21.01.2022 Tendon pain is the main feature of tendinopathy (i.e., tendon degeneration). Achilles tendinopathy is the most common type, affecting 2.35 per 1,000 adults. There are many treatment options for tendinopathy, but some have shown to be effective and others have not. Read more: www.ramsaystchiropractic.com.au/things-avoid-achilles-tendo

21.01.2022 Knee swelling is a common presenting condition in both primary care and the emergency department. It can be due to trauma, overuse or systemic disease, but is particularly common in sporting populations due to the high risk of traumatic injury. The knee is injured more often than any other joint because it has an important role in weight-bearing and it does not have the same kind of strong stability and joint congruity (i.e., how well the joint surfaces connects to one another) as seen in the hip and ankle.

21.01.2022 Metacarpal (i.e., hand) fractures are common sporting injuries seen in boxing, football, basketball and netball, and account for 10% of all fractures presenting to emergency rooms. There are varying degrees and types of hand fractures, often requiring orthopaedic examination and imaging investigation, immobilisation and reduction of the fracture as indicated. Sports chiropractors provide an important conservative management role in patients with a history of metacarpal fractures. Management focuses on restoring normal biomechanics, reducing pain and fear-avoidance, strengthening surrounding muscles, joints and ligaments, sports-specific exercises and return to play.

19.01.2022 Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is a highly debated and controversial source of low back and buttock pain in sports, often being accused of moving too little (i.e., hypomobile), moving too much (i.e., hypermobile), or even medically subluxating (i.e., an incomplete or partial dislocation of a joint) or "popping out of position". In fact, the joint itself is a very strong structure, connected by strong ligaments. True sacroiliac joint pain is less common than reported in practice. The sacroiliac joint pain/dysfunction is a broad diagnosis and is often used as a scapegoat for low back and buttock pain that has no clear diagnosis. Thus, management can be a challenging task and mutlimodal interventions are often required. Read more: www.ramsaystchiropractic.com.au/sports-chiropractic-for-sac

19.01.2022 Back pain is a complicated condition. There are many causes to back pain. Often there is no singular source of pain, and several tissue structures can be involved leading to pain episodes. When examining back pain, we must also consider pain severity, chronicity, and intrinsic/extrinsic factors. Read more: www.ramsaystchiropractic.com.au/back-pain-cause

18.01.2022 The posterior chain is a group of muscles of the back, lower torso and extremities. These large muscles are supportive for the posterior (back) aspect of the body, and provide much of the "powerhouse" movements to keep you upright. The effect of the posterior chain on pain and performance is unclear and experts debate its importance. However, there are many exercises that strengthen and mobilise the posterior chain.

16.01.2022 No Pain, No Gain: Recent evidence suggests that the brains' processing of pain, the immune system and psychological aspects of pain respond to exercise in a positive way. In fact, there might be some additional advantages when exercise is painful, over and above pain-free. These mechanisms may lessen the severity of musculoskeletal pain through specific exercises aimed to address fear-avoidance behaviour and beliefs, and appropriate support and education from your healthcare ...practitioner. Reference: bjsm.bmj.com/content/53/14/907 via British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) At Ramsay Street Chiropractic, we focus on patient-centred, active care strategies to ensure best, long-term outcomes are achieved for our patients. Call us on 02 9799 5000 to make an appointment today.

14.01.2022 Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) is a common musculoskeletal condition in young athletic populations, accounting for 25% of knee injuries seen in clinical practise. The incidence of PFPS is around 22/1,000 person-years, and is 2.23 times more common in females than in males. PFPS can be due to acute trauma to the patellar, but is more commonly due to a combination of biomechanical and neuromuscular changes. There are several proposed mechanisms responsible for PFPS and often these factors occur simultaneously in individuals. Tissues can become overloaded or overused, leading to dysfunction. It is for these factors that PFPS can be a challenging musculoskeletal disorder to conservatively manage, and often requires multimodal management.

14.01.2022 Ankle osteochondral lesions (AOLs) are defined as the separation of a fragment of articular cartilage with or without subchondral bone of the talus. AOLs of the talus is an important cause of residual pain, particularly with weight-bearing, after a severe ankle sprain. Symptoms include impaired function, limited range of motion, joint and muscle stiffness, joint catching, locking and swelling. Walking and sporting activities can be severely compromised.

11.01.2022 Older people should increase their exercise levels once they hit 60 years old to help reduce their risk of heart attack and stroke, new research suggests. People who started exercising after being continuously inactive had a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease of up to 11% compared with those who stayed sedentary, a study of more than a million elderly people found. Full study here: bit.ly/36RVviG.

11.01.2022 Australians appear to lead more sedentary lifestyles than ever before. Our lifestyle choices directly impact on our health. Some lifestyle factors can lead to back pain both indirectly and directly. Importantly, many of these lifestyle factors leading to back pain are in fact avoidable.

09.01.2022 Permanent disability in low back pain (LBP) is extremely rare. About 80% of LBP cases are attributed to nonserious musculoskeletal causes (e.g., strains and sprains, tendinopathy, impingement syndromes etc.). However, in a very small number of cases, LBP can be a serious medical issue. Read more: www.ramsaystchiropractic.com.au/back-pain-permanent-disabil

02.01.2022 Subacromial impingement (SAI) is defined as a clinical syndrome that occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles, which pass through the subacromial space, become irritated and inflamed. SAI is a common condition seen in sporting populations and in older age. There are two main types of SAI: internal and external. There is good evidence that physical therapy is useful in reducing pain and improving function in patients with SAI. Read more: www.ramsaystchiropractic.com.au/subacromial-impingement
