Using Shockwave Therapy For Pain Recovery

Shockwave is interesting for 2 reasons:

Unlike the majority of other treatments we commonly use which are slow and offer temporary relief, shockwave therapy gives long term results through stimulating the body's natural healing potential, and works quickly.

Even though shockwave therapy is very established in Singapore for well over a decade, it is relatively unknown. Few patients have heard their doctors recommend it.

Shockwave, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy, is an internationally established method of treating pain and inflammation through stimulating tissue repair.

Employing high energy acoustic waves, shockwave induces new blood vessel growth and tissue regeneration.

Although recognized as one of the best treatment options available for pain relief and recovery, its use in Singapore has up till recently been limited.

One reason is that treatment with earlier generation shockwave machines were quite painful, usually requiring local anesthesia. Shockwave machines were also very costly medical devices, resulting in expensive treatments which many patients could not afford.

Fortunately, medical research in recent years has given us a new generation of shockwave machines which provide far more comfortable treatments, no longer requiring anesthetic injections.

They have also become much cheaper, dramatically bringing down treatment costs and making shockwave therapy more affordable to patients.

Conditions Treated with Shockwave include:

Plantar fasciitis (foot pain)

Achilles tendinopathy (heel pain)

Hip pain

Knee pain

Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)

Rotator cuff tendinitis (shoulder pain)

Myofascial trigger points (body aches and muscle pain)

Back pain

Neck pain

Clinical studies have demonstrated extremely high success rates, even in cases which have failed to respond to conventional approaches.

What sets this treatment apart from traditional treatments is that it treats the musculoskeletal pathology instead of just offering symptomatic relief.

Physiotherapists in Singapore with focus on tackling the root problems

Balance Core was established in 2013 and our therapists have henceforth treated thousands of patients. It is with the passion to treat all injuries from the root problems and prevent recurrence of injury that we have founded Balance Core Physiotherapy Centre. The fundamental causes of most musculoskeletal injuries without trauma, are to do with inappropriate movement habits which overly stress certain parts of the body beyond the tolerance level. If the underlying errors in movement habits can be accurately identified, and properly corrected, the parts of the body that are subjected to excessive stress can finally have a proper opportunity to recover fully. When the body is behaving in a healthy manner, there will be minimal chance for future injury again. Our physiotherapists have deep understanding of human biomechanics and can accurately identify the errors in each patient’s behaviors and the mechanism that lead to the injury. We are also well equipped with evidence-based and up-to-date treatment approaches, ensuring speedy and comprehensive recovery for every client.

Our Physiotherapists Can Treat

Knee Pain

Knee pain is usually not a standalone condition. Being the center joint in the lower limb, abnormal loading from the hip or ankle/foot will always alter the loading on the knee joint. When the knee is aligned ideally, the force going through the knee does not cause injury. But, when there is a combination of forces from multiple directions, such as compression and gliding or twisting, the knee is predisposed to early degeneration. Studies have shown that the majority of patients with knee pain also have weakness in their hip muscles and core control. Over time, abnormal balancing and movement strategies will be adopted.

Common knee injuries:

Patellofemoral pain syndrome

Chondromalacia Patella

Patellar tendonitis

Muscle strain

Iliotibial band syndrome

Ligament injury

ACL injury and reconstruction

Meniscus injury and meniscectomy

Osteoarthritis

Knee replacement

Shoulder Pain

Being the most mobile joint in the human body, the shoulder joint needs to strike a balance between mobility and stability. Your shoulders are also one of the most heavily used joints in the upper body as it can generate large amounts of force. The rotator cuff muscles have a very important role in stabilising the glenohumeral joint. They are often under heavy strain, and therefore injuries of these muscles are relatively common.

The spectrum of rotator cuff pathology comprises tendinitis, shoulder impingement and subacromial bursitis. Tendinitis refers to inflammation of the muscle tendons and it is usually due to overuse.  Over time, this causes degenerative changes in the subacromial bursa and the supraspinatus tendon, potentially causing bursitis and impingement.

Common shoulder injuries:

Tendonitis 

Impingement 

Frozen shoulder

Acromioplasty 

Rotator cuff repair

Bankart repair

Shoulder dislocation

Multidirectional instability

Fractures

Back Pain

Many people suffer from back pain and don’t recover mainly due to poor posture at work or in their daily life. As we have an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, weakness in the gluteal muscles and core region makes our back more vulnerable. Tightness in hips also contributes greatly to low back pain. Therefore, restoring the balance and mobility of the pelvic and hip region is essential to improving back pain.

We have also seen quite a number of people who try to do core strengthening exercises (such as planks, crunches, leg raises) to resolve their back pain but ended up getting more pain instead. This is because the concept of core control is poorly understood and with repeated incorrect training, it can cause aggravation instead of relief.  

Common back conditions:

Acute low back pain

Disc Herniation 

Sciatica

Lumbar Spondylosis

Scoliosis

Spinal Stenosis 

Fracture of vertebrae

Bone spurs / osteophytes

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine. Scoliosis usually develops during childhood and the cause is usually not clearly identified. Traditionally doctors and physiotherapists look at scoliosis from the skeletal point of view to derive treatment options. However, with a deeper understanding of the myofascial contribution to the problem, our physiotherapy approach is more robust and comprehensive. 

