Treatment

Heel Pain

Heel pain is a common problem that affects people of all ages, often causing discomfort with every step. Because the heel absorbs the body’s full weight during walking, running and standing, it is particularly vulnerable to strain and injury. The pain may start with a mild ache that becomes sharper over time or it can […]

Cartilage Injury

Cartilage is a smooth, flexible tissue that lines the ends of bones within our joints. It acts as both a cushion and a shock absorber, allowing bones to glide over one another with ease while protecting the joint from excessive wear. Unlike many other tissues in the body, cartilage has a very limited blood supply, […]

Knee Pain

From overuse to injury, knee pain affects people of all ages and activity levels.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to promote healing in injured or degenerative tissues. By concentrating platelets, which are blood components rich in growth factors, PRP stimulates repair and reduces inflammation in areas such as the knee, shoulder or elbow. Unlike conventional treatments that focus mainly on relieving […]

Rotator Cuff Injury

The rotator cuff is a group of tendons that stabilise the shoulder and control arm movement. When these tendons are strained, inflamed or torn, shoulder function becomes compromised. Pain and weakness often make it difficult to lift, reach or rotate the arm. In fact, simple actions like combing hair, dressing or carrying items can become […]

Shoulder Dislocation

A shoulder dislocation occurs when the upper arm bone (humerus) slips out of its socket in the shoulder blade (glenoid). Because the shoulder joint is highly mobile and shallow, it is also one of the most unstable joints in the body, making it more prone to dislocation than other joints. Dislocation can happen partially (subluxation) […]

ACL Tear

The knee is a complex joint supported by several ligaments that work together to provide strength and stability. Among them, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) plays a vital role in preventing the shinbone from sliding forward and in maintaining balance during sudden movements such as pivots, stops and jumps. An ACL tear happens when this […]

Meniscus Tear

The meniscus cushions and stabilises the knee. When it tears, pain and instability follow.

Wrist Injury

A Wrist Injury refers to damage or irritation affecting the bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage or soft tissues that support wrist movement. The wrist is a complex joint that allows gripping, lifting, rotation and fine hand control, making it particularly vulnerable to injury during daily activities, work tasks and sports. Wrist injuries may occur suddenly following […]

Ankle Injury

The ankle joint plays an essential role in everyday movement. It supports body weight, absorbs impact and allows smooth transitions during walking, running or jumping. Because of its constant use, the ankle is particularly vulnerable to injury. Ankle injuries occur when one or more of the joint’s supporting structures, such as bones, ligaments, tendons or […]

Golfer’s Elbow

The inner side of the elbow is a complex junction where tendons, muscles and bones work together to allow smooth wrist and finger movement. These structures help you grip, lift and twist. These actions are performed countless times a day. When this balance is disrupted by repeated strain, the tendons that anchor the forearm muscles […]

Sports Injury

A sports injury refers to any damage to the body’s musculoskeletal system that arises during participation in sports or strenuous physical activity. These injuries fall into two broad categories: An acute injury may be presented with immediate pain, visible trauma and functional loss, whereas a chronic injury can creep in, causing persistent ache, stiffness and […]

Shoulder Pain

As the body's most mobile joint, the shoulder is particularly vulnerable to injury and wear.

Tennis Elbow Treatment

What Is Tennis Elbow? Tennis Elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a type of overuse injury caused by the repeated motion of the arms and wrists. Mostly, tennis players who consistently grip their racquets too tightly experience this condition. However, it is not exclusive to tennis players and can affect anyone who makes repetitive movements with […]
