Treatments
Specialised care and treatments offered
BURSITIS
Bursitis refers to inflammation of the bursae—small sacs filled with lubricating fluid that cushion joints. It commonly affects shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees due to overuse or injury.
- Symptoms: Symptoms usually include localized swelling, pain during movement or pressure around affected joints
PLANTAR FASCIITIS
This condition involves inflammation of the plantar fascia—the band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot. It's particularly common among runners and those who stand for long periods.
- Symptoms: The hallmark symptom is sharp heel pain, especially with the first steps in the morning or after sitting for prolonged periods.
- Causes: Excessive running, obesity, or improper footwear can contribute to its development.
- Diagnosis: Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination along with a review of medical history and activity levels.
- Treatment Options: Non-surgical treatments may consist of stretching exercises, orthotics for support, ice application, along with anti-inflammatory medications when necessary.
- What to Expect: Most individuals respond well to conservative treatment methods with gradual resolution of symptoms.
Early intervention often leads to successful outcomes without needing surgical options for plantar fasciitis management.
TENDINITIS
Tendinitis is the inflammation of a tendon that often results from repetitive motions or overuse. Understanding its management can help alleviate discomfort and restore function.
- Symptoms: Symptoms usually involve localized pain and tenderness around the affected joint.
- Causes: Commonly due to repetitive stress on tendons during sporting activities or occupational tasks.
- Diagnosis: Diagnosis can involve a clinical evaluation and imaging techniques such as ultrasound or MRI if needed.
- Treatment Options: Effective management includes rest, ice application, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy to strengthen surrounding muscles.
- What to Expect: With proper care, most patients experience significant improvement within weeks.
A proactive approach can help in preventing tendinitis from becoming a chronic issue through early recognition and intervention.
OSTEOARTHRITIS
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that primarily affects the cartilage, leading to pain and stiffness. It can significantly affect daily activities, but various management strategies are available.
- Symptoms: Common symptoms include joint pain, swelling, and reduced mobility.
- Causes: Weight, age, and previous joint injuries are major contributors.
- Diagnosis: Diagnosis is typically made through physical examinations and imaging tests.
- Treatment Options: Non-surgical treatments include physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and medications like NSAIDs.
- What to Expect: With consistent management, many individuals can lead an active life despite osteoarthritis.
A comprehensive approach focusing on both symptom relief and functional improvement is essential for managing osteoarthritis effectively.
