Understanding Disc Herniation

Posted on by Dr Dharam

What Causes Disc Herniation?

Disc herniation often begins with disc degeneration, where the central gel (nucleus pulposus) loses hydration and structural support. Aging makes discs brittle and prone to tears under stress.

Contributing factors include:

  • Trauma or sudden strain, such as lifting or twisting improperly.
  • Repetitive poor posture or prolonged sitting which shifts pressure unevenly across discs.
  • Genetic predisposition, from collagen or matrix gene variations.
  • Athletic activity or contact sport, which demands forceful spinal flexion or impact.

Elite Physiotherapy Assessment for Disc Herniation

1. Detailed patient history

  • We ask about onset, triggers, radiation, posture, prior treatments, and daily limitations.

2. Neurological and orthopaedic testing

  • We evaluate reflexes, muscle strength, sensation, and gait.

3. Special physiological tests

  • Straight Leg Raise (SLR): high sensitivity but variable specificity.
  • Cross-straight Leg Raise: low sensitivity, high specificity.

4. Red flag screening

  • We rule out fractures, infections, malignancies, or cauda equina syndrome.

5. Imaging when needed

  • MRI is the gold standard for confirming a disc herniation. X-ray or CT may rule out other issues.

Elite Physiotherapy Treatment of Disc Herniation

Acute Phase (First 24–48 Hours)

  • To lessen stiffness, promote gentle activity, such as quick strolls.
  • For pain management and inflammatory reduction, recommend cold therapy.
  • Encourage frequent postural changes and supportive seating.

Sub-acute and Improvement Phase

  • To assist with central discomfort, concentrate on directional preference exercises.
  • For lumbar support, introduce motor control and core stability activities.
  • Add cardio exercises like cycling or walking gradually.
  • Focus on strengthening and extending your hamstrings, hips, and back muscles.
  • Stretch your hamstrings, hip flexors, and back extensors.
  • Engage the quadratus lumborum and transversus abdominis.
  • Practice lunges, crawling movements, and bridging.
  • Start with five repetitions and work your way up to ten or fifteen.

Post-operative or Advanced Phase

  • Start treatment four to six weeks after surgery.
  • Pay attention to ergonomics and safe daily practices.
  • Make use of progressive training that is customized for every activity or sport.

Lumbar Radiculopathy: Lower Back Pain

Posted on by Dr Dharam

Introduction

Nerve irritation or compression in the lower spine is known as lumbar radiculopathy. It results in weakness, tingling, or acute leg pain. In a compassionate, contemporary setting, Elite Physiotherapy treats it with cutting-edge diagnosis and premium physiotherapy. The causes, evaluation procedures, and treatment plan customized for our clients are explained in this blog.

Causes of Lumbar Radiculopathy

  • Herniated disc: A herniated disc occurs when a spinal nerve is compressed by mushy disc gel.
  • Spinal stenosis: Nerve roots become irritated by spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal canal.
  • Degenerative changes: Arthritis or bone spurs may cause roots to become compressed.
  • Spondylolisthesis: Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which a vertebra slips and hits nerves.
  • Trauma or injury: Nerve symptoms may be brought on by an abrupt strain or impact.

Assessment at Elite Physiotherapy

Patient history

  • We start by asking specific questions on the location, onset, and nerve-related symptoms of pain.

Neurological screening

  • We assess sensations in dermatomal patterns, reflexes (knee, ankle), and muscular strength (e.g., foot dorsiflexion for L4).

Special test: Straight Leg Raise (SLR)

  • It evaluates inflammation of nerve roots. We raise the leg straight up while the patient is in a supine position. Nerve involvement is indicated by pain radiating below the knee.

Slump test

  • We ask the patient to straighten their leg, flex their neck, and sit up slumped. Nerve tension is confirmed by radiating symptoms that are reproduced.

Functional assessment

  • We look at spinal mobility, gait, posture, and movement patterns.

Physiotherapy Management at Elite Physiotherapy

A. Pain relief and nerve mobilization

  • To ease neurological tension, we employ mild nerve-gliding activities. To lessen inflammation and nerve discomfort, we might also use Class 4 laser, CRET therapy, and interferential therapy.

B. Core and spinal stabilization

  • To build deep stabilizers, we provide safe, focused activities. They prevent nerve inflammation and lower disc pressure.

