Our Services
Appointment
Not all painful conditions/deformities need surgery. In many situations, symptoms may be adequately treated with a specialised non-operative treatment plan that includes pain relief, improved function and delaying the course of illness. These include :
- Patient education
- Modify activities to decrease stress on the injured joint or tendon.
- Physiotherapy to enhance strength, flexibility, balance and gait.
- Custom orthotics to support the foot and enhance alignment and pressure redistribution.
- Braces, walking boots and splints to protect wounded tissues and to offer stability.
- Recommendations for footwear to maximise comfort and support
- Weight control to decrease stress on the hip, knee, ankle and foot
- Anti-inflammatory drugs and other pain management measures, as indicated.
- Image-guided injections such as corticosteroid or other biologic injections to assist in relieving pain and inflammation in certain individuals.
