Conditions Treated
Wrist Fracture
A wrist fracture is a break in one or more wrist bones, commonly the distal radius. It often occurs from falls onto an outstretched hand, sports injuries, or weakened bones due to osteoporosis. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, deformity, and limited movement. Diagnosis is confirmed with X-rays and, in complex cases, may require CT imaging. Early management with immobilization, physiotherapy, and protective measures helps prevent complications like malunion, stiffness, arthritis, or nerve and tendon damage.
Trigger Finger
Trigger finger is a condition in which a finger becomes stuck in a bent position due to inflammation of the flexor tendons. It commonly occurs from repetitive gripping, forceful hand movements, or underlying conditions like diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. Symptoms include stiffness, popping, clicking, and pain at the base of the finger. Diagnosis is usually clinical and may be supported by ultrasound when needed. Early care with hand rest, stretching, splinting, or corticosteroid injections can prevent permanent contracture and restore normal hand function.
Tennis Elbow and Shoulder Problems
Tennis elbow and shoulder problems are overuse injuries affecting tendons in the elbow or shoulder, including rotator cuff tendinitis. They result from repetitive motions, poor technique, or improper posture, commonly seen in sports, lifting, or computer work. Symptoms include pain, weakness, and limited arm movement. Diagnosis involves physical examination and imaging. Management focuses on proper technique, ergonomic adjustments, strengthening exercises, and physiotherapy to relieve pain, prevent chronic tendon damage, and restore function for daily and sports activities.
Tendonitis
Tendonitis is the inflammation of a tendon, often affecting the shoulders, elbows, wrists, or knees. It commonly results from overuse, repetitive motion, aging, or occupational and sports-related strain. Symptoms include localized pain, swelling, warmth, and stiffness, which can limit joint movement. Early diagnosis through physical examination and imaging helps guide treatment. Management involves rest, physiotherapy, gradual return to activity, and preventive measures to avoid chronic degeneration or tendon rupture, ensuring full recovery and improved function.