C. Flexibility and posture correction

  • We stretch the hip flexors, piriformis, and hamstrings. Additionally, we use postural education and guided feedback to retrain posture.

D. Functional re-training

  • We provide ergonomics, walking mechanics, and sit-to-stand guidance. We restore safe, useful movement to everyday activities and athletics.

E. Gradual return-to-activity

  • Our procedures move slowly. Only after nerve sensations subside can we start low-impact aerobic or sport-specific exercises. After that, we work to fully recuperate.

F. Supportive environment

  • Our clinic offers a welcoming, therapeutic environment with state-of-the-art equipment and a knowledgeable staff. In a cozy environment, clients receive targeted treatment.

SI Joint Pain Explained: Advanced Physiotherapy Treatment at Elite Physiotherapy

Posted on by Dr Dharam

Introduction

A common but sometimes misdiagnosed condition affecting the lower back and buttocks is sacroiliac (SI) joint pain. Our specialty at Elite Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre is precise diagnosis and state-of-the-art management of SI joint dysfunction. We guarantee our patients’ functional recovery and long-lasting alleviation by employing cutting-edge modalities and sophisticated physiotherapy procedures.

What Is the SI Joint and Why Does It Matter?

The sacrum, or base of the spine, and the ilium, or pelvic bone, are joined on both sides by the sacroiliac joint. It provides stability and stress absorption and is essential in the transfer of weight between the upper torso and lower limbs. This joint can cause severe pain and limited motion if it becomes irritated, inflamed, or malfunctioning.

Causes of SI Joint Pain

It may arise due to various reasons, including:

  • Traumatic injury (fall, sudden impact)
  • Repetitive stress from sports or prolonged standing
  • Pregnancy-induced ligament laxity
  • Inflammatory conditions like ankylosing spondylitis
  • Leg length discrepancies
  • Postural imbalances or altered biomechanics

Mechanism of Injury

Either hypomobility (limited movement) or hypermobility (excess movement) of the joint are the usual cause of SI joint dysfunction. Both disorders cause inflammation, muscle imbalance, and referred pain by interfering with the body’s natural load distribution.

Signs, Symptoms, and Clinical Features

Patients with SI joint dysfunction often report:

  • Dull or sharp pain in the lower back, buttocks, or posterior thigh
  • Pain worsens with standing, stair climbing, or prolonged sitting
  • Difficulty turning in bed or rising from a seated position
  • Tenderness over the PSIS (posterior superior iliac spine)
  • Sometimes, leg pain without true nerve involvement

Diagnostic Methods at Elite Physiotherapy

At Elite Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre, we rely on detailed clinical assessment, movement analysis, and specialized physical tests to accurately diagnose SI joint dysfunction. Our assessment includes:

Physical and Functional Evaluation

  • Postural and pelvic alignment assessment
  • Gait and functional movement analysis
  • Muscle strength, flexibility, and stability testing

Special Tests for SI Joint Pain

We use a combination of validated orthopedic tests to provoke and isolate SI joint dysfunction:

  • Distraction Test
  • Compression Test
  • Thigh Thrust Test
  • Gaenslen’s Test
  • Sacral Thrust Test
  • FABER (Patrick’s) Test

A positive response in three or more of these tests significantly increases the diagnostic accuracy for SI joint pathology.

Personalized Physiotherapy Treatment at Elite Physiotherapy

Our treatment philosophy at Elite Physiotherapy is personalized, evidence-based, and function-focused. We use an integrated approach that includes:

1. Manual Therapy

  • SI joint mobilization or manipulation
  • Soft tissue release for gluteal, piriformis, and iliopsoas tightness
  • Myofascial release to relieve muscular adhesions

2. Corrective Exercises

Our rehab plans are built to restore stability, mobility, and strength:

  • Core stabilization exercises to support pelvic alignment
  • Pelvic tilt, bridging, and clamshells for gluteal activation
  • Functional movement retraining (lunges, squats) with proper pelvic control
  • Proprioceptive and neuromuscular re-education for joint control and balance

We progress exercises based on patient goals, functional limitations, and sport-specific requirements.

3. High-End Modalities at Elite Physiotherapy

We combine clinical expertise with advanced modalities to accelerate healing:

Shockwave Therapy

  • Useful in chronic SI joint pain due to ligament or tendon irritation. It promotes tissue repair and pain relief.

