As such, we require 24 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Client’s who provide less than 24 hours notice or miss their appointment will be charged a no show/cancellation fee.

There is a lot of overlap between physiotherapy and chiropractic, the only difference being that chiropractic can also include joint manipulations (adjustments) if needed. Most people think of physiotherapy as more for muscles and soft tissue, and chiropractic as more for bones and joints. However, both physiotherapists and chiropractors can treat either. Here at MediOne Physio & Rehab, our Chiropractors practice with an evidence-based medical approach specialized with hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat various musculoskeletal conditions.
Both disciplines may also use: electrotherapy, ultrasound, acupuncture, shockwave, laser and other modalities.

Our Acupuncture practitioners use a painless insertion technique, with a two hand contact, providing comfort and control at all times. Modern acupuncture needles are very thin, stainless steel, sterile, and single use. They are solid with a round tip that gently parts tissues without damaging them. Discomfort during this process is minimal.
At times, a special electrical device is used to improve the effects of the treatment. This electrical stimulation is quite comfortable. Some treatments may include other modalities that may be of benefit for healing.
