Pain Management

The menisci are two crescent shaped cartilage discs that sit between the bones of the knee, called the lateral meniscus and medial meniscus. These structures help to provide your knee with stability and shock-absorption during weight bearing activities.

The neck consists of seven bones called vertebrae. Each vertebra is separated from the others by discs, stabilised by joints and ligaments and moved by muscles.

Plantar Fasciitis is the most common reason of rear foot pain and is caused by aggravation of the plantar fascia. The plantar fascia is a broad, thick band of tissue that runs from the heel and attaches under the toes.

Sever’s Disease is a common cause of heel pain that occurs between the ages of 7 and 15 years. As children grow, their bones get longer and this causes the muscles to get tighter. When the calf muscles on the back of the leg get tighter, they pull on the heel through the Achilles tendon.

Shoulder impingement occurs when the rotator cuff tendons are impinged as they pass through the space beneath the point of the shoulder. This impingement can cause irritation of the tendons resulting in pain and in ammation and possible eventual damage.
