Review of Back to Health Wellness Clinic

I have been a patient of Dr. Rodwin's for over 22 ...

I have been a patient of Dr. Rodwin's for over 22 years at Back to Health for various issues. My latest issue started in February of 2015. I hurt my right knee. I had a MRI and it was determined that I had a sprain, tear of my meniscus with some Osteoarthritis.
With my permission, Dr. Rodwin obtained a copy of my MRI results and started my treatment right away in March of 2015. My treatment included: the Interferential Current Therapy machine, Active Release Technique for scar tissue in the knee and adjustments to the foot, knee, hip and lower back {due to my compensation mechanisms) at a frequency of twice a week for a few weeks then 1 visit per week until I had an appointment with an Orthopedic Surgeon.
As it was taking a long time for me to get an appointment with the surgeon and I'm a daily dog walker, Dr Rodwin fitted me for a knee brace. It was suggested for my trips to Florida in the fall and Mexico in February, to purchase a good pair of water shoes when swimming in the pool and to wear the knee brace in the water as well. As I purchase yearly and wear orthotics daily {from Keri-Lyn Dudgeon at Back to Health Wellness Centre: she is very knowledgeable!}, I put my older orthotics in my water shoes. This really helped to stabilize my knee.
Here's my knee 16 months later. I had full right knee replacement June 15th (I waited 16 months). In 10 days my staples will be removed (the nurse counted 26), then I will start physiotherapy. I did see a physiotherapist at the Kemptville Hospital who gave me exercises to do while recouping. 7 different exercises starting with 10 repetitions graduation up to 20 repetitions.
Once I complete my physiotherapy I will be back at Back to Health for Dr. Rodwin to work her magic on any newly formed scar tissue to avoid future problems with my knee, to adjust my knee, foot, and hip and lower back!
I am one very, very happy patient of Back to Health. Dr. Rodwin is truly amazing. Keri-Lyn takes exceptional care of my feet. The registered massage therapists have successfully taken care of my other issues and I have just recently become a patient of Dr. Van Zeyl, Naturopathic Doctor. The team at Back to Health has truly been dedicated to my wellness over the years.
One stop health care.
