Treatments & Therapies
Treatment and follow-up options available cater for patients both in-hospital and on an outpatient basis. These are developed specifically for each patient and can include:
- Physiotherapy (including hydrotherapy)
- Dietary therapy
- Drug therapies
- Minimally invasive surgery
- Exercise programmes
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy specialists can aid in the management of orthopaedic and musculoskeletal conditions. Assistance with the treatment of post-fracture mobilisation, back and neck pain and sports injuries can ease pain and help train patients to manage their own conditions.
Dietary Therapy
Many outpatients with bone health problems or nutrition related conditions respond well to various types of dietary therapy. Patients are encouraged to develop a clinical and nutritional treatment plan that is followed up and reassessed on a regular basis.
Drug Therapies
A number of different medications available have been shown to reduce the risk of fractures and help manage the pain associated with bone problems. Prevention and treatment medicines can be applied to stop bone deterioration in its tracks, and stimulate new bone formation.
Exercise Programmes
Exercise has been proven to strengthen the muscles supporting bones and joints, and in some cases alleviate associated pain. Each patient at the centre is provided with a detailed assessment to develop a personalised plan including an individualised exercise programme.
Minimally invasive surgery
Surgery can provide some relief from ongoing painful effects of bone disorders. Revolutionary surgeries for osteoporosis have been applied to relieve pain and can allow for patients to retain a quality of life they might not otherwise be afforded. Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty are two types of surgery, involving only minimal invasion and can be applied even after significant bone deterioriation has set in.