Though scoliosis is defined as a side-bent, it always involves some degree of rotational and side-shift deformities of the spine. At Balance CORE, we adopt a unique 3D Balance Scoliosis Management to treat scoliosis. This system involves:

Detailed 3D postural analysis

Manual adjustments to reduce misalignment and structural restrictions

Corrective bracing (optional)

Specific corrective exercises and functional training to achieve optimal balance of the spine, in all 3 dimensions / planes

It helps reduce pain, prevent stiffness, improve functional performance and delay worsening of the curve, and is equally effective and beneficial for both children and adults.

Over the years of treating patients with various injuries and discomfort, we have clearly observed a persistent issue with our present-day health care practices. Most of the standard treatments are focused on solving the immediate symptoms and injuries, but little effort has been spent on identifying and intervening the underlying root causes.

Our founder Mr Michael Yan has conceptualized the Integrative Balance Principle of human function. We have been consistently helping thousands of patients recover from chronic injuries and body aches, and live a pain-free life.

The Integrative Balance Principle of human function means that in order for our body to exert force effectively to complete various tasks, the body must achieve balance of several factors at the same time, as shown in the following diagram: 

When the body position or movement habits are not following the integrative balance principle, certain parts of the body will have to bear excessive force loading, or move excessively beyond the healthy range, thus leading to injury and pain. Different error movement patterns will lead to different injuries.

Based on the integrative balance principle, we have formulated a streamlined treatment process that systematically helps our patients correct their movement errors, and adopt healthy habits that is optimized to perform their functional tasks. This treatment process is illustrated below:

Our vision is to be the best physiotherapy Clinic in Singapore, and help millions of people around the world to finally stop worrying about their injuries and live a powerful life!

Kidney Stone Management Devices Market - Rising Penetration of Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Devices Creating Substantial Opportunities for the Market

Kidney stones management devices that are used in removal of kidney stones found inside the kidney. Kidney stones, otherwise known as renal lithiasis, nephrolithiasis, refer to hard deposits made of minerals and salts that accumulate across the inner lining of kidneys.

Request for the Report Summary: https://www.factmr.com/report/1827/kidney-stone-management-devices-market

Seamless and safe removal of large kidney stones continues to be a focus area for healthcare providers. The evolving demand has catalyzed the initiatives taken by medical device manufacturers to launch innovative equipment in the market. For instance, Cogentix Medical’s launched the XenX® Stone Management Device to remove kidney stone fragments larger than 1mm. SonoMotion, another key player in the kidney stone management devices market, is reinvigorating its non-invasive solutions for kidney stone disease through launch of Break Wave. In a bid to cater to the imminent need for removing large kidney stones safely and effectively, industry-institution collaboration is also gaining ground – the development of PAKAD by Institute of Technical Education (ITE) at Singapore and HCMT Holdings Pte Ltd (HCMT) is a case in point. Sensing the evolving demands in the kidney stone management devices market, it is highly likely that industry-institution collaboration for treating large kidney stones will gain momentum.

High cost and fragility of reusable ureteroscopes continues to induce a preference for single-use, disposable scopes. Challenges on account of unavailability of ureteroscopes can be mitigated through the use of single-use and disposable scopes. However, concerns pertaining to deflection and irrigation flow have led to the limited adoption of single-scope and disposable scopes. Researchers have been working on comparing the performance of disposable scopes with reusable scopes, and a new study can have a significant impact on the sales of the former.

Request for the Sample of the Report: https://www.factmr.com/connectus/sample?flag=S&rep_id=1827

According to researchers DB Hennessey, G Fojecki, N Papa, N Lawrentschuk, D Bolton found that “The LithoVue is analogous to reusable flexible ureteroscopes in regard to standard technical metrics. Depending on its purchase cost it may also represent a cost saving for hospitals when compared to the cumulative costs of maintaining reusable scopes. Additionally, urologist may consider using the scope in cases in which reusable scope damage is anticipated.”

Rising preference for minimally invasive methodologies is driving the adoption of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Less postoperative pain and minimum complications are among the key factors driving adoption of PCNL, especially for treatment of large kidney stones. Additionally, favorable reimbursement policies are also enhancing their penetration across various regions. Driven by superior post-treatment stone-free rates, PCNL presents a wide array of avenues for manufacturers to explore. Moreover, technological advancements such as patient positioning, miniaturized access tracts, development of lithotriptors, and postoperative nephrostomy tube management are fueling adoption of PCNL devices.

Plantar Heel Pain: The Effectiveness of Sports Physiotherapy

Plantar fasciitis, also known as plantar heel pain, is a very common condition that can cause significant discomfort and pain in the bottom of the heel. In athletic runner, plantar heel pain accounts for as much as 8% of injuries. Sports physiotherapy or sports massage is the most appropriate treatment for this condition.

