🌟 Hip pain on the outside of your hip? It could be Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS)!

GTPS is a common cause of pain over the bony part of your outer hip, often caused by irritation or inflammation of the tendons and bursae in that area. It can affect anyone, but is especially common in active adults and women over 40.

Common symptoms include:
• Aching or sharp pain on the outside of the hip
• Pain when lying on the affected side
• Discomfort with walking, climbing stairs, or standing up from a chair

Non-surgical treatments can help you feel better, including:
• Physical therapy to strengthen hip muscles
• Activity modification and stretching
• Anti-inflammatory medications
• Ice and rest
• Ultrasound-guided injections for targeted relief

Don’t let hip pain slow you down!

Dealing with tingling, numbness, or pain in your hand and wrist? It could be carpal tunnel syndrome—a common condition caused by pressure on the median nerve in your wrist.

The good news: Many people find relief with nonsurgical treatments!

Here are some effective options:
• Wrist splinting – Wearing a brace, especially at night, can keep your wrist in a neutral position and reduce symptoms.
• Activity modification – Taking breaks from repetitive hand movements and adjusting your workspace can help.
• Anti-inflammatory medications – Over-the-counter options can ease pain and swelling.
• Physical therapy – Stretching and nerve gliding exercises can improve symptoms.
• Ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections – Targeted injections can reduce inflammation and provide longer-lasting relief.
• Ergonomic adjustments – Simple changes at work or home can make a big difference.

If carpal tunnel symptoms are affecting your daily life, you don’t have to live with the discomfort.

Struggling with knee pain from osteoarthritis? There’s a non-surgical option that may help—viscosupplementation!

Viscosupplementation involves injecting a gel-like substance (hyaluronic acid) directly into the knee joint. This helps lubricate and cushion the joint, making movement smoother and reducing pain for many patients.

Benefits can include:
• Improved joint comfort and mobility
• Reduced pain during daily activities
• Option for those who haven’t found relief with other treatments

If knee pain is slowing you down, viscosupplementation might be the next step to help you stay active and enjoy life.

🩺 Corticosteroid vs PRP injections for osteoarthritis: Which is right for you?

When managing osteoarthritis, corticosteroid injections offer fast, short-term relief (4–12 weeks) and are best for acute flares or short-term control, but repeated use carries risks of cartilage damage and delayed healing .

By contrast, PRP injections provide superior long-term pain relief and function (6–12 months) with a slower onset and higher upfront cost, and are safer for repeat use, especially in younger patients or those seeking durable outcomes .

Choose corticosteroids for quick relief in acute/inflammatory settings, and PRP for chronic/degenerative conditions needing sustained improvement.
