  • Trigger Finger Treatments at Coriel

    About trigger finger Trigger Finger is a condition where a finger or thumb gets stuck in a bent position because of a tendon getting ... Trigger Finger See more TRIGGER FINGER ABOUT TRIGGER FINGER Trigger Finger is a condition where a finger or thumb gets stuck in a bent position because of a tendon getting caught within its protective sheath. The sheath, or synovium, is a tunnel of lubricating tissue that normally allows the tendon to move smoothly as you bend or straighten your finger (or thumb). If the sheath becomes inflamed or damaged, it can cause the tendon to more less freely or even get stuck. We can treat Trigger Finger in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop. Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, can affect anyone of any age. However, trigger finger is most common in women aged between 55 and 60 and is caused by repetitive movements of the hands, such as frequent gripping. People with diabetes are also more prone to stenosing tenosynovitis. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF TRIGGER FINGER? Symptoms of trigger finger focus around the movement of the affected finger: Your finger/thumb catches or makes a popping sound when you straighten and bend it and this may cause some pain. The finger/thumb may be stiff to move when you first wake up and improves throughout the day. Your finger or thumb may lock in a bent position which can be pulled straight when using the other hand. Hard lumps or nodules at the base of the finger or thumb and in the palm of your hand. Without treatment, a trigger finger that does not improve may lead to further damage to the sheath. The sheath may become thicker, scarred or more nodules may form all of which will further impede the use of the finger. WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR TRIGGER FINGER? Trigger finger doesn’t always require treatment as it will often clear up on its own. However, if there is no improvement within a couple of weeks, it’s better to seek help from your GP: Painkillers – using an anti-inflammatory painkiller, such as ibuprofen, can help reduce the swelling in the tendon’s sheath. Splint – wearing a splint at night keeps the finger in the extended position which allows the tendon and sheath to rest. Cortisone steroid injection – these injections can reduce inflammation and treat any pain and can work very quickly to improve your trigger finger. Surgery is also an option where the inflamed or damaged sheath is removed. Book an appointment with one of our specialists to treat Trigger Finger in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster or Worksop.

Forefoot Pain (Metatarsalgia) See more FOREFOOT PAIN (METATARSALGIA) ABOUT FOREFOOT PAIN Forefoot pain describes any pain in or around the ball of the foot in the metatarsal region. There are several conditions that can cause pain in the forefoot and the most common is metatarsalgia. We can treat forefoot pain in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop. Metatarsalgia is inflammation in the ball of your foot around the joints where the foot bones meet the toe bones. It isn’t a serious condition but can make walking extremely uncomfortable so can affect exercising or your daily activities. Metatarsalgia can be caused by exercises that involve a lot of jumping or being raised onto the balls of your feet, such as skipping or dancing. The condition can also be caused by wearing high-heeled shoes or shoes that are too tight across the foot, or by being overweight. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF METATARSALGIA? The symptoms of metatarsalgia include: A sharp or burning pain in the ball of your foot Pain that is worse when you stand, walk or run, or when you raise up onto the balls of your feet. Pain that is worse if you are barefoot The constant sensation that there is a stone in your shoe Similar conditions that cause forefoot pain include: Morton’s Neuroma where the pain is caused by a pinched nerve in the ball of your foot. Freiberg’s disease where a deformed metatarsal bone causes pain and possibly a limp. Sesamoiditis is where the tendons supporting the sesamoid bones under the big toe become inflamed. WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE? Most cases of metatarsalgia are treatable with conservative methods: The best treatment for a metatarsalgia is wearing well-fitted footwear that is wide enough for your feet. Insoles or orthotics can also be used to support the foot arch and keep your weight properly distributed when walking. Metatarsal pads can give extra cushioning to the ball of the foot to relieve pain. Ice therapy and painkillers can be used to treat the inflammation and the pain caused by metatarsalgia. Surgery is rarely needed but can help where a case of metatarsalgia has not responded to other forms of treatment. Book your treatment for forefoot pain in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster or Worksop.

