About the Treatment

We are excited to collaborate with Dr. Alex Thomas (MD, CCFP (SEM), Dip. Sport Med.) at Acadia Sports Therapy! Dr. Thomas joins us in-clinic to support our physiotherapists with cases that benefit from multidisciplinary care involving sport medicine. He offers a range of medical services, including:

SERVICES

• Assessment and management of musculoskeletal conditions (muscle, bone, joint, tendon, and ligament), including acute injuries, overuse injuries, and chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis

• Ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal injections

• Corticosteroid (cortisone) injections

• Hyaluronic acid (HA) injections

• Ordering musculoskeletal imaging and prescribing medications when appropriate

• Sports pre-participation physical examinations

• Return-to-play assessments

If you are looking for a dedicated sport medicine physician consultation, Dr. Thomas is accepting referrals at his Valley Sport Medicine clinic, located at the Wolfville Professional Centre. A referral from a physician or nurse practitioner is required. Referral letters can be faxed to 902-442-9411, and this referral form may be used.
