Services
Musculoskeletal Medicine
Our consultant-led musculoskeletal medicine service specialises in diagnosing and treating non-surgical conditions affecting muscles, bones and joints. Using fluoroscopic x-ray and ultrasound guidance, our physicians deliver targeted pain-relieving injections for conditions ranging from sports injuries to chronic arthritis. Treatment plans often incorporate referrals to physiotherapy and manual therapy while maintaining focus on functional rehabilitation and long-term pain management strategies.
Physiotherapy
Individualised physiotherapy programmes address musculoskeletal injuries through manual therapy, exercise prescription and biomechanical assessment. Our chartered physiotherapists employ techniques including Connect Therapy, shockwave ultrasound and dry needling to restore mobility and function. Treatment extends beyond symptom relief to address underlying causes through postural re-education and tailored exercise programmes designed to prevent recurrence.
Injections
Specialist injection therapies target musculoskeletal pain using image-guided precision. Available treatments include corticosteroid injections, hyaluronic acid for joint lubrication, and regenerative therapies like PRP and prolotherapy. Our consultants perform nerve blocks and radiofrequency denervation procedures to address chronic pain conditions, with treatment selection based on comprehensive diagnostic assessment and individual patient requirements.
Chiropractic
Chiropractic treatment focuses on musculoskeletal and nervous system disorders through manual adjustments and holistic care. Our practitioners combine spinal manipulation with therapeutic exercises and lifestyle advice to address neck and back pain. Treatment considers physical, emotional and social wellbeing factors, offering a comprehensive approach to managing both acute injuries and chronic conditions affecting mobility and function.
Pain Management
Multidisciplinary pain management combines interventional procedures with rehabilitative strategies for chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Our consultants specialise in complex pain syndromes, offering advanced treatments including spinal injections and radiofrequency ablation alongside coordinated care plans. The service integrates diagnostic precision with ongoing support to improve quality of life for patients experiencing persistent pain conditions.

Report
Waist of time and money, and gone through severe pain with no positive results.
my partner had gone through 6 shockwave treatments on her heal with no benefit at all - was told that the treatment is not working because she has low vitamin d - after the treatment was done - yes i know its funny.
complained to the management and where told that they cant do anything.
when asked what did we pay for - answered - "well you have had the treatment".
in the stand point of a customer - you paid for something and got nothing.
is one paying for a treatment or for A CURE ?!
as far as the clinic is concern

Like other bad reviews on here I can only eco my experience total waste of time and money. More pain after the procedure than what i was in before and they refuse to even see me again unless I pay more money. Not even offering solutions to try and rectify the situation. Basically go away quietly. I am going for a second opinion as I feel I have been mis diagnosed and will not let this rest. If you want a good experience from people who understand pain and know how much of a struggle day to day life activities can be. I strongly recommend not to visit this clinic.

Excellent service. Aligned with a physio therapist quickly who identified problem and has provided physio and some stuff for me to do in between treatments. Improving at a good rate after 3 treatments.

Good clinic. Worked with Athanasios over a few months on knee pain and he was great support. Managed to make the knee better an had good exercises to keep it away. Athanasios was also supportive by responding to questions via PhysiApp which helped during recovery. Recommended
