Osteoarthritis in knees, hips, and hands affects over 3 million Canadians, , with many seeking arthritis relief in Langley, hitting Langley desk workers and Aldergrove seniors hard—from morning rigidity after Highway 1 commutes to joint swelling that limits walks in Kraemer Park or gardening in backyards. Symptoms like grinding pain, reduced grip strength, and flare-ups with Fraser Valley’s damp weather worsen daily tasks, from carrying groceries to playing with grandkids, often leading to isolation or unnecessary pain meds.
Realign Chiro Physio & Rehab in Willowbrook provides comprehensive, non-invasive physiotherapy that goes beyond symptom relief to improve joint function, slow progression, and enhance quality of life. Our approach starts with a detailed assessment—gait analysis, joint imaging reviews, and functional tests—to pinpoint contributors like muscle weakness or poor posture from prolonged sitting.
Core Treatment Pillars
Gentle joint mobilizations restore natural glide, while aquatic-inspired exercises (dry land adaptations for accessibility) build strength without impact—think water walking simulations with resistance bands. Acupuncture and IMS dry needling target inflammation at nerve roots, complemented by heat therapy, TENS units, Class 4 laser, and customized orthotics for biomechanical fixes like flat feet common in the area. Patients with extended health, MSP top-ups, or chronic WSBC claims enjoy seamless direct billing, with many reporting 40-60% better daily mobility after 4-6 weeks and sustained gains at 3 months.
This multi-modal strategy aligns with Arthritis Society guidelines, emphasizing education for self-management.
- Custom Assessment (Session 1) – Gait analysis and range-of-motion tests pinpoint arthritis hotspots; start anytime without waitlists.
- Pain Relief Toolkit (Weeks 1-2) – Soft tissue massage, modalities like laser therapy, and TENS ease flare-ups quickly.
- Strength and Endurance Program (Weeks 3-6) – Low-impact cycles, resistance bands, and balance work (e.g., Tai Chi elements) build resilience without joint stress.
- Lifestyle Integration (Ongoing) – Nutrition tips (anti-inflammatory foods like salmon from local markets), workstation ergonomics for Langley offices, and community resources like Langley pool programs.
- Maintenance Phase (Monthly) – Tune-ups prevent regressions, empowering independent management with home kits.
