Answers to patient questions

• Knee pain
  Hi, I think I sprained my left knee. So, I got a knee support from the pharmacy to support recovery. As a self-diagnosis, I have no problems walking, the inner side ligaments seem to be healing better, but even after 8 weeks, the knee still feel sore. I can swim, but not really run and certainly not do any contact sports. It's probably best to finally see a general doctor. After seeing a general doctor, in case it is necessary, what could be the possible next steps to investigate what is wrong with the knee?

  • Hi, I think that in a case like yours it is first necessary to investigate and seek out the causes of the pain either through your GP or, if you are an athlete, through a sports doctor. And it is based on the diagnosis that we can establish a treatment plan or appropriate advice. Now you can also consult an osteopath who will be able to assess your problem and direct you where needed. .

• Lumbago treatment
  Tendinite, nerf sciatique je dois consulter une kinésithérapeute ou un ostéopathe?

  • Bonjour, comme le diagnostic n'est pas précis c'est toujours mieux de consulter en premier lieu un ostéopathe afin qu'il détermine le problème et surtout la cause . Si un traitement spécifique s'impose, alors un kiné pourrait faire l'affaire .

• General topics
  Hi, I have a small Hernia (L5-S1) which pushes on the sciatic nerve. The pain is now extended to the knee/calf/foot. Which is the specialist I should get in contact with?

  • Hello, we regularly receive this type of problem. Firstly, after analyzing the problem we try to normalize things before carrying out investigations which you can do with a physical doctor or sports doctor or directly with an orthopedist specializing in the spine.
