It is commonly caused by a sports injury. Professional and weekend athletes can suffer from an Achilles tendinosis, but it is also a common overuse injury in people who are not involved in sport at all. This injury can happen during a strong contraction of the tendon, like when running or sprinting. Also when landing on the ground after a jump, you can force your foot upward, which can cause these kind of Achilles injuries. When suffering from Achilles tendinosis you have a chronic Achilles swelling and pain as a result of a continued, stressed tendon that lead to very small tears in your Achilles tendon. At times you can have a lot of pain in the back of your heel and may have difficulty walking. Sometimes the pain makes walking even impossible. The area around your Achilles tendon can be red, swollen and very sensitive. Recover® Leukocyte-, and Platelet-Rich Plasma (L-PRP) offers a technique that may help tendon injuries. L-PRP prepared with the Recover technique, results 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 Recover®: A natural treatment of Achilles tendinosis Recover® treatment A 52 ml sample of blood is withdrawn from your arm. The blood is then transferred in a cell separator tube that is placed into 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. L-PRP obtained with the Recover technique (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 may be used. After just one single skin poke, the L-PRP will be injected into the tendon with multiple penetrations. After treatment After the injection you should not move your leg for 15 minutes. Afterwards you can go home and may get a prescription for a narcotic pain medication for pain control overnight. Anti-inflammatory drugs are not allowed. Icing can be a good solution. Increased pain at the site of injury may result for 2 weeks after Recover L-PRP injection. Forty-eight hours post treatment you should start a standardised stretching protocol which will be provided by your consultant. This should be followed 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.

As with all forms on tendonitis, treatments are focused around rest and then the proper conditioning on the tendons on the forearm: Rest – avoid the activity that causes the pain and adapt your movements to take the stress from certain tendons. For example, try lifting objects with your palm face down or face up to see which is more comfortable. Pain relief – over-the-counter painkillers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, can treat the pain and possibly reduce any inflammation as well.

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.

Bursitis/Trochanteric Pain See more BURSITIS/TROCHANTERIC PAIN ABOUT BURSITIS Bursitis is where the bursa in a joint becomes inflamed. A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that reduces friction and helps the tendons and ligaments of the joint slide easily over each other. You can get bursitis in any joint but it most commonly affects the shoulders, hips, elbows and knees. When the bursa in the hip joint becomes inflamed, it is called trochanteric bursitis. We can treat trochanteric bursitis in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop! There are several causes of bursitis but mostly when the joint is overused or following an injury. Active people, especially walkers, runners and cyclists are prone to getting bursitis in the hip. When the long connective tissue called the iliotibial band (ITB) is tight from extensive use, it can rub against the hip joint causing bursitis. Other causes of bursitis include poor posture, gout or surgery on the hip. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF TROCHANTERIC BURSITIS? The symptoms of trochanteric bursitis include: Sharp pain or dull ache on the outside of your hip. Warm or tender to touch, possibly even swollen. Hurts more when you move, such as going downstairs or getting up from sitting. Painful to lie on that side or when you press it. WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR BURSITIS? There are several ways that you can self-treat bursitis in the hip: Rest – this means keeping your weight off the hip joint as much as possible, such as using crutches when walking. Ice therapy – applying an ice pack to the joint for 10 to 20 minutes every few hours will help reduce the inflammation. Elevation – keeping the joint at the same level as your heart (also known as lying down) Anti-inflammatory meds – over-the-counter meds, such as ibuprofen, can help reduce inflammation If your bursitis isn’t getting better using self-treating methods, there are other options available: Physiotherapy – a physio can both manipulate the joint as well as give you specific exercises that can help with your bursitis. Antibiotics – your GP may prescribe a course of antibiotics if the bursitis is as a result of an infection. Injections – cortisone steroid injections can be made into the hip joint to reduce the swelling. If the bursa is not healing despite treatments above, it may need to be removed surgically as it may be beyond repair.

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.

Hip Sprain See more HIP SPRAIN ABOUT HIP SPRAINS The ligaments in the hip connect the thigh bone to the pelvis. When one or more of these ligaments is pulled or stretched too far, we call it a sprain. This overstretched ligament may be damaged such as tiny tears as a result. A similar injury is a hip strain where a muscle is stretched and damaged, such as a hip flexor strain. We can treat hip sprains in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop. Sprains and strains in the hip are usually caused by a sudden twisting movement. This can be from a fall or as a result of a car accident. Hip sprains are also common for sportspeople when they have to make a sudden change of direction. But can also occur if the joint wasn’t warmed up properly before exercising. You are more likely to strain your hip if you have previously had a hip strain. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF A HIP SPRAIN? A hip sprain is painful and will probably affect your ability to walk. Other symptoms include: Sharp pain at the top of the hip Hurts to walk or run or lift your thigh Stiffness or cramping in the leg Bruising around the hip or top of the thigh Walking with a limp Swelling at the hip joint Because so much of our movement comes from our hips, a hip strain can be felt in other parts of the body including the abdomen, back and thighs. WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE? Sprains should be rested and ice should be used in the first 48 hours. This will help prevent further damage and help reduce any swelling. 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 If your hip sprain is more severe, other treatment options include: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) – painkillers that help reduce any inflammation. Physiotherapy – strengthening and stretching exercises that keep the hip mobile and flexible. Heat therapy and plasma-rich protein therapy can also be used to promote healing. Crutches or similar aid – to help you walk whilst you rest your hip. Mild to moderate hip sprains should get better within two to eight weeks. More severe sprains will take longer and require more rehabilitation. However, if your hip sprain doesn’t get better through non-invasive treatments, surgery might be an option. Surgery may be required to assess the damage and/or repair and ruptured tissues. Book an appointment to treat hip sprains in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster or Worksop.

