Chirokind & Rehabilitation Clinic focuses on maintaining health for people of all ages, helping patients pain and prevent disease.
The shoulder joint is a very complex joint. The shoulder is a ball and socket joint, meaning it allows back, forward, sideways and rotational movements. Due to this extensive range of available movement, shoulder injuries can be complex and at times may require surgery.
Some of the most common reasons for shoulder surgery include:
At The Physio Bunker, our Physio team in Birtinya and Maroochydore are excellent at rehabilitating these injuries and surgeries. We have an objective criteria that we use to ensure we don’t miss any aspect of your shoulder surgery rehab and to ensure you are moving forward as expected. We also have extra criteria for our sports patients and athletes – we make your rehab specific to your sport and ensure you can do everything you need to for your sport at a high performance level.
If you are unsure about whether you need surgery, or if you have been told you need surgery but aren’t sure, book in with one of our team so we can give you a second opinion or provide some education so you can make an informed decision.
If you are private paying (i.e. paying for our services yourself or with your Private Health Fund) or covered by Work Cover, NDIS or a Home Care Package you DO NOT need a referral. If you are a DVA or Medicare patient, you will need a referral or EPC referral from a GP.
We sure do! Bring your private health insurance card with you and you can claim on the spot with our HICAPs machine. This means that you will only need to pay the gap at the time of your appointment.
Your initial appointment will involve a lengthy discussion about your concerns. Your therapist will then need to get some more information about your condition by performing some objective tests and getting some baseline measures. This enables for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan to be formed. If time permits, you will start your treatment as well in the first session!
If you have had any scans or reports done in relation to your condition, it is really helpful if you can bring them with you. You should also bring or wear comfortable, loose clothing that allows access to the area of your body needing assessment and treatment.
Let us help you feel your best and be your best! Whether that be reducing pain, or getting back to elite level sport, we've got you covered.
