Joint, Muscle, and Bone Conditions
Shoulder, knee, hip, hand, and ankle problems can make daily movement difficult. Some injuries improve with rest, while others require medical care. At Mash Spine & Orthopaedics, we assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of orthopaedic conditions.
Why Orthopaedic Health Matters
The body’s joints, muscles, ligaments, and bones work together to support movement and balance. Injuries, overuse, or wear-and-tear changes can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, sometimes affecting everyday activities such as walking, lifting, or climbing stairs.
Orthopaedic Conditions Treated
Infections can range from mild surface infections to deeper ones that affect muscles, fascia, or bones
Fractures can range from simple cracks to complex breaks that shift the bone out of alignment.
Tingling numbness and weakness are symptoms of nerve injury and/or dysfunction.
Spreads to the hip or buttock, making it hard to sit, stand, or even walk comfortably.
Sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down to the legs, gets irritated or compressed.
How We Diagnose Orthopaedic Conditions
Accurate diagnosis is key to effective treatment. Assessment usually includes:
- Medical history and symptom review
- Physical examination
- Imaging, such as X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound
- Additional tests if needed to confirm the cause of pain
Treatment Approaches
Depending on the condition and severity, treatment may involve:
- Non-surgical care: medication, physiotherapy, bracing, or activity modification
- Injections: for pain management or diagnostic purposes
- Minimally invasive procedures: arthroscopy or keyhole surgery
- Surgical treatments: joint repair, replacement, or reconstruction where necessary
When to Seek Medical Attention
Consider seeing a doctor if you experience:
- Persistent pain, stiffness, or swelling in a joint
- Pain that interferes with daily activities
- Numbness or tingling in the hands or fingers
- Joint instability, weakness, or frequent dislocations
- Pain or swelling after an accident or sports injury
