08.01.2022 Shoulder tendonitis and impingement are common conditions that usually resolve with time, simple exercises and avoidance of activities which may aggravate the condition. They occur when the rotator cuff rubs on the undersurface of the acromion, causing pain that runs down the arm to below the elbow. This pain is often worse at night, or with activities such as overhead work and forward reaching. Most patients can be treated through physiotherapy, with surgery only undertaken if non-operative treatment is ineffective. Clinical examination is the key to diagnosing rotator cuff conditions, so be sure to visit your GP or physio if you are experiencing this pain.

07.01.2022 Achilles tendinopathy is the result of gradual, accumulated 'wear and tear' in the tendon from overuse or ageing. Other terms used for this condition are 'tendinitis' or 'tendinosis'. It can either occur within the Achilles' tendon or at the tendon's insertion on the heel bone. Treatment of this condition has improved significantly in recent years, with physiotherapy and other non-surgical treatments used in all cases. Surgery is only recommended when non-surgical treatment has been tried for at least six months. For more information, go to www.woc.com.au

02.01.2022 Arthritis of the knee is characterised by progressive pain within the knee joint. Most patients with knee arthritis won't require surgery, but it's important to be assessed by a professional to determine the best treatment for you. Wakefield Orthopaedic Clinic provides individualised treatment plans for arthritis patients, specific to your presentation, symptoms and future lifestyle goals. For patients who have had minimal improvement in their symptoms with non-operative management, surgery may be required to improve quality of life. Ask for a referral to Wakefield Orthopaedic to discuss your options with our arthritis specialists.
