Orthopedic Physiotherapy Treatment in Dubai

Managing Pain and Improving Function in Joints

Joint pain can significantly impact your quality of life, limiting your ability to perform daily activities and engage in the activities you love. At our Physiotherapy Department, we specialize in comprehensive joint pain treatment for the knee, shoulder, and hip. Our goal is to manage pain, restore function, and improve your overall well-being through personalized care and evidence-based practices.

Initial Assessment

Our joint pain treatment begins with a thorough initial assessment conducted by our experienced physiotherapists. This assessment includes:

• Medical History Review: Understanding your medical background, previous injuries, and current health status.
• Physical Examination: Evaluating the affected joint’s range of motion, strength, flexibility, and pain levels.
• Diagnostic Imaging: Collaborating with your healthcare team to review X-rays, MRI scans, or other imaging studies if necessary.
• Functional Assessment: Observing your ability to perform specific movements and activities to identify functional limitations and impairments.

Individualized Treatment Plan

Based on the initial assessment, our physiotherapists develop an individualized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. This plan may include a combination of the following therapies:

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques to relieve pain, improve joint mobility, and enhance tissue healing. Our physiotherapists are skilled in various manual therapy techniques, including:

• Joint Mobilization: Gentle, passive movements applied to the joint to increase range of motion and reduce pain.
• Soft Tissue Mobilization: Techniques such as massage and myofascial release to address muscle tension and improve tissue flexibility.
• Manual Traction: Applying a controlled force to stretch and decompress the joint, often used for spinal or hip pain.

Therapeutic Exercises

Therapeutic exercises are a cornerstone of joint pain treatment, aimed at strengthening muscles, improving flexibility, and enhancing joint stability. Our exercise programs include:

• Strengthening Exercises: Targeting the muscles around the affected joint to provide better support and reduce strain.
• Flexibility Exercises: Stretching routines to improve the range of motion and prevent stiffness.
• Balance and Proprioception Training: Exercises to enhance coordination and stability, reducing the risk of falls and further injury.
• Functional Training: Activities designed to improve your ability to perform daily tasks and recreational activities.

Modalities

We utilize various modalities to complement manual therapy and therapeutic exercises, providing additional pain relief and promoting healing. These modalities include:

• Ultrasound Therapy: Using sound waves to promote tissue healing and reduce pain.
• Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS): Electrical stimulation to manage pain by disrupting pain signals to the brain.
• Heat and Cold Therapy: Applying heat or cold packs to reduce inflammation, ease pain, and relax muscles.
• Laser Therapy: Using light energy to accelerate tissue repair and reduce pain.

Education and Self-Management

Education is a critical component of our joint pain treatment program. We empower you with the knowledge and skills to manage your condition effectively. Our education and self-management support includes:

• Pain Management Strategies: Teaching techniques to manage pain, such as relaxation exercises and ergonomic adjustments.
• Posture and Movement Training: Instructing on proper body mechanics to reduce strain on the joints.
• Home Exercise Programs: Providing tailored exercise routines that you can perform at home to maintain progress and prevent recurrence.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Advising on weight management, nutrition, and activity modifications to support joint health.

• Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae (fluid-filled sacs) that cushion the joints, causing pain and swelling.
• Rotator Cuff Injuries: Tears or inflammation in the shoulder’s rotator cuff tendons.
