11.01.2022 Tendinopathy - Quick Facts Is it called Tendinopathy or tendinitis? Is there a difference Itis = inflammation. And in the case of tendinopathy, in...flammation is not generally involved in the progression of the disease, only in the initiation (in some cases). Therefore Tendinopathy is the correct terminology . We commonly see tendinopathies in the rotator cuff (shoulder), the lateral hip, the Achilles tendon, the wrist (especially post-pregnancy), the elbow (tennis and golfers elbow) and the knee (jumpers or runners knee) . The main risk factor for developing a tendinopathy is overuse or a change in activity. You can also have predisposing factors to tendinopathy such as poor biomechanics or strength imbalances. Systemic factors also play a role - you are more likely to develop a tendinopathy as you get older, if you are perimenopausal or menopausal, or if you have elevated cholesterol levels . Exercise is the most evidence based treatment for tendinopathy. The tendon needs to be loaded progressively with the correct exercises in order to heal. Eccentric exercises are often used - this is where we lengthen the muscle/tendon with load rather than shortening it. The prescription of exercise will be different for each patient depending on severity/pain levels. Your physiotherapist will advise you on this and on how to modify activity . Tendinopathies are frustrating!!! You often need to give it at least 12 weeks to see changes with exercise. For chronic cases shockwave therapy and injections can be used; though research is still being conducted in these areas . Questions? Send us a message or give us a call. See more

08.01.2022 Can Disc Bulges heal? YES they can! Several studies have shown that larger disc bulges actually have the greatest tendency to reduce and resolve with co...nservative (non-surgical) management or even if left completely alone (source 1- link below). Scroll across to the second picture above. This shows a massive disc bulge, that had completely resolved on MRI 12 months later. The patient was managed with physiotherapy and exercise, no surgery. SO... HOW MUCH DO DISCS IMPROVE AND HOW LONG DO THEY TAKE TO HEAL? One paper looked at a large group of patients with large disc prolapses over a 2 year period by repeatedly scanning them and monitoring what was happening to their disc prolapses over time. A large proportion of these patients had severe sciatica initially, but improved as time went on despite having a large disc herniation on their scan. They found that 83% of the people they studied had a complete and sustained recovery when followed up two years later with only four patients requiring surgery! On average, over the two years, the size of the disc protrusions were reduced by 64% (source 2). Another paper found that 38% of all the disc prolapses they observed became smaller in size when left completely alone. Among their results they found that more specifically, extruded disc 'fragments' resolved 100% of the time and disc 'herniation' resolved in 83% of cases! Over a six month period most disc protrusions were on average 1/3 of their original size (source 3). CAN WE PREDICT WHAT WILL HAPPEN? Where early improvement is seen then the outlook is far better (source 4). This is why it is important to see your physiotherapist early, and get started on appropriate guided rehabilitation and exercise. DOES THIS APPLY TO ALL DISCS? Unfortunately it is not as simple as that... See your physiotherapist or GP if you have back pain, especially if you have unusual signs such as: * Saddle anaesthesia (loss of feeling between the legs, numbness in or around your back passage or genitals) * Bladder or bowel disturbance * Sexual dysfunction * Worsening leg pain or weakness Sources cited in this post listed below: Source 1: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/17613504/ Source 2: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/19887021/ Source 3: https://www.researchgate.net//8121133_Spontaneous_Involuti Source 4: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19887021/
