Treatments
Specialised care and treatments offered
OSTEOTOMY
An osteotomy is a surgical procedure aimed at realigning bones that have grown incorrectly due to trauma or degenerative changes. This corrective surgery can be particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from osteoarthritis as it redistributes weight across load-bearing joints more favorably reducing pain during movement.
- Candidates: Ideal candidates usually present with persistent joint issues impacting daily activities despite conservative measures implemented beforehand.
- Evaluation Criteria: Comprehensive imaging studies allow surgeons insight into bone angles determining feasibility prior undertaking operations.
- Surgical Technique: During this operation portions of bone hinge opened up creating access points where necessary adjustments made then stabilized using screws/plates.
Following recovery protocols ensures gradual resumption everyday activities helping restore quality life integration again thereafter
MINIMALLY INVASIVE SPINE SURGERY
This advanced surgical technique focuses on correcting spinal disorders using small incisions rather than large openings typical of traditional surgery. Minimally invasive spine surgery is designed to reduce trauma while achieving desirable outcomes for conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis.
- Conditions Treated: Common scenarios include nerve compression resulting from disc herniation or spinal degeneration.
- Benefits: Advantages often cited include reduced recovery times compared with conventional methods along with minimized scarring.
- Procedure Details: The operation proceeds under general anesthesia utilizing specialized instruments guided by imaging technology.
- Postoperative Care: Patients typically require less hospitalization; immediate rehabilitation begins almost soon after discharge.
This technique has gained popularity due not only its effectiveness but also rapid recovery timeframe following surgery.
JOINT MOBILIZATION TECHNIQUES
Joint mobilization techniques are manual therapies used by orthopedic specialists to restore movement in stiff joints. These techniques involve applying gentle pressure to improve range of motion and relieve pain without causing additional trauma to the tissue involved.
- Situations for Use: Typically recommended for patients experiencing limited mobility due to injury or arthritis-related stiffness.
- Differential Diagnosis: Before initiating treatment, thorough assessments help determine if these techniques are appropriate based on individual needs.
- Treatment Objectives: Goals include easing discomfort while enhancing functional movement through targeted maneuvers tailored for each patient.
This therapeutic approach promotes self-healing by encouraging normal joint function over time while minimizing reliance on medications or surgeries
CORTICOSTEROID INJECTIONS
Corticosteroid injections are commonly employed to reduce inflammation in various musculoskeletal conditions. By delivering medication directly into the affected joint or tissue, this method effectively alleviates pain and swelling associated with arthritis, tendonitis, or bursitis.
- Symptoms Addressed: Patients often report chronic pain, stiffness, or swelling in their joints related to inflammatory conditions.
- How It's Administered: The injection process is quick and typically takes place in an outpatient setting without requiring extensive downtime.
- Efficacy: Relief from symptoms can be experienced within days and may last several weeks to months depending on individual response.
- Caution: While effective, it's essential to discuss potential side effects like increased blood sugar levels or joint damage if overused.
This approach enables patients to manage their conditions conservatively while maintaining an active lifestyle.
PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP) THERAPY
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is an innovative treatment that utilizes the body's own healing properties to treat musculoskeletal injuries. This therapy involves drawing a small amount of blood from the patient, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting it into the injured area to promote healing.
- Indications: Commonly treated conditions include tendonitis, ligament injuries, and osteoarthritis.
- Symptoms: Patients may experience persistent pain and inflammation in joints or tendons.
- Treatment Process: The procedure is performed in an office setting with minimal discomfort and often requires no anesthesia.
- Efficacy: Some studies suggest that PRP can accelerate healing time and improve function in affected areas.
This therapy is well-tolerated and offers patients a natural alternative to surgical interventions.
ARTHROSCOPY
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used for diagnosing and treating joint issues. This approach involves inserting a small camera, or arthroscope, into the joint through tiny incisions. It provides orthopedic surgeons with a clear view of the damaged areas, allowing for precise treatment without the need for major surgery.
- Symptoms: Patients often experience pain, swelling, and restricted movement in the affected joint.
- Diagnosis: Conditions are typically diagnosed through physical examinations and imaging tests like MRI before considering arthroscopy.
- Treatment Options: Besides diagnosis, it allows for procedures such as repair of torn ligaments, removal of loose fragments, and smoothing cartilage surfaces.
- Recovery: Post-procedure recovery usually includes physical therapy to restore strength and mobility.
The use of arthroscopy can significantly reduce recovery time compared to traditional open surgeries.
