ARTHRTIC PAIN

HAVE YOU BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT YOUR ARTHRITIS?

A large proportion of arthritic pain occurs due to joint stiffness and

the associated inflammation. Specialised physiotherapy techniques

can safely decrease this stiffness, in turn reducing inflammation

and significantly improving your pain.

MEDICAREIn some circumstances chronic conditions can be treated under

Medicare. For more information contact us or ask your GP.

VETERANS’ AFFAIRSDepartment of Veterans’ Affairs gold card holders are covered for

100% of all physiotherapy treatment costs. Other card holders are

also usually covered for physiotherapy. For more information contact

us or ask your GP.

NECK AND BACK PAINPHYSIOTHERAPISTS ARE THE EXPERTS YOU SHOULD CONSULT FOR TREATMENT OF NECK AND BACK PAIN.

Physiotherapists are the health professionals most commonly used by medical practitioners and specialists when referring patients for the treatment of neck and back pain.

Neck and back pain can be caused by problems with discs, joints,

muscles and ligaments. These structures can be injured as a result

of acute trauma, poor postural

habits and the accumulation

of physical stress on the spine.

Pain can also occur as a result of

arthritis, degenerating discs, muscle

tension, muscle and core weakness

and normal wear and tear.

Physiotherapists are university trained in the assessment and treatment of spinal problems.

Physiotherapists treat neck and back pain using a variety of

techniques. These techniques include joint mobilisation (a gentle,

safe form of manipulation), core stabilisation, heat, laser, ultrasound

and exercises. Advice can also be provided on ways to relieve your

pain by correcting its cause, for example the correction of poor

postural habits.

APPOINTMENTS

SPORTS INJURIES

SPORTS INJURIES NOT PROPERLY TREATED CAN LEAD TO ONGOING PROBLEMS WHICH CAN AFFECT YOUR SPORTING PERFORMANCE OR FUTURE HEALTH.

Sports injuries, whether they are recent or old injuries continuing to

cause problems, need professional assessment and management

to ensure no unnecessary complications occur.

Injuries left to heal themselves can lead

to long term residual problems due to

soft tissue adhesions and tightness,

joint stiffness, muscle imbalance, and a

deficiency in the return of normal muscle

strength.

Physiotherapists are highly qualified and trained in the assessment

and treatment of sports injuries and have a traditional and enduring

working relationship with doctors and specialists.

With a comprehensive knowledge of biomechanics, tissue

pathology and tissue healing, experienced physiotherapists play an

integral part in the treatment, rehabilitation and injury prevention of

professional athletes in sporting teams and organisations such as

the Australian Olympic team and the Australian Institute of Sport.

The physiotherapists at Revesby Physiotherapy and Sports Injury

Centre have extensive experience in the treatment of both elite and

non elite athletes.
