Joint Clicking
Joint cracking is a common symptom which does not usually cause any pain to the individual. The cause has been debated and no specific reason has been agreed upon. If a joint is stiff, painful and clicks, then a medical opinion is advised. Physiotherapists at acephysiosports.com are experienced at assessing joint integrity. Please contact us or call +65 81535374.
Causes of Joint Clicking
There are several theories as to why joints click. Some of the most common causes include:
Gasses escaping from the synovial fluid within the joint.
Ligaments and tendons ‘snapping’ back into place.
Arthritic changes and injuries to the joint.
The first two causes should not be painful, but if the clicking is accompanied by pain, please contact us at acephysiosports.com or call +65 81535374 for an expert assessment.
Physiotherapy and Joint Clicking
Physiotherapists are qualified health care professionals who are experienced at assessing joints of the human body. If pain, discomfort, swelling or heat is experienced alongside clicking joints, an assessment would be beneficial. This can help identify the source of the pain and rule out or prevent any injuries that could potentially worsen. The physiotherapists at acephysiosports.com have extensive experience and knowledge, enabling them to provide a high-quality, personalised service.
What Physiotherapy Treatments can be expected for Joint Clicking?
Depending on the cause of the clicking within the joint, treatment will vary accordingly. If the clicking is due to arthritis or an internal joint injury, physiotherapy will aim to reduce pain, promote healing, and improve joint integrity. Some of the treatments that may be used include:
Electrotherapy
Acupuncture
Range of movement exercises
Strengthening exercises
Self management strategies
Proprioceptive exercises
These treatments will only be provided based on the physiotherapist’s clinical judgement following a thorough initial assessment.
Summary
Joint clicking can be completely normal and often has no cause for concern. However, if pain or discomfort accompanies the clicking, it is advisable to seek a professional opinion. The physiotherapists at Acephysiosports.com are experienced professionals who can deliver a high-quality service, providing a thorough assessment and a personalised treatment plan. Please contact us or call +65 81535374 to arrange an appointment.
