What is Tendinopathy?

  Tendons are tough, cord-like fibres that connect muscle to bone at your joints. They act like the guy ropes of a tent to hold the muscle in place. A tendon injury may seem to happen suddenly, but it is usually the result of many tiny tears to the tendon that have happened over time. …

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” –Martin Luther King, Jr. #blacklivesmatter #blackouttuesday
We are back and available for face to face consultations from 8th June! As well as The London clinic, Chiswick Medical Centre and The Institute of Sport & Exercise Health (ISEH) we will also be opening up a new clinic at Chelsea Outpatient Centre on 280 Kings Road. We offer diagnostic ultrasonography, specialist blood tests, MRI scans and image guided injections. In addition. we will be continuing online and telephone consultations, which means we can review your musculoskeletal problems no matter where you are based! Whether you have a frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, runner's knee or anything else more complicated, we are here for you! #tests #images #review #online #diagnostics #specialist #doctors #clinics #chronicpain #exercise #painmanagement #postcovid19
As lockdown measures ease, we will gradually be re-opening for face to face consultations. In the meantime we have been seeing patients virtually via telemedicine. Patients have had a number or questions related to COVID-19. Here we try and address some of them: Non steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) and C19 - concerns originated from a comment made by a French minister - subsequent review demonstrated there was no evidence of harm - can take nsaids if needed ACE inhibitors (ACE-i) and C19 - review shows no harm, safe to continue taking for HTN Vaccine trials - Oxford vaccine is an adenovirus DNA based vaccine in clinical trial phase 1 currently. Start of next year vaccine may be ready. - USA has a RNA based clinical trial - confident that an effective vaccine will be produced Hydroxychlorine - very small study in France showed it may have efficacy, but poorly designed study - no evidence at present it is effective but many trials are being undertaken, including the Recovery trial in UK Remdesiver - RNA antiviral, and c19 is RNA virus - own study in China demonstrating reduction in symptoms but not mortality - USA has completed a trial but results not published yet - part of recovery trial Plasma Antibodies - being trialled, early stages - interesting therapeutic approach - evidence is more severe infections produce more antibodies, so is probably better for donors to be from recovered severely unwell patients Vitamin D - theory that vitamin D deficiency is more prevalent in BAME and elderly populations, and these are the higher mortality groups - no cure evidence supplementation is of benefit, but would be an area of interest as part of a clinical trial - vitamin D linked to many diseases. Recent trial demonstrated no link between vitamin D and diabetes #covid_19 #covid19 #covid #covi̇d19 #covıd19 #coronavirus #corona #flattenthecurve #flatteningthecurve #stayalert #lowvitamind #vitamind #nsaid #aceinhibitors #doctors #medicine
Great infographic to show why physical activity needs to be encouraged in the general population now more than ever before. SEM clinicians will be needed to help prescribe exercise to those with co-morbidities to ensure that their immune systems are in good shape in the event of a second wave of COVID #covid19 #medicine #immunesystem #exerciseismedicine #flattenthecurve
One of the hardest yet most rewarding aspects of Lockdown is staying at home with the kids! Whether it’s babies, toddlers, teenagers or even young adults, living 24/7 with them has its own challenges. Our doctors at Panacea Health have been home schooling their toddlers whilst also redeploying to the NHS frontline in the war on COVID. They have found the need for constant attention (and feeding!) from their kids has been offset by quality time bonding and learning more than they ever thought they could about their children and themselves. Suggestions for home schooling online for reception class: -BBC Bitesize -National Oak Academy -Twinkl -Home huddle Life after coronavirus will never be the same as before. Some changes will be for the better and some for the worse. Hopefully teachers, nursery workers and teaching assistants will get the recognition that they truly deserve. Most importantly parents please remember that when you’re tired and overwhelmed by constantly attending to your child’s needs that they are going through the same uncertainty and anguish that you are. Nobody is to blame for the unprecedented times we find ourselves in. So when you’re frustrated, annoyed and at the end of your tether, please don’t take it out on the kids. #covid_19 #covid19 #covid #covıd19 #coronavirus #corona #lockdown #lockdown2020 #lockdownlife #homeschool #homeschooling #homeschoollife #toddlerlife #children #reception #bbcbitesizedaily
Even though we’re in lockdown, it’s still possible to exercise daily- and in isolation. Guidelines suggest 30 minutes of exercise 5x weekly, but we would recommend taking advantage of the 1hr permitted every day to go out and enjoy the sunshine, whether you’re having a walk, run or bike ride. Exercise is important for both physical and mental health and maintaining our health and well-being has never been more important. #coronavirus #covid19 #exercise #isolation #mentalhealthawareness #physicaldistancing #exerciseismedicine #running #cycling #walking
