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.