  • Frozen Shoulder Treatments at Coriel

    About frozen shoulder Frozen shoulder is a condition where the shoulder joint stiffens to the point where any movement is difficult or painful. In ... Frozen Shoulder See more FROZEN SHOULDER ABOUT FROZEN SHOULDER Frozen shoulder is a condition where the shoulder joint stiffens to the point where any movement is difficult or painful. In a frozen shoulder, the fibrous casing that surrounds the joint becomes inflamed and thickens or becomes scarred. As it thickens or scars, it tightens the shoulder joint and this causes the pain and stiffness. We can treat frozen shoulder in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop. The exact cause of frozen shoulder isn’t known but possible factors include shoulder injuries, such as rotator cuff tears, or surgery and also diabetes. Recovering from a frozen shoulder can take months, even years, and some people may never regain full movement in their shoulder. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF FROZEN SHOULDER? Frozen shoulder has two main symptoms: Dull ache and pain that does not go away or may worsen at night Limited and/or painful movement in your arm The limited range of motion in a frozen shoulder can make everyday activities difficult, including driving a car or even getting dressed. Frozen shoulder typically goes through three stages as the condition develops: Freezing stage – the most painful stage. The shoulder becomes increasingly painful and begins to stiffen. This can last from two to nine months. Frozen stage – there is less pain in the joint however the range of motion is severely limited. This may last up to a year. Thawing stage – gradually, the movement begins to return to the shoulder although there may still be some pain until it’s fully healed. Recovery from a frozen shoulder can take up to five years. WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR A FROZEN SHOULDER? Frozen shoulder often gets better on its own and there are no specific treatments. However, your GP or physio will give different advice depending on early or late your diagnosis is: Pain management – because early-stage frozen shoulder is so painful, pain management is often a priority and you can use over-the-counter pain relief. Rest – early-stage frozen shoulders should be rested until the pain is under control. You may have to adjust your job or lifestyle so you can limit using your shoulder. Physiotherapy – your physio will show you gentle exercises to gradually increase the range of shoulder motion. Your physio may also manipulate the joint to help improve shoulder mobility. There are also several surgical options that can help reduce the tightness or remove the scarring on the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint.

Ankle Sprains and Instability See more ANKLE SPRAINS AND INSTABILITY ABOUT ANKLE SPRAINS The ankle joint is kept stable by several strong ligaments working alongside the muscles in the foot. When one of these ligaments is stretched or torn, it is called a sprain. We can treat ankle sprains in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop. Sharp, sudden twisting movements can cause damage to these ligaments, such as when the ankle “gives way” underneath us. When the ankle is sprained, tendons and blood vessels can also be damaged. An ankle sprain is a common injury for sports that involve running or jumping. However, you’re just as likely to sprain an ankle when walking without proper attention and walking off a curb unnoticed or missing a step when coming downstairs. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF AN ANKLE SPRAIN? Ankles sprains are painful and the symptoms include: Bruising around the ankle Swelling of the ankle joint Painful to put weight on your foot Your ankle feeling unstable A grating feeling when you walk If you are unable to walk or put weight on your foot, it’s possible that you may have broken a bone. Therefore, it’s important to visit your GP or A&E department to be sent for an x-ray of your ankle. WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE? For a mild sprain, you can use the RICE principle to treat yourself at home: R – Rest: try an keep off your ankle for the first 48 hours I – Ice: apply an ice pack to reduce swelling C – Compression: Use a compression bandage to help prevent swelling E – Elevation: raising your ankle to level with your heart also helping reduce swelling Other ankle sprain treatments include: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) – painkillers that help reduce any inflammation. Physiotherapy – strengthening and stretching exercises that keep the ankle mobile and flexible. Brace or Cast – a rigid boot or plaster cast is used to immobilise the foot for helping to heal a ruptured Achilles tendon. Crutches – to help you walk whilst you rest your ankle. For ankle sprains that don’t seem to get better through non-invasive treatments, surgery might be an option. Surgery may be required to assess the damage and/or repair ligaments.

