Patient Journey

Our Services

Injury Management

Knee, shoulder, ankle and back injuries are some of the most common sports injuries. Our centre is fully equipped to treat all kinds of acute and chronic sports injuries. With our multi-disciplinary team of sports physicians, surgeons, physiotherapists, podiatrists, dieticians and acupuncturists, we offer a range of options to help our patients manage and recover from their injuries. These include diagnostic ultrasound to help define injury, as well as procedures such as shock wave therapy and ultrasound guided injections (including PRP).

Physiotherapy

Our team specialises in the assessment and rehabilitation of a variety of sports injuries. Based on the patient’s condition, our physiotherapists will design an individualised and staged management plan.

We also conduct a range of specialised classes for ligament injuries, both before and after surgery. These include strengthening, balance and agility exercises to improve stability and reactivity.

Podiatry

Our podiatrists manage sporting injuries of the lower limb, foot and ankle. We obtain the patient’s sports history and do a detailed biomechanical and gait assessment. Treatment could include identifying and educating on training errors, footwear advice, prescription of foot orthoses (insoles) to take strain off injured tissues and to optimise foot and lower limb functions.

We also conduct video gait analysis clinics, to identify faulty running patterns.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to maintain good health and treat medical conditions by returning the body to its dynamic state of balance.

We use acupuncture to manage a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions. These include musculoskeletal pain, digestive problems, neurological conditions, stress-related disorders or simply, to maintain good health.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT)

This is a non-invasive outpatient procedure that applies ultrasound-guided shock waves on the tissue to be treated. These include conditions such as:

Plantar fasciitis (pain over the bottom of the heel)
Tendinopathy (injury to a tendon or its attachment from overuse or sudden stress), such as:
- Achilles tendonitis (back of the heel)
- Patellar tendonitis (front of the knee)
- Tennis elbow (outside of the elbow

ESWT provides a non-invasive alternative to patients who do not respond to other non-surgical modalities of treatment. It helps to reduce pain in the short term and accelerate recovery from injury over the course of several weeks.

Ultrasound Guided Injection

An ultrasound guided injection enables a procedure to be guided in real-time so that the injection can be delivered to the specific site. This helps to improve outcomes and reduce the need for repeated treatment.

Ultrasound guided injections are available for joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Some conditions we commonly treat include:

Osteoarthritis (of all major joints)
Trigger Finger / De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis
Nerve entrapment e.g. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Frozen shoulder and other causes of shoulder pain

Hyaluronic Acid Injection

Hyaluronic acid is a lubricating medication given through an injection directly into a joint. It relieves knee pain due to osteoarthritis, especially for patients who do not improve with simple pain medication or therapeutic exercise.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP therapy involves the extraction of the body’s platelets, which we inject into a specific site to promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. It is a non-operative treatment that relieves pain by using natural means to aid in the healing of musculoskeletal conditions.

PRP therapy aims to speed up the body’s recovery and help patients to return to their daily activities faster.

Sports Surgery

Our sports surgeons specialise in procedures such as ACL reconstruction (to replace the ligament that supports the knee), meniscus repair (to repair torn knee cartilage), shoulder stabilisation and ankle ligament repairs.

Sports & Fitness Screening

We conduct physical examination and certification of athletes before they start training for competitions. Should there be any concerns, our multi-disciplinary team of sports physicians, orthopaedic surgeons, sports physiotherapists, podiatrists and nurses will assist with appropriate treatment.

Nutrition Consultation

Our dietitians provide advice on food and nutrition for an active lifestyle. They also give guidance to athletes on how to monitor their body fat level, the type of food to eat and the use of ergogenic aids and dietary supplements to optimise their energy, performance and recovery before, during and after competition.
