Dr. Duncan Walker

Dr. Duncan Walker Team doctor for the AFL Crows & Adelaide 36ers. Currently working as the team doctor for the Adelaide Crows, both men's and women's teams, and Adelaide 36'ers.

Dual medical specialist qualifications as both Sports and Exercise Physician and General Practice, enabling expert and wholistic non-surgical management for all your joint and muscle problems. This is on an extensive background as the doctor for the SANFL Eagles, SA state U18 and U16 teams, boxing, martial arts, and A league soccer, along with several international tours including the World Cup T20 for Hong Kong, Matildas, Kookaburras and Young Socceroos. Recently completing his final requirement for specialist qualification in the Australasian College of Sport and Exercise Physicians (FACSEP), this marks only the 5th doctor in South Australia with this qualification. In addition to 2 prior degrees, a medical degree, and a fellowship in General Practice (FRACGP), Dr Walker continues to have a special interest in both using exercise prescription as a preventative approach to many of the current epidemics such as osteoarthritis and diabetes, as well as use in the management of acute injuries. Certified in both diagnostic and interventional ultrasound also allows more accurate diagnosis of pathology and guide appropriate interventions, often at the same time of your initial appointment. Competency in injectables, including platelet rich plasma (PRP), hyaluronic gels, hydrodisection, and cellular therapy (stem cells) is an ongoing area of interest, as is non-surgical management of musculoskeletal problems such as osteoarthritis, tendon strains and shoulder problems. These skill areas, along with an ongoing interest in working with a wide variety of professional and casual athletes, help to keep you healthy and injury free. When not immersed in medicine, he can be found enjoying photography during his travels, practicing martial arts, or playing guitar waiting for a call-up to play lead guitar for Metallica.

This is what gout looks like. Known as the "disease of kings" it commonly occurs in the big toe, but often in many other joints - in this case from the elbow. Proper management with your doc is crucial to reduce attacks, and can include aspiration (shown here) under ultrasound guidance to remove the painful inflammation associated with the tophi collection.

If you zoom in on this picture you can make out the tiny (but painful!) white urate crystals.
