Joint Dysfunctions and Injuries

Take Advantage of Our Complimentary PRE-ASSESSMENT

Your joints play an important role in connecting two or more bones to allow fluid motion. However, while these joints are built robust, they’re still prone to injuries. If you’ve recently been in a bicycle wreck or car accident, fallen in a contact sport, or simply repeated a motion through sport or manual labour, you may be at risk of a joint dysfunction or injury.

There are a number of risk factors when it comes to joint dysfunctions and injuries. These include lack of physical fitness, poor form during activities, weight, age, and previous injury, to name a few.

At Pro Health Clinic, we treat a range of joint dysfunctions and injuries. Please visit us for an assessment.

Common joint injuries

Dislocation

Dry needling is a common technique used by many health professionals such as Chiropractors, Physiotherapist, Osteopaths and Massage therapist. Dry needling is a procedure that requires the use of acupuncture needles that are inserted into myofascial trigger points.

Sprains/ Strains

Frequently occurring among athletes and those who lead highly active lifestyles, sprains and strains may not always require professional treatment. However, a splint, physical therapy, and nonsurgical treatment may be recommended.

Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow

As the names suggest, Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow are caused by overuse. While icing and elevation along with physical therapy are generally the only self-care treatment needed, in some cases surgery may be required.

Rotator Cuff Tear

The rotator cuff refers to a group of tendons in the shoulder. Tears are quite common, and they can immobilise an individual’s use of their arm or shoulder. While painful and an inconvenience, a rotator cuff tear can be treated through physical therapy and/or orthopaedic surgery.
