Ive had a great experience here with the health program and working with the NP. They went through a transition phase and handled it so well and make sure I was taken care of through the whole thing. They have been quick to respond and get me appointments. 100% recommend.
Dr. Christine Rad assessed me then put me on a stretching and exercise routine that had me back on my feet in no time.
I was very impressed with her knowledge of the anatomy. But the handiest thing had to be the app, which demonstrates each exercise using a video.
Excellent medical clinic. Dedicated, knowledgeable staff who are focused on their patients’ health, well-being and improved quality of life.
A renowned 6-week non-invasive program for spinal stenosis to help regain lost function and prevent deterioration.
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is one of the most common causes of pain, disability and loss of independence in older adults. It is typically caused by degenerative arthritis in your lower back. This condition occurs when the spinal canals or the vertebral foramina become narrowed, leading to compression of the spinal cord or spinal nerves that supply your lower back and legs. Lumbar spinal stenosis can bring on progressive pain and limited mobility which makes walking very difficult, especially for longer distances.
Compression of the spinal nerves can cause pain, burning, numbness, tingling and weakness of the legs, buttock and lower back. Symptoms can limit your ability to stand or walk for long periods of time, which significantly impacts your quality of life.
Only 4% of people with LSS meet the minimum daily requirement of physical activity. Limited walking leads to a sedentary lifestyle and increased risk for several comorbidities.
The Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Boot Camp is a brainchild of Dr. Carlo Ammendolia, a world-renowned researcher whose focus is the non-surgical approach to degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. This Boot Camp is one of the few research-supported approaches to help overcome the symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis.
The Boot Camp was initially offered at Toronto Mount Sinai Hospital. This concept went on to gain immense popularity among professionals and patients seeking non-invasive interventions for lumbar spinal stenosis. We now offer the Boot Camp at Ottawa Health: Performance and Rehabilitation.
The boot camp relies on prescribed physical activity and specialized physical mobilizations to improve mobility in patients who find it nearly impossible to be on their feet. Clinical trials show that the Boot Camp program for LSS is effective for improving walking ability, reducing pain and improving overall function both in the short and long-term:
Besides offering hands-on care, our team empowers patients to take greater control of their condition by providing relevant information and advising on self-management strategies.

Spinal decompression is a therapy designed to relieve pressure on the spinal discs, which can become compressed due to conditions like lumbar spinal stenosis. We use a custom-made spinal decompression table to gently stretch the spine, creating space between the vertebrae. This relieves nerve pressure, reduces pain, and promotes healing by improving blood flow to the affected areas. It’s particularly effective when combined with other treatments like chiropractic adjustments and mobilization techniques.
Yes, spinal decompression is generally considered safe for most patients when performed by trained professionals. At Ottawa Health: Performance and Rehabilitation, spinal decompression is part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy to ensure that it is both effective and safe. Some mild discomfort may occur initially, but the therapy is non-invasive and designed to be gentle on the body.
