Richard S. Page is an Orthopedic Surgeon based in Bellerine St, Geelong, VIC 3220. He works with people who need help with pain, stiffness, and injuries that affect how they move day to day. If you’ve been putting up with sore joints for a while, or you’ve had a sudden problem after an accident, this is the kind of care aimed at getting you back on your feet.
Ortho issues can be simple, like ongoing arthritis pain, or more complicated, like after a long recovery. In many cases, treatment can include support for common joint problems such as osteoarthritis and arthritis, along with conditions like bursitis, frozen shoulder, and tendinitis. He also looks after people with injuries and repair needs, including Achilles tendon problems and scaphoid non-union. Some cases involve the shoulder, hip, knee, and foot and ankle, depending on what’s going on.
When the joint has been worn down, or the problem is no longer settling with other care, hip replacement and knee replacement are options that may be discussed. At times, people also need help with bone and joint changes such as osteonecrosis, and other situations where healing can be tricky. Richard can also help with issues linked to hypermobile joints and long-term pain patterns, including complex regional pain syndrome, where managing symptoms and function matters.
There are also cases that come in with less everyday names, but still need careful assessment and a steady plan. Examples include osteolysis syndrome (recessive) and venous thromboembolism (VTE). Some patients may come with past or current concerns connected to serious infections and breathing issues, and Richard’s team helps coordinate care around what’s safest and most appropriate. He also offers endoscopy as part of how certain conditions are worked up and managed.
Over time, orthopedic care is often about more than one appointment. It’s usually about understanding what caused the problem, what makes it worse, and what helps most for your body. Richard focuses on practical next steps, clear explanations, and treatments that fit real life. If you’re dealing with pain after an injury, trouble using a joint, or ongoing issues like shoulder stiffness, it’s worth getting your situation checked.
The clinic is in Geelong, and appointments are set up through the local practice address on Bellerine St.
