Applicants for New Zealand visas may be required to provide medical and chest x-ray certificates to demonstrate an acceptable standard of health. Immigration New Zealand uses eMedical, an online platform for processing immigration health examinations. The examining doctor records the applicant’s health examination results in eMedical then electronically submits them to Immigration New Zealand where they are associated with the applicant’s visa application once it is submitted. Only doctors who have been approved by Immigration NZ are able to conduct the medical examinations. The immigration officer who assesses the applicant’s visa application will determine whether they have an acceptable standard of health. Visa applicants requiring an immigration medical examination must make an appointment with an eMedical enabled clinic on Immigration New Zealand’s approved list.

Our tongue-tie release services for infants offer a specialized approach to addressing ankyloglossia, a condition where a tight lingual frenulum restricts tongue movement. This can lead to significant breastfeeding challenges, such as difficulty latching, prolonged feeding times, and maternal nipple pain. The tongue-tie release procedure, or frenotomy, is a quick and minimally invasive surgery aimed at freeing the tongue to enhance mobility and function, thereby improving breastfeeding outcomes.

However, the procedure is not without controversy. Some experts argue that the benefits of tongue-tie release, particularly concerning breastfeeding, may be overstated and that conservative management or alternative techniques should be considered first.

Despite this, evidence suggests that tongue-tie release can significantly alleviate breastfeeding problems in many cases. Research has shown improvements in latch, reduced maternal pain, and increased breastfeeding success rates post-procedure.

The decision to proceed with frenotomy should be made after thorough consultation, considering the individual needs of the infant and family.

Our primary care MSK (musculoskeletal) joint steroid injection services offer effective relief for individuals suffering from shoulder and knee pain due to conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, or tendonitis. These injections deliver a corticosteroid medication directly into the affected joint, targeting inflammation and reducing pain.

The procedure is minimally invasive and typically performed in an outpatient setting, offering convenience and quick recovery for patients.

While steroid injections can offer substantial relief, they are not a permanent solution and may need to be repeated periodically. It's essential to discuss the potential benefits and risks with our healthcare professionals, who specialize in musculoskeletal conditions and joint injections.

At our clinic, we are committed to providing compassionate care and personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's specific needs. Our goal is to help alleviate pain, restore function, and improve the quality of life for individuals dealing with shoulder and knee joint issues through our MSK joint steroid injection services.
