What do you think of when you hear the word ‘inflammation’?

For many people their immediate response is that inflammation is negative – you might be thinking ‘pain’, ‘ageing’ or ‘disease’.

But did you know that inflammation is actually an important part of our body’s immune response AGAINST injury and infection?

While sometimes uncomfortable, this acute inflammation is a protective mechanism and a VITAL part of the healing process.

The negative problems we associate with inflammation are when it overreacts, overstaying its welcome and become chronic inflammation.

For our next series we will be deep diving on acute inflammation as it relates to musculoskeletal injury, and the role it plays in healing and recovery.

We can’t wait to get into the detail of how inflammation works and we think you’ll learn a lot during this series.

Stay tuned!

Our philosophy at Form Osteopathy…

We believe in listening to our clients’ needs and goals, and understand that everybody is different - with different lifestyles and personal preferences.

Some clients want to understand the mechanisms of their condition; for others they want peace of mind from a professional that their pain isn’t an indication of something more sinister. Some clients want active solutions outside of treatment to help the healing process, and others simply prefer more treatment sessions even though they know therapeutic exercises would speed up their recovery.

There are a range of ways that clients want to engage with osteopathy and understanding each clients’ unique needs is an essential part of our approach.

We also place much importance on communication with the other professionals caring for our clients. Knowing when to refer a client for imaging, to communicate with their GP, to discuss exercise protocol with their PT or refer to a specialist is an essential part in caring for our clients’ overall wellbeing.

If a client has a strong exercise background, we can modify training programs to assist in recovery – whether this be specific exercise modifications, regression or progression exercises to return the client to full mobility. Likewise, we guide our clients with no exercise experience through the rehabilitation process to ensure they feel comfortable and know what they are doing.

✨ 5 key takeaways from the Osteo Sports Network Sport Medicine Summit ✨

We are dropping our 5 key takeaways from the Osteo Sports NetworkOsteo Sports Network summit – our final takeaway is if looking to lose weight, focus on fibre…

5. Weight loss? Focus on fibre

Dieting can be a challenge and there are many different dieting techniques that work for different individuals. We found this study mentioned by one of the speakers from the summit really interesting and a simple strategy for assisting with weight loss.

For those looking to lose weight, one study suggests that simply aiming to eat 30 grams of fibre each day can help you lose weight, lower your blood pressure and improve your body’s response to insulin just as effectively as a more complicated diet.

✨ 5 key takeaways from the Osteo Sports Network Sport Medicine Summit ✨

We are dropping our 5 key takeaways from the summit – coming up next is Elmiron injections…

3. Elmiron injections

There’s ongoing research into injections of Pentosan Polysulfate (Elmiron) to lower blood lipid levels. This is due to a link between dyslipidaemia (low or elevated lipids in the blood) and osteoarthritis.

It is also believed that Elmiron may reduce inflammation in the joints by modulating cytokines and enzymes that degrade cartilage.

Elmiron is another example of a drug that has long had use in one area, but researchers have since realised it’s impact on other conditions (like Ozempic traditionally being used for diabetes and now also for weight loss).

Traditionally Elmiron was used to manage high cholesterol, but it seems to also inhibit pro-inflammatory enzymes/substances.

Now researchers are trialling it for people with osteoarthritis as an intramuscular injection to help with pain.

It is generally a very safe product that is potentially helpful in several ways.

✨ 5 key takeaways from the Osteo Sports Network Sport Medicine Summit ✨

We are dropping our 5 key takeaways from the summit – next up, nerve ablations…

2. Nerve ablations

Radiofrequency denervation (ablation) can be highly effective for pain and may offer relief for up to 24 months for some patients.

A nerve ablation should be considered in certain scenarios (i.e. if an individual is on a wait list for a joint replacement).

To perform a nerve ablation, a radiofrequency probe is inserted via fluoroscopic guidance (sometimes via ultrasound) adjacent to sensory nerves.

It generates radiofrequency energy, which manifests as ionic heat typically ranging from 80 to 90 degrees for 120 seconds.

This effectively damages the nerve and stunts the sensory feedback from the joint tissue.

A nerve ablation won’t impact motor control of the area and peripheral nerves are regenerative so nerve function will eventually return (along with the pain) after a period of time.

✨ 5 key takeaways from the Osteo Sports Network Sport Medicine Summit✨

We’ll be dropping our 5 key takeaways from the summit over the next 5 posts, starting with injectables for osteoarthritis related pain…

1. Injectables for osteoarthritis (OA) related pain

There are 3 key injections for OA pain. These include cortisone, PRP and hyaluronic acid (HLA) injections.

There is consensus among orthopaedic surgeons that doing cortisone injections into a joint isn’t the most favourable option as it can cause thinning of the cartilage.

HLA on the other hand, is a complex sugar molecule that occurs naturally in our bodies, within cartilage and the synovial fluid. It acts as a shock absorber and lubricant, so that joints move smoothly over each other.

Because HLA is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies, it can be administered repeatedly as a pain-relief injection without any known side effects, and provides short-term relief for OA.

Yet studies indicate that PRP is the superior option to HLA and cortisone injections (these studies are related to knee OA specifically. Research for hip OA is less clear but trending in this direction).

PRP is an autologous blood product containing concentrated platelets, growth factors and anti-inflammatory cytokines that promote healing and regeneration.
PRP is chondroprotective, so although it can’t regrow cartilage, it can prevent further cartilage degradation.

These injections are repeatable (probably yearly) though unfortunately they aren’t currently covered by Medicare, making them more expensive.

Ultimately, each injection has their own merit depending on the patient and their circumstances, though it is likely that HLA and PRP injections will not cause any long-term side effects, unlike cortisone injections.

Did you know that while was studying osteopathy at uni, he spent his spare time working for boutique Melbourne landscape construction company And although his experience in horticulture hasn't reflected in his care for house plants (IYKYK), he has done a reasonable job of keeping the new clinic plants alive!
