Queensland Lithotripsy Services - About Us
|
Queensland Lithotripsy Services is based at Brisbane Private Hospital, on the well known medical strip - Wickham Terrace - in Spring Hill, Brisbane.
Brisbane Private Hospital (formerly Holy Spirit Hospital) has been a major Lithotripsy centre since 1990. This made it an ideal location to set up an orthopaedic clinic.
Our Orthopaedic Lithotripsy clinic was set up in 2000 and as such has been running now for over 10 years, with regular Referers from amongst our Specialists, GPs, Physiotherapists and Podiatrists.

The QLS clinic uses the only dedicated, ultrasound guided machine in Queensland.
Your treatment is not done in conjunction with any other treatment, it is a dedicated lithotripsy treatment.
Our clinic is available for patients with many different tendon inflammatory conditions, some involving resulting calcium deposits because of persisting inflammation, despite often having tried other options such as anti-inflammatories, cortisone, orthotics, strapping, stretches etc to no avail.

We probably treat more plantar fasciitis than any other problem as it is very common in occurance, with consistantly good success (refer to results table here). Overall though we have treated nearly 3000 patients with varying problems with good outcomes even though other options may have all failed before.
We DO NOT however treat any areas around the spine, nor do we treat any arthritic problems. We are a dedicated tendon clinic.
At Queensland Lithotripsy Services, our focus is your health - we want to see your quality of life returned to you, as tendon inflammation can be very debilitating and depressing. |
