Sports Injury / Musculoskeletal Therapy

Neck Injuries

Examples of relatively common acute injuries to the cervical spinal region include whiplash and neck pain associated with concussion.

However, the most common neck pain is chronic (builds up over an extended period of time)

Shoulder Injuries

The huge number of associated structures (bones, ligaments, nerves, muscles and their tendons) of the shoulder joint makes injury and pain in the area very common. Injuries to the shoulder are particularly common in athletes who use repeated overhead movements

Hip Pain

Persistent hip pain is common amongst all age groups and although it can be serious in terms of its origin and long term prognosis, it is also very common for hip pathologies to have a much less serious cause and a very positive short and long term prognosis.

Less serious common injuries around the hip include gluteal tendinopathy, which is sometimes included in a branch term of Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome, which can include the injury or irritation of structures such as the tendons and bursae of the lateral hip. 

Knee Injuries

Common knee injuries include damage to the ligaments,which effect the stability of the joint. 

Causes of long term knee pain vary significantly but can include pathologies such as patella tendon degeneration or Osgood Schlatters which is a common apophysitis pathology in young people and adolescents. 

Ankle Injuries

Ligament and tendon injuries are common ankle injuries and can lead to ankle joint instability and persistent pain if not treated correctly.

Both acute and chronic injuries can be treated, using the latest evidence based technology - Shockwave - to treat chronic tendinopathies.

Shockwave

The evidence supports  the use of Shockwave technology to treat tendinopathy with published research showing that it can be an excellent treatment modality and when used alongside effective exercise prescription can reduce recovery time and likelihood of flare ups. At Physiocare Rehab we are using Shockwave to effectively treat those stubborn, long term injuries.
