Does joint pain interfere with your daily activities, stop you exercising or interrupt your sleep? Are you planning a walking holiday or overseas trip?
In normal joints, cartilage protects the end of our bones. As we age, joint cartilage can wear out, a process known as osteoarthritis. Worn out cartilage results in increased pain, and reduced ability to do the things we used to do.
Quantum Medical Imaging is locally owned and operated, with clinics in Nambour, Noosa and Tewantin. Their team of specialist Radiologists, technicians and administrative staff provide high quality, affordable healthcare to the local community.
Following a referral from your GP or Specialist, Quantum Medical Imaging can diagnose worn out joint cartilage using state-of-the-art x-ray, CT or ultrasound.
Quantum Medical Imaging bulk bill these scans, resulting in no out-of-pocket cost to you.
Treatments for joint pain include strengthening the muscles around your joints, taking pain medication, steroid joint injections, or joint replacement surgery. Hyaluronic acid joint injections are a newer treatment for painful joints. Hyaluronic acid joint injections can increase joint lubrication, reduce inflammation and reduce pain in up to 80 per cent of patients with worn out joint cartilage.
Hyaluronic acid injections may relieve your joint pain for six months or more.
Following a referral from your GP or Specialist, Quantum Medical Imaging bulk bill hyaluronic acid joint injections, resulting in no out-of-pocket cost to you.
