conditions cannot be adequately treated by medication or surgery, so they find it difficult to find an appropriate, effective method of treatment.
Here at Cosgroves Physio Centre have seen the need and have risen to the occasion
Below are examples of some of the conditions we can treat and the modality of treatment we use:
BELL's PALSY
We use a combination of acupuncture and muscle stimulation to stimulate nerve and muscle recovery
END STAGE STROKE REHABILITATION
Individually tailored programs within the rehabilitation gym combined with physiotherapy treatment can help patients reach personal goals following strokes; focusing on muscle stiffness, spasticity, movement and balance and joint pains
FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER (FND)
We have successfully treated patients who have suffered with this condition
TENSION HEADACHES
Very often misdiagnosed as migraines, we treat these very successfully with acupuncture and manipulation, followed by postural protocol
THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME
Patients presenting with referred pain and numbness in the arm(s) can often be misdiagnosed as a neck disc problem when it can be thoracic outlet syndrome. When correctly diagnosed, this condition can be effectively treated with acupuncture, manipulation, mobilisation and postural control
TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA
We have had tremendous success treating this condition with a specific acupuncture protocol, preventing overmedication and surgery
VERTIGO
We use a combination of acupuncture, manipulation and the Epley/Sermont's method of treatment as appropriate
