25.01.2022 During closures of our gyms and sports, it is important to stay fit and healthy both mentally and physically. To ensure your health and safety in the coming mon...ths, we strongly urge everyone to look at your diet, fitness levels, and ensure any medical risk factors are well controlled. At SPARC we routinely do this in the pre-season for our athletes, however this is now vital for all. Reducing risk factors and optimizing your chances for staying healthy and safe for both you and your loved ones. We can help with not just sprains, dislocations, and fractures, but also help navigate safely through these difficult times. With COVID-19 overwhelming our hospitals, it is doubly important to look at preventive health, and we can all get through this together by working to unburden the emergency rooms by seeing us for any of your non life-threatening injuries. For more information, please call us on (08) 8234 9707

23.01.2022 /Splint/ noun. A strip of rigid material used for supporting and immobilizing a (suspected) broken bone or dislocation. An effective splint helps to prevent f...urther injury and to provide substantial pain relief. We LOVE this makeshift splint our patient came in wearing today! Dr. Duncan Walker said ‘Our nurse Brooke will enjoy this!’

22.01.2022 This is what gout looks like. Known as the "disease of kings" it commonly occurs in the big toe, but often in many other joints - in this case from the elbow. P...roper management with your doc is crucial to reduce attacks, and can include aspiration (shown here) under ultrasound guidance to remove the painful inflammation associated with the tophi collection. If you zoom in on this picture you can make out the tiny (but painful!) white urate crystals. Dr. Duncan Walker #Gout #Pain #JointPain #Inflammation

16.01.2022 Last of our Professional Members Education Sessions for 2020 on Complicated Shoulders. Thank you to Dr. Duncan Walker, Sports and Arthritis Clinic, and Tristan Chai, Good Physio, for presenting tonight. Great to have participants from overseas joining us tonight.

15.01.2022 Some (helpful?) tips on staying fit during your isolation. Enjoy!

14.01.2022 Uncommon complaints after muscle strains include residual seroma formations. Here Dr. Duncan Walker is draining the fluid under ultrasound which then allows the muscle fibers to come together and heal.

03.01.2022 Did you know that often the most successful teams are those with the fewest injuries? And part of protecting your efforts in your training before the competitio...n starts is to identify and reduce risk. Pre-Season screenings are mandatory for all professional teams from AFLW to NBL and we encourage all levels of athletes to take advantage of the same baseline concussion tests, health checks, cardiac monitoring, force performance measures and so on that is done for our professional athletes. Screenings and baseline performance monitoring can allow us to help keep you playing and competing safer and longer. The same team that helps look after many professional clubs and athletes are here at SPARC, and happy to help answer any questions you have. #MyPhysioSA #VALD #PreSeason #Screening #Baseline #Performance #Injuries #SPARC
