What is orthopaedic medicine?
Orthopaedic medicine includes non-surgical treatments for conditions such as back ache, neck pain, sports injuries, and early osteoarthritis of the hip or knee joint.
Our sports exercise medicine and musculoskeletal (MSK) physicians are experienced in diagnosing and treating problems with muscles, bones, and joints. They focus on helping you return to normal activity, whether sporting or occupation.
There are a wide variety of treatments available at 米兰体育 and Basinghall Clinic to help prevent and manage pain, including:
- Manipulation – a type of manual therapy where your muscles are massaged to get rid of any knots or knits which are causing you pain. This method is useful for lower back pain, neck pain, and sports injuries and may be combined with ultrasound treatment or acupuncture.
- Injections – normally steroids, which reduce swelling at the source of the pain. Injections are normally used to treat joint pain and back pain.
- Posture correction – training on how to stand, walk, and sit properly in order to prevent strain on your muscles and ligaments. This method is also suitable for reducing pain in the neck and back.
- Exercise – a series of focused, personalised exercises to help you manage pain in the relevant area.
- Arthrosamid injection – an innovative hydrogel injection that provides long-lasting relief from the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis in just one treatment.
- PRP therapy – involves injecting naturally occurring stem cells and platelets found in the blood directly into the site of injury, to encourage healing and restoration of the injured area.
