Musculoskeletal Medicine

Hamilton Medical Group's General Practitioners provide assessment and management of a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, helping patients manage pain, improve mobility, and maintain an active lifestyle.

Our doctors can assess and manage concerns including back and neck pain, joint pain, arthritis and osteoarthritis, sports injuries, muscle, tendon and ligament injuries. We provide thorough assessments and develop personalised management plans based on your condition, lifestyle and goals. Depending on your needs, treatment may include medication, exercise and activity, appropriate imaging, or referral to physiotherapy and other allied health services.

For patients living with chronic musculoskeletal conditions, such as osteoarthritis, our GPs can develop a Chronic Condition Management Plan to support coordinated ongoing care. Where appropriate, this may involve allied health professionals, such as physiotherapists, as well as Pain Management services.

If your condition requires specialist assessment, such as orthopaedic or rheumatological review, our GPs can arrange an appropriate referral and help coordinate your ongoing care between specialists and allied health professionals.

We also support patients recovering from musculoskeletal injuries or surgery, providing guidance throughout rehabilitation and monitoring recovery over time.

Our GPs take a practical, whole-person approach to musculoskeletal health. We consider not only the physical aspects of a condition, but also how pain, reduced mobility and injury may affect your daily activities, work, exercise and overall wellbeing.

If you are experiencing joint or muscle pain, or you have a musculoskeletal concern you would like assessed, please contact our reception team to arrange an appointment with one of our doctors.
