We specialize in custom-made, rigid plastic splints to assist in recovering from injuries of the hand & upper extremities, including repetitive strain and post-operative care. The type of splint is best determined after an assessment with your hand therapist as typically there's several options. The cost of the splint varies according to the type. We can only fabricate 1 splint (i.e. on the right OR left upper extremity) per single appointment time slot. We can schedule back to back appointments if you require splints for both hands.

The majority of individuals with TMD also suffer from neck pain, hence the importance of the neck examination. Treatment involves a strong emphasis on education. Following the initial examination, the client is provided with an anatomy lesson of the involved muscles and joints, the mechanics of jaw movements, and advice on methods to reduce strain to the jaw and neck. Other components of treatment may include self-manual therapy, self-massage techniques, soft tissue stretching and active exercise prescription.

Vestibular rehabilitation is an exercise-based therapy program used to treat problems associated with balance, vertigo and dizziness. Specifically, it works with the parts of the brain that process balance information. A vestibular assessment will involve filling out a questionnaire, discussing the history of your condition in detail, and a series of head positioning tests, vision tests and balance tests specific to your condition. Treatment may involve self-manual techniques along with balance, vision and coordination exercises. Please note that the assessment and treatment of vestibular problems may provoke some of your symptoms. For this reason it is recommended that you have someone with you in the room during your treatment.
