Once a diagnosis is established, we will recommend a treatment plan. This could include:
Physical rehabilitation (Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, Massage Therapy, Acupuncture)
Medications to manage symptoms
Refer for Diagnostic imaging (MRI, Diagnostic Ultrasound,
X-Rays, CT Scans, Bloodwork, etc..)
Bracing and taping
Exercise and performance counselling
Corticosteroid (cortisone) injections to relieve pain and inflammation
Hyaluronic acid injections. Also known as hyaluronate, this is an essential component of normal joint fluid. This "joint jelly" has been produced synthetically and can easily be injected as a single shot into nearly any osteoarthritic joint to supplement the existing synovial fluid.
