Sports Injuries
We cater across the entire range of sporting injuries, joint and muscle pains, bony or soft tissue injuries. We are keen to promote regular exercise and sporting activities for all patients, young and old, male and female, and this is a key health promotion goal for all our GPs.
If you have any issues that are affecting your ability to exercise or play sports, please arrange an appointment to be reviewed by one of our team. Assessing, treating and rehabilitating sports and exercise injuries is a special interest for most of our GPs.
Swollen, painful joints or tendons particularly affect the knees, ankles, shoulders or wrists. Our GPs can suggest appropriate treatments using heat or ice packs, home exercises, medications, physio and occasional joint injections.
Occasionally appropriate diagnostic referrals are needed for X-rays, MRI scans, CAT scans or ultrasound scans.
Occasionally referrals are needed to charted physiotherapists, orthopaedic surgeons or specific sports medicine specialists. Our GPs have strong working relationships with these professionals when referrals or advice are necessary.
