Our Treatments

Osteoarthritis

  • Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, characterized by the degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone.
  • It typically affects weight-bearing joints such as the knees, hips, spine, and hands, leading to symptoms like pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion.
  • While there is no cure for osteoarthritis, management strategies such as exercise, weight control, pain medications, and physical therapy can help alleviate symptoms and improve joint function. In severe cases, surgical interventions like joint replacement may be necessary.
 

Herniated Discs

  • Herniated discs occur when the soft inner core of a spinal disc protrudes through the tough outer layer, often due to wear and tear or sudden injury.
  • This condition can lead to symptoms such as localized or radiating pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the affected area, typically in the neck or lower back.
  • Treatment for herniated discs often includes a combination of rest, pain management, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgery may be recommended to alleviate pressure on the nerves and restore function.
 

Rotator Cuff Tears

  • Rotator cuff tears are injuries to the group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint, commonly caused by repetitive overhead movements, traumatic injury, or degenerative changes.
  • Symptoms of a rotator cuff tear may include shoulder pain, weakness, limited range of motion, and difficulty performing overhead activities or lifting objects.
  • Treatment options for rotator cuff tears vary depending on the severity of the injury and may include rest, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, and in some cases, surgical repair to reattach the torn tendon to the bone. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for optimal recovery and restoring shoulder function.
 

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a common condition characterized by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist.
  • Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain in the hand and fingers, particularly the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
  • Treatment options for carpal tunnel syndrome range from conservative measures such as wrist splinting, activity modification, and corticosteroid injections to surgical release of the carpal tunnel in more severe cases. Early intervention can help alleviate symptoms and prevent long-term nerve damage.

Meniscus Tears

  • Meniscus tears are common knee injuries that involve damage to the cartilage discs located between the thighbone (femur) and shinbone (tibia).
  • These tears can occur due to sudden twisting movements, direct impact, or degenerative changes associated with aging.
  • Symptoms of a meniscus tear often include pain, swelling, stiffness, locking or catching sensation in the knee, and difficulty fully extending or flexing the joint. Treatment options may include rest, ice, physical therapy, and in some cases, arthroscopic surgery to repair or trim the torn meniscus and restore knee function. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are essential for optimal recovery and preventing further damage to the knee joint.
 

Spinal Stenosis

  • Spinal stenosis is a condition characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal, leading to compression of the spinal cord and/or nerve roots.
  • This narrowing can result from degenerative changes in the spine, such as bone spurs, herniated discs, or thickened ligaments, as well as congenital factors or spinal injuries.
  • Symptoms of spinal stenosis may include back pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and difficulty walking or maintaining balance. Treatment options range from conservative measures such as physical therapy, pain management, and epidural steroid injections to surgical interventions like decompression surgery to alleviate pressure on the affected nerves and restore mobility and function. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life for individuals with spinal stenosis.

Hip Replacement

  • Hip replacement, also known as total hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at replacing damaged or diseased hip joints with artificial implants.
  • This procedure is typically recommended for individuals suffering from severe hip pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility due to conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, or hip fractures.
  • Hip replacement surgery can effectively alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life for patients. Recovery usually involves a period of rehabilitation and physical therapy to regain strength and range of motion in the hip joint. With advancements in surgical techniques and prosthetic materials, hip replacement has become a common and successful procedure for restoring function and relieving pain in individuals with debilitating hip conditions.
 

Knee Replacement

  • Knee replacement, also known as total knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at replacing damaged or diseased knee joints with artificial implants.
  • This procedure is commonly recommended for individuals experiencing severe knee pain, stiffness, and impaired mobility due to conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, or knee deformities.
  • Knee replacement surgery can significantly reduce pain, improve joint function, and enhance overall quality of life for patients. Recovery typically involves a comprehensive rehabilitation program to strengthen the knee muscles, regain range of motion, and facilitate a return to daily activities. With advancements in surgical techniques and implant materials, knee replacement has become a highly successful and widely performed procedure for restoring mobility and relieving pain in individuals with debilitating knee conditions.
 

Sports Injuries

  • Sports injuries encompass a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries sustained during athletic activities, including sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, and overuse injuries.
  • These injuries can result from various factors such as improper training techniques, lack of conditioning, inadequate warm-up or stretching, biomechanical abnormalities, and contact with other players or equipment.
  • Treatment for sports injuries depends on the type and severity of the injury but may include rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE protocol), physical therapy, bracing, pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention. Proper prevention strategies, including appropriate warm-up routines, conditioning exercises, protective equipment, and adherence to safety guidelines, can help reduce the risk of sports-related injuries and promote long-term athletic performance and well-being.
