Plantarfasciitis, or more correctly known as Plantarfasciopathy, can be a stubborn injury to have in both the sporting community and general population. Often many clinician's are treating this without any formal diagnostic image which can lead to the downfall of not resolving the issue
We provide diagnostic ultrasound to accurately assess the tissue. This enables us to determine the ACTUAL pathological cause of the pain, from a tear, to a degenerative tissue, to actually having no issue there at all!
Once you have this foundation then the treatment plan can be accurately presented.
Focussed Shockwave is an industry leading treatment helping the fascia to regenerate and also reduce the pain. this can then allow aggressive loading to restore the tissue capability back to a level where it no longer produces pain
To get your heel pain assessed, book to see Calum, Sports Therapist for his expert help

This is a classic scenario that we see in clinic. A patient presenting with 'shoulder pain' and has had treatment in the area with no affect, even an injection!

Did you know that you can have shoulder pain but the actual source is from the neck, EVEN if you do not have any neck pain?!

It is so true and that is why our skilled staff provide clinical excellence when it comes to history taking and examinations.

Remember that the shoulder ball and socket is one of the 4 joints that make up the shoulder girdle, with huge interfaces with the first and second rib and lateral neck as well as the thoracic spine

If your shoulder pain is persisting then why not come and see one of our experts

Are you struggling with a diagnostic or is your current treatment not resolving the problem?

We are very lucky to have on site ultrasound scanning facilities and a skilled injection therapist. This enables us to manage nearly all of our clients in house without needing external services.

Diagnostic ultrasound is far cheaper than a MRI and also provides a physical assessment alongside. We will discuss the diagnostic and then the possible treatment options.

Please call the 01453 755948 for either clinic to discuss bookings
