An emerging trend in global health, Telehealth refers to the delivery of health care services via a number of modes of telecommunication, including instant messaging, email, voice and video calls.

Rapid advances in telecommunication technology, and a large percentage of the population owning smartphones, tablets and computers, has enabled health professionals to adapt their services to be provided to those who are unable to access them in person- whether it be due to living in regional areas, lack of transport, or illness.

A growing number of clinical studies investigating the effectiveness of Telehealth in the delivery of health care services have shown that it is safe and secure, cost effective, and can in many cases (not all) be equally as effective as an in-room consultation.

Wanneroo Physiotherapy is pleased to be able to offer Telehealth voice and video consultations to our current patients and the broader community as of Monday 23rd March.

Dry needling is a treatment technique used to treat myofascial pain- pain that is of muscular or fascial origin. It involves the insertion of a fine filament needle (0.25mm diameter, equivalent to the combined thickness of 2-3 human hairs) through the skin into the underlying muscle to target myofascial trigger points- which are commonly referred as “knots” within a muscle.

There is an increasing wave of scientific evidence to suggest that surgical and medical management of persistent pain is no more effective than weight loss and physical activity in managing a range of conditions that include shoulder impingement, osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee and hip, and lower back pain.

The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) recently released new guidelines that recommended non-pharmaceutical, non-surgical approaches in the management of hip and knee OA. Furthermore, they strongly recommended against the use of opioid medications, acknowledging the low quality of evidence that supports their use. They were also critical of an over-reliance on costly and unnecessary medical imaging, stating that it was often misinterpreted and lead to risky and harmful interventions. Similar approaches have also been recommended following studies into the most effective management of shoulder impingement and lower back pain.

The human body is a machine, and like any other machine- using our cars as a prime example, the more “kilometres put on the engine” the more wear and tear we are going to see on its individual parts. We refer to this degenerative process as age-related change, a normal part of the ageing process that you could consider akin to developing wrinkles on the inside. Much like our cars, this is a natural process that occurs from putting “kilometres on the engine”, and much like our cars, our bodies can continue to function normally despite age-related changes, often without our knowledge that they even exist. There is a common misconception that persistent pain equals damage, and this thought may lead to referral for medical imaging such as X-ray or MRI scans to investigate further. Medical imaging techniques are used to detect anatomical abnormalities, which will inevitably be seen in most scans due to normal age-related changes. These abnormalities may then be incorrectly considered as the source of an individuals’ pain. This is the MODERN MEDICAL TRAP.
