As part of the post surgery rehabilitation of a total hip arthroplasty a set of precautions are given to enable risk free recovery. The delivery of these precautions to the patient is extremely important. If the reason for this caution is not explained fully there is the potential for fear of movement, avoidance of exercise and decreased mobility all of which are essential for recovery.
The fear stems from a thought in the back of the mind that if I go too far the new joint will dislocate and that thought is frightening. However, looking at statistics the risk of dislocation of primary hip replacements ranges from 0.2% to 10% per year.
This is a major surgery with a large amount of tissue repair required in the first 6-8 weeks. The precautions, when followed alongside a rehabilitation programme allow the tissue to heal, adapt and prepare for the increasing load on the road to recovery.

Post surgery I was unable to sleep due to the intense levels of pain. I couldn’t get comfortable in bed due to post surgery precautions and healing surgical sites. I looked at my Garmin one morning and the stress readings on the device clearly showed the night I had had.

The Physiological Effects of Acute Pain

Acute pain is our body’s immediate response to injury or illness, serving as a protective mechanism. But did you know it triggers a series of physiological changes? Here’s what happens when acute pain kicks in:

1. 🌀 Fight or Flight Activation: The body’s stress response, or “fight or flight,” is activated. This releases adrenaline and cortisol, which increases heart rate and blood pressure, preparing the body to react.
2. 💔 Increased Heart Rate and Blood Pressure: As the nervous system ramps up, your heart pumps faster to supply more oxygen and nutrients to essential organs and muscles.
3. 🌬️ Rapid Breathing: Pain can cause you to breathe faster or more shallowly as your body tries to bring in more oxygen. This can sometimes lead to dizziness or hyperventilation.
4. 💥 Muscle Tension: Pain often causes muscles to contract reflexively. This natural reaction can protect the injured area but may also lead to muscle soreness.
5. 🧬 Inflammatory Response: Pain triggers the release of inflammatory chemicals, like prostaglandins, which help protect the body and promote healing. However, they can also contribute to the sensation of pain.
6. ⚡ Heightened Sensitivity: The nervous system becomes more sensitive to stimuli, increasing the perception of pain as a way to warn against further harm.

🌟 Introduction:
A common injury solution with uncommon results—Shockwave Therapy is a game-changer! 🏥

🔍 What is Shockwave Therapy?
A modern approach to healing injuries, Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive, effective treatment that delivers shockwaves to the affected area. The therapy promotes cell regeneration and accelerates recovery.

🔬 How it works?
The process involves the application of acoustic waves through a handpiece, targeting the injured tissue. The waves stimulate blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and ultimately, speeding up the healing process. 💪

🌟 Benefits:
1️⃣ Faster healing times.
2️⃣ Reduced pain and discomfort.
3️⃣ Improved mobility and flexibility.
4️⃣ Non-surgical and non-invasive.

🔬🔍 When to use it?
From tendonitis to plantar fasciitis, Shockwave Therapy is ideal for various musculoskeletal conditions. 💼
