Conditions our Kin Team Can Treat...

Our registered Kinesiologists at Spark Rehabilitation Services have experience working with non-acute musculoskeletal conditions, including:

  • Chronic Pain

    Chronic pain is defined as pain that lasts at least 12 weeks. The pain may feel sharp or dull, causing a burning or aching sensation in the affected areas. It may be steady or intermittent, coming and going without any apparent reason. Chronic pain can occur in nearly any part of your body, and severity and frequency of chronic pain can differ among individuals.  

  • Back Pain

    Low Back Pain (LBP) is quite common. Roughly 80% of individuals will experience a significant episode of low back pain at least once in their lives.  The majority of people will recover completely in less than 6 weeks with appropriate care and exercises. Some patients may require more intensive forms of therapy such as spinal mobilization and manipulation. 

  • Golfer’s Elbow

    Golfer’s Elbow (medial epicondylitis) is a common strain injuries caused by overuse of forearm muscles through repetitive actions. The pain and symptoms are a result of injury and/or inflammation to the tendon that attaches to the inner part of the elbow bone. Common symptoms include tenderness on the outside (tennis elbow) or inside (golfer’s elbow) of the elbow and pain with gripping, pushing, pulling or carrying objects with your hand/wrist.

  • Dupuytren’s Contracture

    Dupuytren’s Contracture (DC) is hand deformity that usually develops throughout the course of many years. As the condition progresses, the skin on your palm might appear puckered or dimpled in certain areas. Typically, a firm lump of tissue can form on your palm. The lump may be sensitive to the touch. Over time, cords of fibrotic tissue can form and tighten under the skin on your palm and can spread up and into your fingers. As these cords thicken and tighten, your fingers may be bent/pulled toward your palm. The affected fingers cannot be straightened completely, which can complicate everyday activities such as placing your hands in your pockets, putting on gloves or shaking hands. DC can affect any finger, but most often the ring pinky, and middle fingers are affected. DC can affect one or more fingers at a time.
