Which specialist to see for plantar fasciitisWhich specialist to see for plantar fasciitis
Most plantar fasciitis cases arise from movement imbalances, not structural foot problems. Physiotherapy is the fastest first-line treatment; specialist input is needed only if conservative management does not work.Most plantar fasciitis cases arise from movement imbalances, not structural foot problems.

ChondroFiller, a collagen scaffold, increases knee function scores by 30 points at three years — roughly double the clinical significance threshold — but no large independent randomised trial has been completed.ChondroFiller, a collagen scaffold, increases knee function scores by 30 points at three years — roughly double the clinical significance threshold — but no large independent randomised trial has been completed.
What to assess before your rotator cuff appointmentWhat to assess before your rotator cuff appointment
Roughly a quarter of adults over 50 have a rotator cuff tear, yet two-thirds cause no pain and only one in fifteen ever seek treatment.Roughly a quarter of adults over 50 have a rotator cuff tear, yet two-thirds cause no pain and only one in fifteen ever seek treatment.
ChondroFiller duration vs hyaluronic acid and ArthrosamidChondroFiller duration vs hyaluronic acid and Arthrosamid
ChondroFiller's repair tissue outlasts the scaffold itself: the collagen dissolves within two years, but tissue built by the patient's own progenitor cells persists for three to five years.ChondroFiller's repair tissue outlasts the scaffold itself: the collagen dissolves within two years, but tissue built by the patient's own progenitor cells persists for three to five years.

Hip pain after knee replacementHip pain after knee replacement
Hip pain after total knee replacement can result from surgery altering weight distribution through the leg, or from pre-existing hip arthritis masked by severe knee pain. A 2017 case series identified 12 patients who underwent knee surgery without relief, only to discover the hip was the true cause; hip replacementHip pain after total knee replacement can result from surgery altering weight distribution through the leg, or from pre-existing hip arthritis masked by severe knee pain. A 2017 case series identified 12 patients who underwent knee surgery without relief, only to discover the hip was the true cause; hip replacement subsequently resolved symptoms in 14 of 17.
Questions to ask before a ChondroFiller injectionQuestions to ask before a ChondroFiller injection
ChondroFiller is an injectable collagen scaffold that prompts the body's cells to rebuild cartilage as it degrades—unlike hyaluronic acid, which lubricates, or permanent fillers, which cushion. Delivered as an outpatient ultrasound-guided procedure, published data show 30-point IKDC improvement at 12 months, though long-term durability beyond two years remains unestablished.ChondroFiller is an injectable collagen scaffold that prompts the body's cells to rebuild cartilage as it degrades—unlike hyaluronic acid, which lubricates, or permanent fillers, which cushion.

Lateral hip pain from TFL strainLateral hip pain from TFL strain
The tensor fasciae latae (TFL), a small hip muscle, fires continuously to stabilise the pelvis during every step and single-leg stance. This constant demand causes cumulative overload rather than acute injury; the resulting dull ache builds gradually and closely mimics symptoms from the gluteus medius or ITB.The tensor fasciae latae (TFL), a small hip muscle, fires continuously to stabilise the pelvis during every step and single-leg stance.

ChondroFiller Injection for Shoulder Cartilage DefectsChondroFiller Injection for Shoulder Cartilage Defects
ChondroFiller is an ultrasound-guided collagen scaffold that recruits the patient's own progenitor cells to repair focal shoulder cartilage defects; early observational data reports marked pain reduction and functional improvement from the outpatient procedure.ChondroFiller is an ultrasound-guided collagen scaffold that recruits the patient's own progenitor cells to repair focal shoulder cartilage defects; early observational data reports marked pain reduction and functional improvement from the outpatient procedure.
When Achilles tendinopathy needs a specialistWhen Achilles tendinopathy needs a specialist
Achilles tendinopathy has two anatomically distinct subtypes — noninsertional and insertional — which respond differently to treatment: noninsertional cases typically improve with physiotherapy loading programmes, while insertional disease at the bone-tendon junction often resists standard rehabilitation and requires specialist input sooner.Achilles tendinopathy has two anatomically distinct subtypes — noninsertional and insertional — which respond differently to treatment: noninsertional cases typically improve with physiotherapy loading programmes, while insertional disease at the bone-tendon junction often resists standard rehabilitation and requires specialist input sooner.
ChondroFiller injection for hip cartilage defectsChondroFiller injection for hip cartilage defects
ChondroFiller is an injectable collagen scaffold placed into the hip via ultrasound guidance that recruits the patient's own progenitor cells to differentiate into repair cartilage; the procedure is completed in an outpatient clinic without surgical debridement or general anaesthesia.ChondroFiller is an injectable collagen scaffold placed into the hip via ultrasound guidance that recruits the patient's own progenitor cells to differentiate into repair cartilage; the procedure is completed in an outpatient clinic without surgical debridement or general anaesthesia.
When chest-wall pain needs specialist assessmentWhen chest-wall pain needs specialist assessment
Intercostal strain pain typically lasts two to three months, but breathing's constant mechanical demand extends healing beyond comparable muscle injuries; pain that stalls, worsens, or changes character signals the need for specialist assessment.Intercostal strain pain typically lasts two to three months, but breathing's constant mechanical demand extends healing beyond comparable muscle injuries; pain that stalls, worsens, or changes character signals the need for specialist assessment.
