Assessments

At GC Sports Med, we specialise in the comprehensive assessment and treatment of both acute and chronic musculoskeletal and sport-related conditions.

The Assessment Process

Accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of effective treatment. Our assessment process includes:

Biomechanical Assessment: Evaluating movement patterns, joint stability, and muscular function.
Risk Factor Assessment: Identifying underlying risk factors such as overuse, improper training techniques, or anatomical predispositions.
Injury & Training History: Understanding past injuries, activity levels, and any changes in training environments or surfaces.
Surface History: Investigating changes in playing surfaces that could contribute to injury development.
Ultrasound & Imaging: Utilising precision ultrasound-guided diagnostics to confirm clinical findings.

The Role of Cortisone in Diagnosis & Treatment

Cortisone injections serve both a diagnostic and therapeutic role in managing musculoskeletal conditions:

Diagnostic Use: If a cortisone injection provides significant temporary relief, it confirms that the targeted area is the primary pain source.

Therapeutic Use: It can reduce inflammation and pain, particularly in conditions such as tendinopathies, bursitis, and joint inflammation.
