Understanding Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common reasons Canadians seek physiotherapy — and one of the most treatable. Whether you're dealing with a sudden injury, a nagging ache that won't go away, or recurring flare-ups, physiotherapy can identify the root cause and give you the tools to recover fully and prevent future episodes.
Back pain can originate from muscles, joints, discs, or nerves in the spine. It ranges from acute (sudden onset) to chronic (lasting more than 3 months). At Interlink Physiotherapy in Ancaster, we perform a thorough assessment to determine exactly what's driving your pain — whether it's a disc herniation pressing on a nerve, tight hip flexors creating lumbar strain, or a facet joint irritation from poor posture. Understanding the source is the first step to lasting relief.

Ankle Fracture Recovery
"I had my initial assessment with Dhiman Patel and it was excellent! He was meticulous and kind — pairing what I told him with what his assessment found. I left with exercises to do and an explanation of what the root of my pain was. Pleasantly, I have already found my pain decrease through the movement I was prescribed. I valued the education, empowerment, and optimism I received at this first visit. The space is very welcoming and clean."
