Sports Medicine, Orthopaedic & Rehabilitation Centre

Sportsmed Biologic is a sports medicine practice providing a world class level of service to patients and referring practitioners.

We focus on cutting edge evidence based cellular therapies combined with elite level rehabilitation and aim to deliver an integrated sports medicine practice with a difference.

At Sportsmed Biologic the treating specialist supervising your care also performs, if needed, the appropriate interventional procedure.

This allows a tight control of the process.

It allows the specialist to maximise and tailor your treatment according to your individual injury profile.

We also provide elite level physiotherapy and rehabilitation to maximise your response to any treatment provided.

In providing a holistic approach to injury we believe this gives you the best chance of recovery.

Led by the Director of Medical Services Dr. Philip Bloom, we bring together an experienced team of Sports Physicians and allied health practitioners.

Our sports physicians are experienced in working with elite athletes as well as non-elite individuals of all ages. They are trained in the use of ultrasound and ultrasound guided interventions, having attended both local and international training programs.

Referrals for a specialist opinion are required from your General Practitioner.

The injury rehabilitation program is led by the Sports Physician and is coordinated by a Personal Rehabilitation Coordinator. This ensures the your ongoing care is completely individualised and targeted to your needs.

The rehabilitation is tailored to your individual injury risk, activity profile, aims and ultimate goals.

Initial and ongoing assessments include recording validated patient outcome measures. This allows the effect of any intervention to be quantified which helps guide your individual treatment process. It also allows you and your treating physician to visualise your progress clearly.

OUR THERAPIES

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy involves the delivery of high intensity ultrasound waves through a special handpiece. The therapy was initially used in assisting the removal of kidney stones via external application on the skin.

Cortisone Injections

Sportsmed Biologic provide Corticosteroid injections to help reduce inflammation in or around tendons and joints.

Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy involves injecting an otherwise non-pharmacological and non-active irritant solution into the body for the purpose of strengthening weakened connective tissue and alleviating musculoskeletal pain.

Viscosupplementation

Viscosupplementation refers to the intra-articular introduction of liquids based on hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in high concentrations in the synovial fluid of joints.

PRP Therapy

In Platelet Rich Plasma PRP therapy, blood is drawn from the patient and is used to treat musculoskeletal injuries. The principle is similar to Autologous Blood Therapy but the blood is processed to concentrate the factors which promote healing.

Orthokine Therapy

Orthokine Therapy is a form of injection therapy, which harnesses and enhances the bodies natural defence mechanisms against inflammation to reduce pain.

DolorClast® High Power Laser

Musculoskeletal injuries are described by patients as highly painful, especially in their acute phase. Unfortunately opioid medication or sedative are still too often prescribed despite the risk of adverse events. To avoid any addictive form of pain management, EMS has developed the DolorClast® High Power Laser to offer a non-invasive, effective yet safe solution to patients suffering from acute phase or those having a low-tolerance threshold of pain.

Orthocell

Orthocell allows us to treat tendon conditions such as Achilles and Patella tendinopathy using your own healthy tendon cells.

Stem Cell Therapy

Sportsmed Biologic use Mesenchymal stem cell therapy to treat selected joint and tendon problems. Call us today.

High Volume Injection

A high volume injection is a procedure performed to treat a tendon injury that occurs as a result of severe strain being placed on the tendon. During the healing process following a tendon injury, tiny blood vessels grow into the tendon bringing with them new nerves as well. These nerves are responsible for the sensation of pain related to the tendon injury or tendinopathy.

nSTRIDE®

nSTRIDE® APS is an autologous protein solution (APS) containing anti-inflammatory cytokines and anabolic growth factors. It is one of the latest biologic regenerative treatments used in treating knee osteoarthritis.

Pentosan Polysulphate Sodium (PPS)

Pentosan Polysulphate Sodium (PPS) is a semi-synthetic drug manufactured in Europe to produce a product that mimics glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). These complex carbohydrates have a regulatory role in the body through interacting with proteins involved with inflammation. PPS also has a mild antithrombotic (anti-clotting) activity.
