Dr Ian Skinner is an orthopaedic surgeon based in Kalgoorlie, WA. He works out of Goldfields Medical, 18 Addis Street, Kalgoorlie WA 6430.
Orthopaedics is about the health of bones, joints, muscles, and tendons. Dr Skinner helps people when something goes wrong, like after a fall, an accident, or a sports injury. In many cases, he focuses on getting the diagnosis right first, then working out the best next steps for treatment.
A big part of his work is diagnosing and treating bone fractures. That can mean looking at injuries from day-to-day life, as well as injuries that happen during sport or other active activities. He also treats sports injuries such as sprains and strains, which can be painful and slow you down if you’re not careful.
When the problem affects how you move, physio and physical therapy can be part of the plan. Dr Skinner supports musculoskeletal conditions with treatment that aims to help people get back to normal movement, and feel more comfortable day to day.
For joint pain, he also provides joint injections for pain relief. These can be useful when pain is getting in the way of sleep, work, or everyday activities. At times, the goal is to calm things down enough so you can move better and start building strength again.
