A common problem following elbow injury or surgery is stiffness, as heterotropic ossification can occur. X-rays and CT scans may be necessary to determine a diagnosis accurately.

As initial treatment, physiotherapy aims to achieve a functional range of motion. If this is not the case, you may need open or arthroscopic surgery depending on the extent of your elbow’s stiffness.

While planks are a great full-body workout, if not done correctly, they may hurt the shoulders. If your plank feels unstable, you may be setting your hands too far apart from your body. This may strain the shoulders, wrists and neck, so ensure that your hands are shoulder-width apart, aligned directly underneath your shoulder.

In cases of a dislocated shoulder, both surgical and non-surgical treatment follow rehabilitation that involves regular physiotherapy exercises for the best chance of healing. To avoid further injury, I also encourage patients to keep an active lifestyle to help them achieve more mobility and less pain.

As far as sporting injuries go, chronic elbow tendon pain and other ‘overuse injuries’ are sometimes harder to recover from than other seemingly more severe injuries. When you feel a stubborn pain or tension in your elbow or wrist, it may be an actual injury that requires surgical or non-surgical treatment. Consider booking a consultation through Karen or Lisa at (02) 8014 4252 if you’re interested to learn more.

One of the most common causes of dislocated shoulders is falling directly on the shoulder or landing on an outstretched hand. A dislocation may be more likely to occur if you have pre-existing conditions such as loose joints or connective tissue disorders.

In treating distal biceps tendon injuries, it is essential to have surgery as soon as possible to give you the best chance of a healthy recovery. If you wait several weeks, the tendon begins to scar, making the procedure more difficult. Afterwards, it may take a few months before your tendon heals and regains normal function.