  • Hand and Wrist Arthritis Treatments at Coriel

Hand and Wrist Arthritis See more HAND AND WRIST ARTHRITIS ABOUT HAND AND WRIST ARTHRITIS When the joints are affected by arthritis, activities of daily living can be difficult. Arthritis can occur in many areas of the hand and wrist and can have more than one cause. Over time, if the arthritis is not treated, the bones that make up the joint can lose their normal shape. This causes more pain and further limits motion. We can treat hand and wrist arthritis in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop. When arthritis occurs due to disease, the onset of symptoms is gradual and the cartilage decreases slowly. The two most common forms of arthritis from disease are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis: Osteoarthritis is much more common and generally affects older people. Also known as “wear and tear” arthritis, osteoarthritis causes cartilage to wear away. It appears in a predictable pattern in certain joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that can affect many parts of your body. It causes the joint lining (synovium) to swell, which causes pain and stiffness in the joint. Rheumatoid arthritis most often starts in the small joints of the hands and feet. It usually affects the same joints on both sides of the body. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF ARTHRITIS? Arthritis painful and will probably affect the mobility of your hand and wrist. Other symptoms include: Joint may feel warm to touch due to inflammation in the area Pain that is either dull or has a burning sensation Swelling around the affected joint Changes in the surrounding joints Sensation of grating or grinding in the affected joint (crepitation) Small cysts may start to develop around the area WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE? Treatment options for arthritis of the hand and wrist include medication, splinting, injections, and surgery, and are determined based on: How far the arthritis has progressed How many joints are involved Your age, activity level and other medical conditions If the dominant or non-dominant hand is affected Your personal goals, home support structure, and ability to understand the treatment and comply with a therapy program Non Surgical Treatment Medications – Medications treat symptoms but cannot restore joint cartilage or reverse joint damage. The most common medications for arthritis are anti-inflammatories, which stop the body from producing chemicals that cause joint swelling and pain. Examples of anti-inflammatory drugs include medications such as naproxen and ibuprofen. Supplements – Glucosamine and chondroitin are widely advertised dietary supplements or “neutraceuticals.” Neutraceuticals are not drugs. Rather, they are compounds that are the “building blocks” of cartilage. Injections – When first-line treatment with anti-inflammatory medication is not appropriate, injections may be used. These typically contain a long-lasting anesthetic and a steroid that can provide pain relief for weeks to months. The injections can be repeated, but only a limited number of times, due to possible side effects. Splinting – Injections are usually combined with splinting of the affected joint. The splint helps support the affected joint to ease the stress placed on it from frequent use and activities. Splints are typically worn during periods when the joints hurt. Surgical Treatment If nonsurgical treatment fails to give relief, surgery is usually discussed. There are many surgical options. The chosen course of surgical treatment should be one that has a reasonable chance of providing long-term pain relief and return to function. It should be tailored to your individual needs. If there is any way the joint can be preserved or reconstructed, this option will be chosen. Book an appointment to treat hand and wrist arthritis in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster or Worksop.

