Orthopaedic Medicine

Orthopaedic medicine is the area of medical practice that deals with joint pain, muscle pain and bone pain ... but from a non surgical perspective

An orthopaedic medicine specialist will assess your pain problems and provide treatment using injections, manipulations, acupuncture or other similar therapy

Most orthopaedic medicine doctors are not surgeons but they usually work closely with surgical colleagues to make sure that your care is optimised

Doctor Gordon Cameron is an orthopaedic medicine specialist based in Edinburgh, Scotland

Shoulder Hydrodilation Treatment

I get a lot of email questions about shoulder hydrodilation treatment for frozen shoulder

Some people call it shoulder hydrodistension or hydrodilatation. Medical journals sometimes refer to it as a "therapeutic arthrogram" - but it all amounts to the same thing ... using warm saline to stretch out and distend the shoulder joint capsule

The joint capsule is the bag of gristle that surrounds the shoulder. In a frozen shoulder it becomes inflamed and sticky - sticking to itself and to other parts of the joint too. Injecting warm salty water under mild pressure helps to break up the stick adhesions and frees the joint to a more normal range of painfree movement

I'm pleased to say that frozen shoulder hydrodilatation treatment is now available in Edinburgh. It works well for frozen shoulder pain at all stages but is particularly good for those whose pain is very severe or who have a shoulder that is very, very stuck

Viscosupplementation For Frozen Shoulder

I've been interested to read some recent research about the use of products like Synvisc One or Ostenil for the treatment of frozen shoulder.

These viscosupplementation treatments are more often thought of in terms of osteoarthritis - particularly in the knee - but recent developments have seen some doctors claim good results when used along with steroid injections (or instead of steroid injections) for shoulder pain treatment.

I'd like to hear your views.

Have you had shoulder pain treated using viscosupplementation - this might include Synvisc, Synvisc One, Supartz, Ostenil, Euflexxa, Durolane or other similar products.

Leave me a comment and let me know - I'd like to hear of your experiences.

Pain behind the knee

Pain behind the knee is a common symptom and can be associated with a number of different underlying conditions.

In older people pain at the back of the knee may be a symptom of osteoarthritis or wear and tear. In athletes this symptom can indicate a cartilage tear or sometimes it might point to damage in the anterior or posterior cruciate ligament.

Bakers Cyst is another frequent cause of a pain behind the knee - the joint capsule fills up with fluid and the posterior area bulges out causing a visible and painful swelling.

If you develop pain at the back of your knee then seek help early and get some investigations and treatment sorted out as soon as you can.

Sports Injury Clinics

One of the great benefits from using Sports Injury Clinics for assessment and treatment of your joint or muscle pain is that you can expect to get input at a high level from doctors and physical therapists with years of experience in dealing with athletes

Your pain or sporting injury will be carefully assessed, investigated using x-rays or ultrasound or MRI scanning and then an individual plan for treatment and rehab will be worked out

Hyalgan

I'm often asked about whether Hyalgan can be used to treat shoulder pain in the same way that it works for arthritis of the knee

Hyalgan is a useful treatment for knee pain in general - but works particularly well for osteoarthritis of the knee. It's given by injection - sometimes on only one occasion or sometimes repeatedly over the course of two or three weeks

Shoulder Doctor, Gordon Cameron now offers a comprehensive Hyalgan, Supartz, Orthovisc and Synvisc Treatment service. If you have chronic knee pain then these options might make a huge difference. Consultations and treatments are available in Edinburgh, Scotland

You can make an appointment to discuss treatments and options here.
