I will assess and manage the whole range of sports and musculoskeletal/activity-related injuries. If you have another injury not specifically listed in my "areas of interest" below, please phone and enquire. When conservative management is not working, where indicated, I can offer ultrasound-guided procedures/injections to promote recovery and symptom control; this includes CORTISONE (anti-inflammatory and pain relief); PROLOTHERAPY; LARGE VOLUME INJECTIONS FOR TENDINOPATHY; HYALURONIC ACID anti-inflammatory injections. I work hand in hand with our excellent physiotherapists at the clinic - where indeed we also have the provision of a BIODEX dynanmometer to assist assessments of joint injury and support post suriery rehabilitation. I also collaborate with other local physiotherpaists and orthopaedic surgeons and radiology services to ensure that the best options are laid out for your diagnosis and recovery, and help assess and prepare patients prior to any potential surgery.
