For bones, joints, and muscle care including arthritis and back pain.
If you suffer with joint pains, back pain, acute musculoskeletal injury, whiplash or any similar musculoskeletal condition, we may offer you an appointment with our Musculoskeletal (MSK) practitioners.
Our MSK practitioners specialise in treating patients with conditions that can affect joints, bones, muscles, and nerves, and are often better equipped to assess patients with these specific conditions and or symptoms than our General Practitioners (GPs).
For each new consultation with our internal MSK practitioners, we will almost always arrange for you to be consulted with a telephone assessment in the first instance.
Please note, all calls are recorded & may show up as private, withheld or unknown numbers.
Following this initial telephone consultation, our MSK Team will decide if further assessments, such as face-to-face appointments are needed, or provide further advice and guidance from this telephone consultation.
Our MSK practitioners are able to assess, diagnose and treat most common musculoskeletal conditions such as back and joint pains and traumatic soft tissue injuries. They are able to request and interpret appropriate investigations, and if needed can refer to secondary care for a specialist opinion.
