🧠 Could a new migraine treatment help you?

Migraines can have a huge impact on your work, family life and overall quality of life. If you've tried medications such as amitriptyline, topiramate, candesartan or bisoprolol without success, there is now a newer treatment available called Atogepant.

Atogepant is one of the latest medications designed specifically to help prevent migraines by blocking CGRP, a protein known to play a key role in migraine attacks. Clinical studies have shown that it can significantly reduce the number of migraine days for many people while generally causing fewer side effects than some traditional preventative medications.

At Elite Joint Solutions, we provide comprehensive migraine assessments, lifestyle advice and private prescriptions where clinically appropriate, helping you find the treatment that's right for you.

📖 Read our latest blog to learn:
✅ How Atogepant works
✅ Who may benefit
✅ How it compares with older migraine medications
✅ Possible side effects
✅ Current treatment options available

⚡ Struggling with sciatica?

Sciatica can cause severe pain, tingling, numbness, and burning sensations that travel from your lower back down into your leg and foot. Whilst most cases improve naturally, recovery can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.

At Elite Joint Solutions, we combine physiotherapy, chiropractic treatment (when appropriate), massage therapy, acupuncture, exercise rehabilitation, and medication management to help reduce pain and speed up recovery.

One exercise that can be particularly effective for disc-related sciatica is the McKenzie lumbar extension, which may help reduce pressure on the affected nerve and centralise symptoms away from the leg.

If you're struggling with sciatica and would like to discuss your treatment options, get in touch today.

❓ Waking up at night with numbness, tingling or pain in your hand?

You may be suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – a common condition caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist.

Common symptoms include:
✅ Tingling in the thumb, index and middle fingers
✅ Night-time pain and disturbed sleep
✅ Numbness in the hand
✅ Weakness or dropping objects

The good news is that many cases respond well to simple treatments such as wrist splints, nerve gliding exercises and anti-inflammatory medications. However, if symptoms persist, a steroid injection can be highly effective at reducing inflammation and relieving pressure on the nerve.

At Elite Joint Solutions, we offer comprehensive assessments and injection therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome, helping patients return to normal activities as quickly as possible.