  • Achilles Tendon Problems Treatments at Coriel

    About the Achilles Tendon The Achilles Tendon is a large tendon that connects your calf muscle to your heel bone. The tendon runs from ... Achilles Tendon Problems See more ACHILLES TENDON PROBLEMS ABOUT THE ACHILLES TENDON The Achilles Tendon is a large tendon that connects your calf muscle to your heel bone. The tendon runs from your heel to halfway up your lower leg where it joins to the muscle and is the largest and strongest tendon in your body. The Achilles tendon is necessary for normal walking as it helps to lift your heel off the ground. We can treat problems of the Achilles tendon in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop. The most common injuries to the Achilles comes from overloading the tendon, such as starting a new active hobby or having a labouring job that involves a lot of lifting, or from a lot of repetitive movements such as going on a walking holiday. Sporting activities are another common cause of Achilles tendon issues accounting for about a third of all injuries. WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF PROBLEMS THAT CAN AFFECT THE ACHILLES TENDON? There are several conditions that can cause pain in your Achilles tendon and range in severity. Tendonitis Tendonitis is inflammation of the tendon. This is often due to repetitive movements that irritate the soft tissues causing them to become inflamed. If Achilles tendonitis is treated it can lead to tendinopathy. Tendinopathy/Tendinosis Tendonopathy, or tendinosis, is when the tendon has begun to deteriorate and develops tiny tears. Ongoing stress on the tendon prevents it from healing itself. Tendon Rupture A partial or full tear of the Achilles tendon is a less common injury. A rupture is more likely among sportspeople in their 30s to 50s. When a tendon is torn or ruptured a cracking or popping sound is sometimes heard. The symptoms of Achilles tendon problems include: A stiff or painful lower leg that may hurt to move or put weight on your foot Swelling and tenderness in the calf muscle or the back of the heel Bruising around the heel Walking with a limp Symptoms will vary in severity depending on which tendon injury you have. For example, you may be able to raise up onto your toes with tendonitis or tendinosis (albeit painfully) but not with a tendon rupture. WHAT ARE THE TREATMENTS FOR ACHILLES TENDON INJURIES? Depending on how serious your Achilles tendon condition is, recovery can take several weeks and maybe even months. Being overweight, inactive, smoking or having diabetes may all affect your ability to recover, so addressing your overall wellbeing will also help with your recovery. Ice therapy – to reduce swelling and inflammation. Rest/change activity – avoid the activity that caused the injury until the pain subsides. Use orthotics – insoles that raise the heel can relieve stress on the Achilles. Physiotherapy – strengthening and stretching exercises that keep the leg and ankle mobile and flexible. Brace or Cast – a rigid boot or plaster cast is used to immobilise the foot for helping to heal a ruptured Achilles tendon. Surgery is also an option for treatment damaged Achilles tendons. But your suitability for surgery will depend on your age, activity levels and previous history of Achilles problems.

Recover® Tennis Elbow Treatment can help. Recover® technique; Leukocyte and Platelet-Rich Plasma (L-PRP) injections Blood consists of red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma and blood platelets. Platelets are known to be responsible for blood clotting and releasing growth factors. Growth factors, released from platelets upon activation, can influence the biological processes necessary for the repair of soft tissues, such as tendon or ligaments, following acute traumatic or overuse injuries. Recover® Leukocyte-, and Platelet-Rich Plasma (L-PRP) offers a technique that may help tendon injuries. L-PRP prepared with the Recover® technique, result in concentrated platelets and white blood cells containing reservoirs of bioactive proteins, like growth factors. L-PRP injection therapy offers a technique that may help to decrease pain and improve function. Recover® is a natural treatment of your tennis elbow A 26 ml sample of blood is withdrawn from your arm. The blood is then transferred in a cell separator tube that is placed in a centrifuge that spins the blood for 15 minutes. The centrifuge step separates the L-PRP from the rest of the blood components. After centrifugation the L-PRP is collected. The PRP (containing platelets, growth factors and white blood cells) is ready to be injected back into the tendon at the site of the chronic injury. Before injecting the L-PRP a local anaesthetic can be used. After just one single skin poke, the L-PRP will be injected into the tendon with multiple penetrations. After treatment After the L-PRP injection you should not move your arm for 15 minutes. Afterwards you can go home and you may get a prescription for a narcotic pain medication for pain control overnight. Anti inflammatory drugs are not allowed. Icing may be a good solution. Increased pain at the site of injury may result for 48–72 hours post L-PRP injection. Twenty-four hours post treatment you should start a standardized stretching protocol that will be provided by your consultant. You should follow this for two weeks. After the two weeks stretching a formal strengthening programme will be added. Over time, you are allowed to take up sporting or recreational activities, as tolerated.
