Introduction to Arthritis

Physiotherapy in Orleans for Arthritis

Welcome to the Orleans Physiotherapy’s resource about arthritis.

Arthritis is one condition that can be incredibly debilitating to a sufferer of this disease.  Arthritis can cause pain, inflammation, stiffness, limitation of movement, and can keep you from fully enjoying your life.

However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

This section of our site is designed with you, the Arthritis sufferer in mind.  We want to be a resource for you, to provide you with the information and assistance you need in order to take control of your condition and let Arthritis know just who exactly is the boss.

There is no reason you shouldn't be able to do all of the activities that you love to do, whether it is dance, play a sport, lift your children or your grandchildren, or simply sit at the computer and update your Facebook status.  

Arthritis doesn't have to kill your fun and if you work with us, we won't let it.

 I have been going to Orleans Physiotherapy for a number of years now, and they are amazing. Everyone at the clinic is so welcoming and professional. I have fibromyalgia and arthritis and Clifton Charie has been treating me with auricular acupuncture. I was on pain killers, and anti inflammatory medicines which weren’t really working well. The constant pain was so debilitating, and discouraging. The acupuncture has helped me so much. I have and will continue to highly recommend people to check it out. I have my life back, and it’s wonderful! Thank you so much!

 I was referred for physio because of arthritis in my knee. I had pain and difficulty walking. Even through this pandemic, I had a prompt phone call from Clifton and he sent me a series of exercises that would help...and it did. After 2 weeks of exercises, I am pain free and can go back to my usual activities and exercises. This was a free service. In previous years, both my husband and I did require services from Orleans Physiotherapy and we were always very pleased and our issues were resolved.

 I was treated mostly by Clint for lower back pain issues. I herniated 2 discs about 40 years ago and have been living with various degrees of pain during that time. I consulted with Orleans Physiotherapy after a move since I felt that the pain I was experiencing was much more than I normally experience. After just a couple of sessions, I noticed a huge improvement. I continued with the treatments and prescribed exercises for about 4 months. The pain is not fully gone but much more tolerable. I would imagine that at age 62, part of the reason for the pain is due to a certain amount of arthritis and that I must continue to stay active and exercise regularly. This is the best physiotherapy clinic I’ve been to and can highly recommend their services. The staff is always happy to see you and they have a great sense of humour as well. Keep up the great work and thanks for everything guys!

 I have seen Clifton Charie for hand osteoarthritis. After only two treatments using auricular therapy I started to see a lot of relief from stiffness and pain in my hands. Very grateful for the availability of this treatment as he is one of a very few offering this treatment in Ottawa. Nothing but positive things to say. Additionally I am always seen on time, I have never waited to see him. Very very satisfied!
