Posted in: Joints, News, Orthopaedics, Sports Medicine | Posted on: 05-Sep-2019
Stress injuries tend to take place over time. This group of soft-tissue injuries is also known as overuse injuries. That is because this type of injury typically has to do with repetitive motions. Tendinitis is the classic example of a repetitive motion stress injury. Sports injury specialists commonly see this soft-tissue injury.

Posted in: Foot & Ankle, News | Posted on: 20-Aug-2019
Let’s start with toe walking. Toe walking (which is when children walk on their tip-toes) is incredibly common in children who are learning to walk – particularly in the 2nd year of life. By the time kids turn three the tendency to toe walk fades; however, it does persist in some children. Now, it should be noted that the occasional toe-walking isn’t cause for concern.

Posted in: Hand & Wrist, Joints, News, Orthopaedics | Posted on: 20-Aug-2019
Historically, carpal tunnel syndrome has primarily been attributed to overuse/repetitive motion of the wrist and/or hand. However, it’s felt that, from some patients, carpal tunnel syndrome is more congenital in nature, meaning that some individuals are simply born with smaller carpal tunnels.

Sprains occur when you tear or stretch a ligament. If the joint remains stable, you’ll be diagnosed with a mild sprain.

This makes it impossible for the joint to function.