Osteoarthritis of the Hand See more OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE HAND ABOUT OSTEOARTHRITIS Osteoarthritis is a condition that can affect any joint in the body, however, it most often affects the knees, hips and the small joints in the hands. A soft tissue called cartilage protects the ends of bones where they move against each other in a joint. When the cartilage is worn down, either through everyday use or as a result of an injury, the action of the bones rubbing against each other is the cause of osteoarthritis. We can treat hand osteoarthritis in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop. Osteoarthritis can develop with age, as your joints become more worn. If you’ve previously had an injury or surgery on a joint, you may be more likely to develop osteoarthritis in that joint. You may also have a family history of osteoarthritis which increases the chance of you developing it yourself. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in the UK and affects nearly 9 million people. There is no cure for osteoarthritis, however, there are ways of managing and treating the condition. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF OSTEOARTHRITIS IN THE HANDS? Osteoarthritis in the hands most commonly affects the base of the thumb and the end joint of the fingers, although any hand joint can get arthritis. The main symptoms of hand osteoarthritis are: Stiff and painful joints Poor grip strength Swollen, enlarged or knobbly joints Limited range of movements Grating or popping sound when moving the hands known as crepitus Sometimes, the stiffness is worst in the mornings when you wake up and may ease as you begin to move about. Symptoms may come and go or you might experience them continuously which affects your ability to do everyday activities. Mild cases of osteoarthritis of the hand can be managed through regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight. More severe cases may need painkillers and additional support or treatment. WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR OSTEOARTHRITIS? Lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise may help prevent or manage mild cases of hand osteoarthritis. Plus, you can use painkillers, such as paracetamol, to treat any pain flare-ups. There are several other non-surgical treatment options for osteoarthritis of the shoulder: Exercise therapy – strengthening exercises to improve symptoms in your hand. Adapting your lifestyle – changing how you do certain tasks and using aids to support you e.g. tools for opening jars or bottle lids. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) – different painkillers that can be prescribed by your GP. Steroid injections – short-term pain relief for arthritis sufferers that can last several weeks. Supportive aids – e.g. a night splint that supports the joints whilst you sleep. Surgery to treat hand osteoarthritis is less common. This is partly to do with the complexity of the hand as well as the limited options. Surgical procedures range from fusing the joint to replacing a knuckle. Surgery is usually reserved for people with particularly painful osteoarthritis in their hands.

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.

Knee Ligament Injuries See more KNEE LIGAMENT INJURIES ABOUT KNEE LIGAMENT INJURIES Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect bones in your body. The knee joint is made up of several ligaments that attach your thigh bone to the bones of the lower leg and the knee cap, these can get torn and damaged. We can treat knee ligament injuries in Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Worksop . The four main ligaments are: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) – connects the thigh bone and shin bone at the front of the knee. Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) – connects the thigh bone and shin bone at the back of the knee. Medial collateral ligament (MCL) – connects the thigh bone and shin bone on the inside of your knee. Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) – connects the thigh bone to the shin bone on the outside of your knee. Too much stress on the knee may cause one or more of these ligaments to stretch, tear or snap. The types of movements that can cause a knee ligament injury include: Twisting the knee Landing awkwardly An impact on the knee joint Hyperextending the knee These types of movements are likely to occur whilst playing sports but can also happen if you trip or fall. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF A KNEE LIGAMENT INJURY? An injury to a knee ligament is painful, may cause swelling and make walking very difficult. After the injury has settled a simple ligament injury may heal and be fine. However injuries to the Cruciate ligaments usually casue symptoms of instability (feels wobbly). The knee can give way during sports or even just doing normal daily activities. WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE? Damage to knee ligaments ranges from mild to severe so treatment will depend on your injury. Soft tissues like ligaments can take longer to heal than muscles so you will need to be patient with your body. Even a mild injury could take three months before you are pain-free. For minor liagment injuries , a combination of rest, ice therapy, compression and elevation can initially treat your knee injury. Then, gentle exercises to promote the full range of knee motion will help with your recovery. A brace may be necessary to allow full healing and prevent further damage. It may not be apparent to you how badly damaged your knee is so it is always a good idea to get it chekced out by a specialist so nothing important is ‘missed’. Physiotherapists can put you on a knee exercise program that will be important for a full recovery. For more severe cases, such as a complete tear of the ACL, surgical reconstruction may be the only option. Extensive physiotherapy may also be required before and after surgery.
