DO you know about scoliosis?

 Scoliosis causes the spine to abnormally curve sideways into an "S" or "C" shape of more than 10 degrees.
 Equal numbers of males and females have scoliosis, but females are eight times more likely to have a curve progress to a stage that requires treatment.
 85 percent of scoliosis cases are idiopathic, meaning the cause is unknown.
 Scoliosis impacts infants, adolescents and adults, but the primary age of onset is between
the ages of 10 and 15.
 Currently two-thirds of states mandate or recommend screenings in school; medical societies recommend that females are screened at least twice at age 10 & 12 and males once at age 13 or 14.
 Scoliosis is the most common abnormality of the spine
 Early diagnosis is the key to taking important first steps to providing treatment that may prevent more serious problems.
 If anyone has family history of scoliosis ,need to check their growing kids spine screening.

Some parents with a family history of structural scoliosis, bring their children in every 3 months for free screening during growth spurts, so we can pick scoliosis up promptly, should it arise. This then allows opportunity to commence interventions designed to halt curve progression.
Free screenings are typically of 10 minutes duration. They may be done in-rooms or via Telehealth.

I rolled my ankle!

Ankle sprains account for around 15-30% of all sporting injuries and are very common in everyday activities. Ankle sprains occur when the ligaments that stabilise the ankle joint are stretched beyond their normal limits, causing damage to the ligament and associated swelling and bruising around the joint. Most ankle sprains are sustained to the outer side of the ankle when it is rolled inwards, but you can also sustain sprained ligaments to the inside of your ankle, these are just less likely.
Poor management and insufficient rehabilitation can lead to recurrent ankle sprains, impairment of athletic/person performance and persistent disability

Lateral ankle sprains are graded depending on severity:

• Grade 1 is a smaller ATFL tear with minimal swelling and the ability to walk with little to no pain.
• Grade 2 is a larger ATFL tear with bruising, swelling over the outer ankle, inability to walk or bear weight without pain.
• Grade 3 tear is the most serious with a complete rupture of the ATFL, minimal or no ability to walk without severe pain; swelling and tenderness surrounding the whole ankle.

Initial management should involve POLICE means :

• P – Protect the injured area from further injury by stopping sport and if unable to walk without significant pain, using crutches or a moonboot (depend upon the severity of sprain) or simply staying off it.
• OL – Optimal Loading – this can be tricky to work out – consult your physiotherapist to find what is right for you based on the severity of the injury. It does mean some movement from the very beginning.
• I – Ice for pain relief and to help manage swelling.
• C – Compression with an elastic bandage to manage swelling and pain
• E – Elevation to manage swelling, bruising and pain.
How can physio help?

Your physio will guide you through a 3 phase rehab program to get you back on the track and prevent recurrent sprain.
Phase 1: appropriate rest to promote healing, swelling management and measures to protect the ankle.
Phase 2: rehabilitation to restore range of motion, strength and flexibility.
Phase 3: gradual return to normal activities and sport specific retraining.
Note:These 3 phases can take anywhere between 2 and 18 weeks, depending on the severity of the injury. In some severe cases, a second opinion might be encouraged where surgery may be indicated.

04/09/2022

Tennis elbow (or lateral epicondylitis) is a term used to describe pain on the outside of the elbow which typically gets worse with gripping and lifting activities. Despite its name, this injury is not only seen in tennis players (who grip their racquets too tightly)but also in people whose jobs involve repetitive use of the forearm muscles

Who Might get the tennis elbow:
• Baseball and softball players.
• Bowlers.
• Fencers.
• Golfers.
• Tennis, squash, pickleball and racquetball players.
• computer users
• Assembly line workers and auto mechanics.
• Butchers and chefs.
• Carpenters, cleaners, painters and plumbers.
• Dentists.
• Gardeners and landscapers.
• Manicurists.
• Musicians.
• electricians,
What causes Tennis Elbow?
Repetitive arm movements can cause your forearm muscles to get fatigued. A single tendon attaches this muscle to the bony bump on the outside of your elbow (lateral epicondyle). As your muscle gets tired, the tendon takes more of the load. This overloading can cause inflammation and pain, known as tendinitis. Over time, this overloading can cause a degenerative condition known as tendinosis. Together tendinitis and tendinosis can then lead to tendon tearing.
Sometimes, a sudden arm or elbow injury causes tennis elbow. Rarely, people develop the condition for no known reason (idiopathic tennis elbow).
How do you know if you have Tennis Elbow?
Physio will perform a physical exam to check for elbow joint pain, swelling and stiffness to determine the cause of your specific elbow pain.
Some of the common signs are:
• Burning or pain on your outer elbow that may travel to your wrist (these sensations may get worse at night).
• Pain when twisting or bending your arm (for instance, to turn a doorknob or open a jar).
• Stiffness or pain when extending your arm.
• Swollen elbow joint that’s tender to touch.
• Weakened grip when you try to hold items like a racquet, wrench, pen or someone’s hand.
What are the complications of tennis elbow?
Pain from tennis elbow can make it hard to work or do physical activities. The condition can also affect your grip, which can make it difficult to grasp items.
How can physiotherapy help?
Once your physiotherapist has assessed the cause and contributing factors to your elbow pain, they can devise a management plan that suits your individual needs. They will then assist in relieving your pain through manual therapy techniques including taping, massage and dry needling. They will also provide you with an individually tailored rehabilitation program to improve your elbow’s strength to get you back to your normal activities in no time.
