Autumn Days! Today is the first day of Autumn here in the Southern Hemisphere, and whilst it is still very warm it marks the start of the cooler weather. For some people with active scars this may come as a relief - the decreasing temperatures reduces the blood flow to their scars and can make them less full and itchy. For people with more mature scars it can signal the start of dryer skin, and the need to moisturise scars (which don’t have sweat glands anymore) to stop them from cracking and feeling itchy from dryness. A good scar therapy regime in combination with your scar treatment can really help to control these symptoms. If you would like more information on scar therapy, scar treatment or to schedule a consultation with one of our surgeons contact us on: (08) 6166 3739 or [email protected] #thescarclinicperth #scar #laser #co2laser #keloid #acnescars #acnescartreatment #plasticsurgery #laserscartreatment #scarmanagement #surgicalscars #scars #keloidscar #scartherapy #scarmoisturiser #dryskin #dryskincare #dryskintreatment Helen Douglas Suzanne Rea Anna Goodwin Walters

Understanding this condition is the first step to managing it effectively!   #ProlapseAwareness #PelvicHealth #WomenHealth #HealthEducation #AustraliaHealth #theelitehub

Diabetic Foot & Wound Care: A Team Effort for Healing When a patient comes to us with a diabetic foot wound, we know it's a critical situation requiring a comprehensive approach. That's why we collaborate closely with our wound clinic, taking a multidisciplinary approach to promote healing. 🩹 In the initial stages, we focus on offloading the wound to reduce pressure and encourage tissue repair. Specialized diabetic offloading shoes like the Procare Remedy Pro DJO or Ossur DH play a vital role in this process. 👣 As the wound heals, we transition to custom-molded insoles to provide ongoing support and pressure redistribution, tailored to the patient's unique foot structure and needs. 🚶♀️ In the final stages, we often recommend Dr. Comfort shoes to complement the insoles. These shoes offer extra depth for a comfortable fit, a protective toe box, soft interiors, and breathable materials – all crucial features for people with diabetes. Remember, every patient's journey is different, and orthotic treatment is always personalized to their specific needs. #diabeticfootcare #woundcare #orthotics #teamwork #healing #DrComfort #DJOProcareRemedyPro #Ossur

💦How the bladder works: 😟The bladder is a storage organ that sits in your pelvis. Urine (wee) is made by your kidneys and is stored in the bladder until you are ready to empty it. 🚽🚻When you go to the toilet your bladder outlet muscles (urethral sphincter and pelvic floor) relax and your bladder contracts (squeezes) emptying the urine. 🧠Your brain controls your bladder by sending messages through the nerves in your spinal cord to tell it when to hold on and when to empty. 💦BLADDER CONTROL PROBLEMS: 🚻In Australia one in three women, one in ten men and one in five children have a bladder control problem. People who experience accidental or involuntary loss of urine from the bladder may be suffering from urinary incontinence. 📞Call our clinic 8342 5593 to make an appointment to SEEK HELP In many cases incontinence can be prevented, better managed and even cured. #bladder #incontinence #bladderproblems #wee #urinaryincontinence #menshealth #womenshealth #manage #managable #prevention #cure #physio #physiotherapist #bladdercontrol #bladdercontrolprobelms #physiotherapy #northadelaide
