Conditions Treated
If you are suffering from a musculoskeletal injury or painful condition, we can help with your pain and recovery. We specialise in treating a wide range of injuries and musculoskeletal conditions with advanced imaging guided treatments. We offer state-of-the-art techniques using evidence based interventions.
Cryoablation
for Morton’s neuroma using IceFx technology
Also known as Cryosurgery / Cryotherapy.
Our team in LUHFT is the only NHS hospital in England offering Cryoablation for Morton’s neuroma – using the advanced IceFx technology to permanently destroy the neuroma for immediate and long-term pain relief, with minimal downtime of few days.
There is excellent patient satisfaction with this outpatient procedure under local anaesthesia, and is a low risk alternative to surgery.
We offer rapid access for self-funding private patients usually within 1-2 weeks.
Please contact us with enquiries.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
injections e.g. for Plantar fasciitis, sports injuries, muscle tears, ligaments, arthritis
This non-surgical technique in regenerative medicine uses the patient’s plasma to promote regeneration and stimulate the healing process with concentrated growth factors and anti-inflammatory cytokines.
Elite athletes use PRP to reduce pain and inflammation whilst restoring function and performance.
Patients who wish to avoid steroid injections can consider PRP injections to speed up the healing process and reduce pain, whilst avoiding further cartilage or tendon damage. There is evidence that PRP has superior long-term efficacy to steroid injections.
Ultrasound guided Steroid joint injections
e.g. arthritis, gout, synovitis
Steroids are a strong anti-inflammatory medication.
Ultrasound-guided injections are more accurate and effective in reducing pain and increasing function compared to blind injections.
Hyaluronic acid injection
into joints and around tendons
Hyaluronic acid is a medication which mimics the joint’s natural lubricant. Evidence shows it can be effective in reducing pain and inflammation in arthritis. Patients who wish to avoid steroid injections can consider Hyaluronic acid injections.
Tendon stripping
e.g. Achilles tendinosis
Minimally invasive technique which disrupts the new tiny vessels and nerves around the chronically inflamed Achilles tendon. The treatment reduces inflammation and pain to allow you to accelerate your recovery with physiotherapy.
MSK diagnostic scans
including Ultrasound, MRI, CT, XR, Fluoroscopy
If you would like to discuss these options, please do contact us with any enquiries.