CRET Therapy (Capacitive and Resistive Electric Transfer)

  • Improves deep tissue healing, reduces inflammation, and enhances blood flow to the sacroiliac region.

Super Inductive System (SIS)

  • Used for pain modulation and muscle activation around the pelvis and lumbar spine. It’s non-invasive and safe for SI joint issues.

High-Intensity Class 4 Laser Therapy

  • Delivers deep photothermal stimulation to reduce pain, relax muscles, and improve circulation in the affected area.

Cryotherapy

  • Effective in managing acute SI joint inflammation by reducing swelling and muscle spasm.

Hydrotherapy (if indicated)

  • For patients with high pain levels or poor tolerance to land-based exercises. Water buoyancy reduces joint stress while allowing movement.

Note: We use these modalities based on condition severity, chronicity, and patient-specific responses. Our approach is always customized.

4. Ergonomic and Postural Correction

  • We educate patients on proper posture, lifting techniques, and workstation modifications to prevent recurrence. For athletes, we tailor sport-specific biomechanical correction strategies.

5. Taping and Bracing

  • We use kinesiology taping or pelvic belts to provide temporary support, especially in hypermobility cases or during pregnancy-related SI joint dysfunction.

TR-Therapy

Posted on by Dr Dharam

Revolutionizing Rehabilitation with TR-Therapy

At Elite Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre, we take pride in continuing to lead the way in medical innovation by providing innovative treatments that transform recovery and rehabilitation. One of the most cutting-edge techniques we use is TR-Therapy, a novel therapy designed to speed up recovery, lessen discomfort, and increase general mobility. Modern technology and individualized treatment are flawlessly combined in this therapy, guaranteeing each patient receives the best possible outcomes.

What is TR-Therapy?

Targeted Radiofrequency Therapy, or TR-Therapy for short, is a non-invasive therapeutic approach that uses high-frequency electromagnetic energy to encourage deep tissue repair. In contrast to conventional treatments, TR-Therapy induces regulated hyperthermia (deep heating) by penetrating deeply into muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues. Significant pain reduction, enhanced circulation, and a quicker recovery are all made possible by this special mechanism. The versatility of TR-Therapy, which can be utilized with or without thermal effects, makes it ideal for a variety of injuries and medical disorders.

How TR-Therapy Works?

A closer look into TR-Therapy’s process reveals that it uses a combination of ergonomic applicators and sophisticated radiofrequency radiation to give targeted treatment:

  1. Capacitive Mode: This mode concentrates on soft tissues and the skin, targeting superficial tissues. It’s perfect for ailments like small sprains or inflammations that need to be treated at the surface level.
  2. Resistive Mode: The resistive mode targets deeper structures, such as tendons, joints, and muscles. It works especially well for joint stiffness, deep muscle injuries, and persistent pain.
  3. Dynamic Impedance Control: During therapy, a state-of-the-art function called Dynamic Impedance Control continuously analyzes tissue impedance. This guarantees the best possible energy delivery, modifying in real time for optimal efficacy and comfort.

Patients frequently report feeling a calming warmth that eases tension and relaxes muscles during therapy. TR-Therapy’s combination of thermal and physical impacts makes it both fun and effective.

Applications of TR-Therapy at Elite Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre

At our center, we include TR-Therapy into all-encompassing treatment programs to address a variety of ailments. Here are a few of the most important uses:

1. Management of Chronic Pain

The quality of life can be greatly impacted by chronic pain, particularly in regions like the shoulders, neck, or lower back. Deep tissue relaxation, a reduction in muscle tension, and long-term pain relief are all benefits of TR-Therapy. For people with ailments like frozen shoulder, cervical spondylosis, or lumbar pain, this makes it a great choice.

2. Improved Muscle Regeneration

Active people and athletes frequently have small tears, overuse injuries, and muscular weariness. TR-Therapy increases oxygen delivery to tissues and circulation, which speeds up muscle recovery. This therapy helps patients return to optimum performance more quickly, whether they are recovering from strenuous training sessions or treating sports-related injuries.

3. Edema and Post-Traumatic Swelling

Edema and swelling can impede the healing process for those recovering from surgery or trauma. The non-thermal application of TR-Therapy efficiently lowers inflammation and encourages lymphatic drainage, which speeds up healing and increases mobility.

4. Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Widespread pain and stiffness can be caused by trigger points in muscles and fascia. TR-Therapy precisely targets these regions, relieving tension and reestablishing regular muscular function. This is particularly helpful for ailments like tennis elbow, IT band dysfunction, and plantar fasciitis.

5. Tendon and Joint Rehabilitation

Rest and rehabilitation must frequently be carefully balanced in cases of joint and tendon injuries. The focused approach of TR-Therapy guarantees efficient therapy without overtaxing the afflicted area. Because of this, it is the preferred treatment for tendinitis, ligament sprains, and arthritis.

Cryotherapy

Posted on by Dr Dharam

Cryotherapy: A Modern Approach to Recovery and Healing at Elite Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre

We at Elite Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre are committed to providing cutting-edge therapies to improve sports performance, manage pain, and speed up recovery. Cryotherapy, a ground-breaking method of wellness and rehabilitation, is one of our cutting-edge treatments. The benefits and science of cryotherapy, including the use of cryoair and cryobaths, are discussed in this article along with how these therapies are included into our treatment plans.

What is Cryotherapy?

Cold treatment, also known as cryotherapy, uses extremely low temperatures to treat patients. This technique has been used for many years to lessen pain, promote healing, and reduce inflammation. By narrowing blood vessels and lowering nerve activity in the afflicted location, cryotherapy helps to reduce swelling and relieve pain.

Cryo baths and cryo air are the two main types of cryotherapy that we use at Elite Physiotherapy. Both approaches work well, and how they are used will rely on the patient’s particular requirements.

Cryo Bath: Submersion Therapy for Full-Body Recovery

Cryo baths, also called ice baths, involve submerging the body (or specific body parts) in cold water, typically maintained between 10°C and 15°C. Many athletes and injury-recovering patients employ this type of hydrotherapy.

Benefits of Cryo Baths:

  1. Reduces Muscle Soreness: After training or competition, athletes frequently choose cryo baths because they are a very effective way to relieve delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).
  2. Improves Circulation: The cold water makes blood vessels contract; these vessels then expand as the body temperature returns to normal, increasing blood flow and eliminating waste products from metabolism.
  3. Reduces Inflammation: Cryo baths hasten the healing process by lowering swelling in strained or injured muscles.
  4. Enhances Mental Recovery: The shock of cold water triggers the release of endorphins, elevates mood, and lowers stress levels.

At Elite Physiotherapy, we provide personalized cryo bath treatments to guarantee each patient’s utmost comfort and efficiency. Our cryo baths fulfill your specific needs, whether you are recovering from intense physical activity or a sports injury.

Cryo Air: Targeted Cooling for Precision Therapy

Cryoair therapy targets specific body parts by delivering cooled, dry air through specialized equipment. Without the requirement for submersion in water, the air temperature can drop as low as -30°C to -60°C, producing a powerful cooling effect.

Benefits of Cryo Air Therapy:

  1. Localized Treatment: For sprains, tendinitis, or joint pain, cryo air is perfect for focusing on certain wounds or trouble spots.
  2. Comfortable and Non-Invasive: Patients who are sensitive to cold or wet circumstances may find cryo-air therapy to be a comfortable alternative to ice packs or cryo baths because it does not require direct contact with water.
  3. Fast Recovery: Usually lasting five to fifteen minutes, sessions provide quick results.
  4. Enhances Skin and Tissue Health: The deep cooling promotes the formation of collagen and increases skin suppleness, which is advantageous for the healing process following surgery.

Our cutting-edge cryo-air equipment at Elite Physiotherapy enables accurate temperature control and application, guaranteeing that patients receive the best care possible for their conditions.

Why Choose Cryotherapy at Elite Physiotherapy?

At Elite Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre, we provide unmatched care by fusing state-of-the-art technology with our extensive expertise. The purpose of our cryotherapy treatments is to:

  • Accelerate Recovery: Cryotherapy can help you get back to your activities more quickly, whether you’re an athlete or someone who has chronic pain.
  • Enhance Performance: Frequent cryotherapy procedures can maximize general physical performance, decrease weariness, and increase circulation.
  • Personalized Care: After evaluating each patient’s health, we suggest the best cryotherapy technique, whether cryo air, cryo bath, or a combination of the two.

What to Expect During Your Session
