What is Musculoskeletal Medicine?
Musculoskeletal medicine involves the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the musculoskeletal system (bones, muscles, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and other connective tissue). Musculoskeletal disorders may occur as the result of injury or of a gradual onset condition such as osteoarthritis and will typically cause chronic (long term) or acute disability and pain.
Management of musculoskeletal disorders includes a wide range of treatments such as: patient education, pain management strategies, manipulative techniques, exercise and rehabilitation programmes, acupuncture, specialised injection techniques and medication.
Dr Matti is passionate about the principle of Regenerative Musculoskeletal Medicine. This evolving field utilises cellular therapies called orthobiologics combined with precise delivery into musculoskeletal tissue under the guidance of ultrasound or x-ray. He is a member of Interventional Orthopaedics Foundation, a leading organisation in this field. He is an active participant in the world-leading conferences in that field. He lectured in many international meetings about the principle and use of platelets rich plasma PRP as a cellular therapy for musculoskeletal conditions. Zaid is an advocate for promoting ethical research, marketing, and clinical application of orthobiologics. He is an active member of the Orthobiologics Ethics Consortium.
Dr Matti's other clinical interests include interventions in pain management, point of care ultrasound, and acute and chronic musculoskeletal problems in adults, particularly spinal, hip, knee and shoulder pain.

Otherwise known as degenerative arthritis. OA occurs when there is a breakdown of the cartilage, leaving the bones unprotected. It is very common and usually affects people as they get older. You can get it at any age and are more likely to if you have previously injured a joint, or are overweight. The symptoms can be very mild with just occasional pain with activity. Worsening symptoms include pain with activity and stiffness with rest. Joints can become swollen and restricted in movement. Joints can change shape as the bone changes in response to loss of protection. You otherwise feel well. The diagnosis is made on the basis of the history, examination findings and sometimes x-rays. The severity of joint damage seen on x-ray does not always correlate with the degree of pain you experience. Treatment includes guided exercises, weight reduction if needed, pain relief and sometimes surgery. For more information see www.arthritis.org.nz

This is a syndrome of widespread aches, pains and fatigue. There may be morning stiffness and sleep problems. The diagnosis is made on the history of the pain and accompanying symptoms as well as the presence of tender points at specific sites on the body. There are a number of different theories and reasons for this condition. There will often be blood tests and maybe x-rays to exclude other diagnoses. Treatment involves pain killers, exercises, rest and sometimes antidepressant medication. For more information see www.arthritis.org.nz

Most headaches are not due to significant underlying problems but you may be referred if your GP is worried about the nature of your headaches or you are having difficulty controlling them with standard treatment. Migraine headaches are repeated or recurrent headaches, often accompanied by other symptoms. They can be triggered by certain factors/events/foods. In some people, a visual disturbance called an aura happens before the headache starts. Other symptoms that may precede or accompany the headache include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, increased sweating, irritability, fatigue and intolerance of light or noise. The headache may last several hours to days. There is no cure for migraine headaches but treatment is aimed at: preventing migraines from occurring, stopping the migraine once early symptoms develop, and treating the symptoms of migraine (e.g. pain, nausea).
