Treatments
Specialised care and treatments offered
TENDON REPAIR
Tendon repair addresses injuries where tendons are torn or ruptured due to accidents or repetitive strain. These repairs aim not only to restore function but also prevent chronic issues affecting movement long-term.
- Symptoms : Patients might exhibit weakness in muscle strength along with acute pain at the injury site.
- Diagnosis : Medical professionals will conduct physical examinations alongside imaging studies like MRIs for precise analysis of tendon integrity.
- Treatment Options : Repairing torn tendons typically involves suturing them back together using advanced techniques that align fibers properly promoting healing efficiently .
With successful repair outcomes , many patients regain full functional capacity returning them back frequently engaged activities they enjoy .
MINIMALLY INVASIVE SPINE SURGERY
This modern technique transforms traditional spine surgery into a more efficient process. Minimally invasive spine surgery entails using smaller incisions that lead to less muscle damage and quicker recovery times compared to conventional methods.
- Candidates: Ideal candidates often suffer from herniated discs or spinal stenosis that impede daily life due to chronic pain or mobility issues.
- Diagnosis : A physician usually recommends imaging studies such as X-rays or MRIs before deciding on this surgery option.
- Treatment Process : The surgeon accesses the spine through small incisions while using endoscopic techniques or specialized tools for intervention.
- Recovery Expectations : Many patients can return home the same day as their surgery with a reduced need for extended hospital stays.
This innovative approach emphasizes quality care with fewer complications than traditional spinal surgeries.
OSTEOPOROSIS MANAGEMENT
Managing osteoporosis is crucial for preventing fractures and maintaining bone health. Osteoporosis weakens bones over time, making them more susceptible to breaks even from minor falls or bumps.
- Risk Factors: Common risk factors include aging, hormonal changes post-menopause, and certain medications that affect bone density.
- Diagnosis: A DEXA scan is often employed to assess bone mineral density accurately when osteoporosis is suspected.
- Treatment Options: Management may involve lifestyle changes like diet modification, weight-bearing exercises, calcium supplements, and medications specifically designed to strengthen bones.
A comprehensive management plan is essential for those diagnosed with osteoporosis to maintain an active lifestyle while minimizing fracture risks.
TRIGGER FINGER RELEASE
Trigger finger release is a simple yet effective procedure designed to alleviate the gripping sensation experienced by individuals suffering from trigger finger. This condition occurs when inflammation restricts tendon movement in the fingers.
- Symptoms: Symptoms include a locking or catching sensation during finger movement and discomfort at the base of the affected finger.
- Diagnosis: A healthcare professional can typically diagnose this condition through a physical examination and patient symptom reports.
- Treatment Options: The release involves making a small incision at the base of the finger to relieve pressure on the tendon sheath.
- Post-Operative Care: Most patients find relief shortly after surgery and can resume normal activities within days.
This outpatient procedure helps restore full mobility without extensive recovery time.
PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP) THERAPY
PRP therapy is an innovative treatment option that utilizes components of your own blood to promote healing in injured tissues. It has gained popularity for its effectiveness in treating various musculoskeletal injuries.
- Causes: Chronic tendinitis and ligament injuries are common reasons patients seek PRP therapy.
- Diagnosis: A thorough physical examination and medical history will help determine eligibility for this treatment.
- Treatment Procedure: Blood is drawn, processed to concentrate platelets, and then injected into the affected area to stimulate healing.
- Expected Outcomes: Patients often report significant pain reduction and enhanced function within weeks following treatment.
This advanced therapy offers a natural approach to healing without surgery.
ARTHROSCOPY
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to visualize, diagnose, and treat joint issues. This technique allows surgeons to perform procedures with small incisions, leading to quicker recovery and less pain.
- Symptoms: Patients may experience joint pain, swelling, or stiffness.
- Diagnosis: Physicians use imaging tests such as MRIs in conjunction with arthroscopy for accurate assessment.
- Treatment Options: During the procedure, the surgeon can repair cartilage tears, remove loose fragments, or address other joint concerns.
- Recovery: Post-surgery, patients can expect pain relief and improved mobility within weeks.
This procedure not only alleviates symptoms but also enhances overall joint function.
