Treatments

Specialised care and treatments offered

TENDONITIS

Tendonitis

Tendonitis is characterized by inflammation of tendons—often resulting from overuse injuries caused by repetitive movements. Commonly affected areas include shoulders (rotator cuff), elbows (tennis elbow), knees (jumper's knee), and wrists (De Quervain's).

  • Main symptoms include localized pain that intensifies during activity along with tenderness upon touch around affected joints.
  • Diligent assessment through patient history review alongside physical examinations assists healthcare professionals in confirming this diagnosis effectively; ultrasounds may help visualize inflamed areas directly if needed
.

PLANTAR FASCIITIS

Plantar Fasciitis

This painful foot condition arises from inflammation of the plantar fascia tissue that connects heel bone to toes. Plantar fasciitis often manifests as stabbing pain near the heel when taking initial steps in the morning or after long periods of sitting down.

  • Main causes, including overuse from exercise or excessive weight, contribute greatly to its development.
  • A detailed medical history combined with physical examinations aids in diagnosing the issue accurately; imaging tests might assist further if necessary.
  • Treatment approaches focus on stretching exercises, orthotic supports for shoes, anti-inflammatory medications, or corticosteroid injections for persistent cases not responding to conservative care.

Coping mechanisms can greatly enhance comfort levels while minimizing disruption during everyday activities involving walking or standing for long periods.

KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS

Knee Osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that impacts millions of individuals worldwide. It leads to gradual wear-and-tear of cartilage in the knee joint, causing pain and stiffness.

  • Common symptoms include joint pain that worsens with activity, swelling around the knee, and a crunching feeling during movement.
  • A comprehensive assessment including physical exams and X-rays helps in diagnosing this condition accurately.
  • Treatment may involve lifestyle modifications, physical therapy, medications like NSAIDs, or possibly surgical options such as knee arthroscopy if conservative measures fail.
  • Persistent management strategies can significantly enhance quality of life for those affected by arthritis.

Approaching this condition holistically allows patients to maintain activity levels while managing pain effectively.

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition caused by pressure on the median nerve as it travels through the wrist. This can lead to numbness, tingling, and weakness in the affected hand.

  • Main symptoms include pain in the wrist that may radiate up the arm, tingling sensations in fingers, and difficulty with gripping objects.
  • A thorough clinical evaluation along with nerve conduction studies help confirm the diagnosis.
  • Treatment options may involve splinting, corticosteroid injections, or even surgery for severe cases affecting daily activities.
  • Pain relief and restoring function are primary goals during recovery after treatment.

Early intervention is key to managing symptoms effectively and preventing long-term complications.

ROTATOR CUFF TEAR

Rotator Cuff Tear

A rotator cuff tear is a common injury that occurs in the shoulder, often resulting from repetitive overhead motions or traumatic injuries. This condition can lead to significant discomfort and limited range of motion.

  • Symptoms may include pain, weakness in the shoulder, and difficulty lifting objects.
  • The diagnosis typically involves a physical examination and imaging tests such as MRI or ultrasound to assess the extent of the damage.
  • Treatment options range from physical therapy and medication to surgical intervention, depending on the severity of the tear.
  • Recovery can take several months, during which rehabilitation exercises will help regain strength and mobility.

Understanding this condition can empower individuals to seek appropriate treatment and improve their quality of life.
