Gregory Cunningham is an Orthopedic Surgeon based in Wellington Street, Perth, WA 6000. He looks after people with problems that affect how the body moves, especially joints, tendons, bones, and the spine.
In clinic, the work often comes down to things like hypermobile joints and tendon pain, including tendinitis. Some patients have ongoing aches that make daily tasks harder, while others need help after an injury that changed what they can do. At times, the focus is on getting pain under control and then helping the body work better again over time.
Gregory also treats issues where surgery may be needed, depending on how severe the problem is and what has already been tried. For example, he manages tendon injuries and conditions such as Achilles tendon rupture. There can be a lot to think about in the first stages after an injury, and treatment plans usually take account of recovery time and return to normal activities.
Shoulder and arm problems can be part of the picture too. This can include brachial plexopathy, which affects nerves that control movement and feeling. Nerve-related issues can be tough, and symptoms may come and go, so getting the right plan matters. Similarly, some people are seen for conditions around pressure and reduced blood flow in a limb, like compartment syndrome.
For joint and soft tissue problems, care may involve procedures such as endoscopy and synovectomy, where the aim is to improve function and reduce ongoing discomfort. Over time, some patients also need treatment that includes tenotomy. In some cases, bone grafting is part of the pathway, depending on the location and the type of injury or repair needed.
Spine conditions are another area he works with. This includes scoliosis and spinal fusion when it’s needed. Decisions around spine surgery often take time, and it helps to have clear steps so you know what to expect before and after treatment.
Gregory Cunningham’s approach is practical and patient-focused. He treats a mix of musculoskeletal problems, from tendon pain to more complex injuries, using the right options for each person’s situation rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
