Ultrasound Guided Injections | Joint & Tendon Pain Clinics in London

Ultrasound-guided injections have seen increasing use in recent years within musculoskeletal and orthopaedic pain disorders due to their ability to provide safe access to target tissues, with increased efficacy and reduced discomfort for patients during the procedure.

I offer a comprehensive range of Ultrasound Guided Injections in London

As a physiotherapist by background who has undergone further training in musculoskeletal ultrasound, along with previous training in injection therapy and prescribing, I am able to combine these skills to offer a comprehensive range of ultrasound-guided injections for peripheral joint, ligament, and tendon pain disorders throughout the body.

A musculoskeletal ultrasound scan for diagnosing the precise problem will be conducted along with a physical examination prior to any ultrasound-guided injection. I am always available via message if there are any questions prior to any appointment. You can see a core list of conditions I treat by browsing the “Conditions” section on this website, as well as a full range of the clinics I work at throughout London offering these services.
