Specialist & Regenerative Medicine
Hip Impingement (FAI)
Hip impingement occurs when the bones of the hip joint don’t move smoothly together, causing pain, stiffness and reduced mobility. Left untreated, it can lead to ongoing joint damage and arthritis.
Treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment and may include physiotherapy, chiropractic care and targeted rehabilitation. Where appropriate, at Prestidge Chiropractic our Sports & Exercise Physician can discuss advanced regenerative medicine options designed to support healing, reduce pain and improve function.
Gluteus Medius Tendinopathy
Gluteus Medius Tendinopathy is a common cause of pain on the outside of the hip, often making walking, climbing stairs and exercise uncomfortable.
Most patients improve with physiotherapy and progressive strengthening. For persistent symptoms, our Sports & Exercise Physician can assess whether regenerative medicine treatments may help support tendon healing and recovery.
Hip Bursitis
Hip bursitis causes pain and tenderness over the outside of the hip due to inflammation of the fluid-filled bursa. It commonly affects active individuals and those who spend prolonged periods sitting.
Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, improving movement and strengthening surrounding muscles. Where appropriate, regenerative medicine may be considered to assist recovery.
Hip Labral Tear
A hip labral tear involves damage to the cartilage that stabilises the hip joint, often causing pain, clicking and restricted movement.
Our team provides comprehensive assessment, rehabilitation and, when indicated, specialist regenerative medicine options to help manage symptoms and support joint health.
Iliotibial (IT) Band Syndrome
IT Band Syndrome is an overuse injury commonly affecting runners and active individuals, causing pain along the outside of the knee or thigh.
Treatment includes physiotherapy, movement correction and strengthening. For ongoing symptoms, our Sports & Exercise Physician can assess whether regenerative medicine is appropriate.
Knee Fat Pad Impingement
Knee Fat Pad Impingement occurs when the soft tissue beneath the kneecap becomes irritated, causing pain when walking, standing or straightening the knee.
Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, improving movement patterns and restoring knee function. Regenerative medicine may be recommended for persistent cases.
Knee Ligament Injuries
Ligament injuries range from mild sprains to complete tears and can cause pain, swelling and instability.
Our clinicians provide expert diagnosis, rehabilitation and, where appropriate, advanced regenerative medicine options to support healing and recovery.
Knee Meniscus Tears
The meniscus cushions and stabilises the knee. Tears can occur through injury or age-related wear, leading to pain, swelling and locking of the joint.
Treatment often begins with physiotherapy. For selected patients, regenerative medicine may be considered to support joint health and recovery.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a common condition affecting the joints, causing pain, stiffness and reduced mobility.
Our multidisciplinary team combines physiotherapy, chiropractic care and Sports & Exercise Medicine to develop personalised treatment plans. Advanced regenerative medicine options may also be considered where clinically appropriate.
Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee)
Patellar Tendinopathy causes pain below the kneecap and is common in running and jumping sports.
Treatment includes progressive strengthening and load management. When symptoms persist, regenerative medicine may help support tendon healing.
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome causes pain around or behind the kneecap, particularly when climbing stairs, squatting or sitting for long periods.
Treatment focuses on improving movement, muscle strength and joint function. Specialist regenerative medicine may be recommended in selected cases.
Piriformis Syndrome
Piriformis Syndrome occurs when the piriformis muscle irritates the sciatic nerve, causing buttock pain and pain that may radiate down the leg.
Our team provides comprehensive assessment and rehabilitation, with regenerative medicine options available for persistent or complex presentations.