What is plantar fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of plantar fascia of your back foot. Plantar fascia is a strong band of tissue that connects your heel to your toes. It acts as a shock-absorber in your foot. If your plantar fascia and its attached ligaments get weak and irritated due to repetitive use, then you develop plantar heel pain condition. Though this condition is common in middle-aged people, but younger athletes or active individuals who do a lot of walking, running, and standing are more likely to injure their plantar fascia. Symptoms typically include difficulty in walking and standing on heel. You can develop plantar fasciitis if:

• You have started exercising on different surfaces • If you are overweight and causing too much strain on your heel • If there sudden stretching of your sole or you wear poor cushioned shoes • If you have a tight Achilles tendon as it affects ankle’s ability to flex

Physiotherapy Treatment: Plantar Fasciitis Massage

Deep tissue sports massage is the best treatment option for plantar fasciitis as it helps to get relief from pain and stimulate blood flow to the area. Your foot doctor will use five primary techniques for deep tissue massage:

1. Active Motion to stretch the targeted muscles 2. Passive Motion to manipulate the muscle 3. Static Pressure to apply firm pressure on specific sore spots 4. Muscle Stripping with deep movements to remove knots and toxins caught in the muscle 5. Negative Pressure to expand and separate muscles by using suction cups

Consult your local sports massage therapist in Singapore or a specialized foot doctor if you are experiencing any symptoms that are similar to those of plantar fasciitis. Your professional therapist will make an accurate diagnosis and may suggest when to start your deep sports massage treatment session.

[postrehabspecs]

Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury affecting the ligament on the underside of the foot's arch, leading to pain in the foot's bottom and heel. Sometimes referred to as a "heel spur," though not synonymous, a heel spur is a bony outgrowth occurring at the connection of the plantar fascia to the heel bone (calcaneus). While a heel spur can develop without symptoms, a painful heel may not necessarily exhibit the presence of a heel spur.

Tips for Preventing Foot and Ankle Injuries

Foot and ankle injuries are common in activities including jogging, tennis, and soccer. However, sports fans can lessen their risk of harm by taking a few easy precautions.

You should warm up before participating in any sporting activity.

Stretching out the muscles gently or, better yet, going for a two to three minute jog will help to warm them up. Avoid "bouncing movement" when pushing the stretch. Here are some preventative measures for you, but if you want an expert, visit ankle specialist singapore.

Exercise your muscles to get them ready for the sport

Enhance the duration of the workout gradually over several weeks to increase physical strength and mobility. Muscle growth can benefit from cross-training, which involves participating in a variety of activities.

Select athletic footwear that is tailored to your specific foot type

Look for shoes that provide support in the front and under the arch if you have pronated feet or low arches. The back of the shoe, or the heel and heel counter, needs to be quite sturdy. If you have a stiffer foot or high arches, choose for shoes with more cushioning and a softer platform. Make sure your footwear is appropriate for the task. In general, cross training shoes are a good option, but shoes developed particularly for the sport are preferred.

It's time to get new athletic shoes when the tread or heels start to wear out.

A committed runner should replace their shoes more frequently, at least every six months, for regular runners.

Try not to run too many hills

Although running uphill is a great exercise, you should gradually work up to it to prevent injury. You face a higher risk of injury while jogging downhill too quickly than when running uphill!

Avoiding repeat injuries is advisable

A brace or tape can help athletes who have previously suffered from ankle injuries prevent recurrence.

Be mindful of your body

If you have foot or ankle pain while engaging in a sport, halt or modify your movements until the pain subsides. Additionally, before returning to the sport after being injured, you should receive rehabilitation and training to prevent recurrence.

Tennis and running-related injuries

Tennis and running injuries include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and ankle sprains. Ankle sprains are brought on by falling on an uneven surface and causing the foot to spin uncomfortably. This causes a partial or complete rupture of any of the ligaments responsible for stabilizing and supporting the ankle joint.

Acute inflammation or a partial rupture are frequently the results of overuse injuries to the Achilles tendon, the largest and strongest tendon linking the back of the calf muscle to the heel bone. If the force is exerted properly and the tendon is weak, it could rupture.

Another common condition that causes discomfort in the heel or arch is inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that extends from the heel to the toes and supports the arch of the foot.

Additionally, runners are susceptible to stress fractures in the bones of their feet as well as damage to the tendons and ligaments on the inner and outside of their ankles. Running may not cause a foot fracture on its own, but repeated stresses or pressures can weaken or fracture the bone over time. From 5% to 15% of all running injuries are stress fractures. 49 percent of the injuries were sustained by people who ran between 25 and 44 kilometers each week.

Treatment

How these injuries are addressed depends on the extent of the damage. Most strains and sprains can be effectively treated with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE). On the other hand, moderate to severe cases can require immobilization in the form of a cast or brace. Surgery could be necessary if an injury does not heal within the expected time frame.

Injuries to the foot and ankle should be attended to as soon as possible, especially if you are limping or if there is swelling. Treatment and therapy that are fast, appropriate, and effective provide the best possible recovery.
