Orthopaedic Physiotherapy

Orthopaedic physiotherapy focuses on diagnosing, managing, and treating musculoskeletal disorders and injuries. It enhances mobility, alleviates pain, and aids recovery through tailored exercises, manual therapy, and patient education.

Overview

Orthopaedic physiotherapy focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing musculoskeletal conditions, such as joint, bone, and muscle injuries. It employs tailored exercises, manual therapy, and patient education to enhance mobility, alleviate pain, and expedite recovery. The goal is to restore function, improve quality of life, and prevent future injuries.

Common Conditions Treated in Ortho Physiotherapy

Arthritis (Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis): Degenerative joint disease causing cartilage breakdown, leading to pain and stiffness, commonly in knees, hips, and hands. Autoimmune disorder causing inflammation of the joints, resulting in pain, swelling, and potential joint deformity.
Back and Neck Pain: Caused by poor posture, muscle strain, disc herniation, or degenerative conditions like spondylitis. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Fractures and Dislocations: Breaks in bones caused by trauma or stress. Treatment focuses on restoring movement, strength, and function post-immobilization. Joints forced out of position. Rehabilitation aims to restore joint stability and prevent recurrence.
ListSprains and Strains: Ligament injuries caused by overstretching or tearing. Common in ankles, wrists, and knees. Muscle or tendon injuries from overstretching or tearing. Often occur in the back, hamstrings, and shoulders. Item
Tendonitis and Bursitis: Tendonitis: Inflammation of tendons, often due to overuse or repetitive motion, causing pain and tenderness. Inflammation of bursae (small fluid-filled sacs) reducing friction in joints, leading to pain and swelling.
Sports Injuries (ACL tears, Rotator Cuff Injuries): Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee, common in athletes. Rehabilitation focuses on restoring knee stability and function.
Rotator Cuff Injuries: Damage to shoulder muscles and tendons, causing pain and limited motion. Therapy aims to restore shoulder strength and mobility.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation (Joint Replacements): Rehabilitation after surgeries like knee or hip replacements to restore function, strength, and mobility, ensuring successful recovery and preventing complications.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the median nerve in the wrist, causing numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand. Therapy focuses on relieving symptoms and improving hand function.
Scoliosis: Abnormal lateral curvature of the spine, causing back pain and postural issues. Treatment aims to improve spinal alignment and strengthen supporting muscles.
Sciatica: Pain radiating along the sciatic nerve from the lower back down to the legs, often due to a herniated disc or spinal stenosis. Therapy targets pain relief and functional improvement.
