Family medicine is a specialty that focuses on all-encompassing primary care for patients of all ages. From newborns to seniors, your local family physician can provide acute and chronic care to the entire family. A local family physician often refers patients to other healthcare providers as needed, including local physiotherapists. If you have an injury or condition such as a ganglion cyst, hamstring pull, ankle sprain or meniscus tear, your local family physician may refer you to a local physiotherapist. The local physiotherapist can help you through techniques such as manual manipulation, spinal adjustment, exercise and rehab.
