Practical guides from our physiotherapists
Plain explanations of the conditions we see most often in northwest Edmonton, written by the people who treat them.
These guides answer the questions people bring to our clinic every week: why a heel hurts on the first steps of the morning, what a sore hip or shoulder is telling you, how to handle a sports injury in the first few days, and when dizziness is something physiotherapy can help with. Each one explains what is common, what an assessment looks for, how treatment usually works and which warning signs mean you should see a doctor instead.
These guides are general information, not a diagnosis. If something here sounds like you, a one-on-one assessment at Coronation Physiotherapy in northwest Edmonton is the way to find out what is going on. No doctor referral is needed in Alberta.
