Stafford Physio

13/11/2025

At Stafford Physio Pain Relief & Sports Injury Clinic, we don’t just offer physiotherapy — we also provide specialist joint injections for painful and inflammatory conditions such as:

> Knee osteoarthritis (including Hyaluronic Acid and Arthrosamid®)
> Ankle, wrist, thumbs, finger arthritis.
> Frozen shoulder
> Trigger finger
> Shoulder or hip bursitis
(We do not inject the spine or the hip joint at this stage)

We understand that many people are waiting months — sometimes over a year — for NHS appointments for these very problems.
During that time, pain can get worse, movement becomes harder, and daily life is affected.

At Stafford Physio, you can access:
✅ Expert diagnosis without the wait
✅ A detailed explanation of what’s causing your pain
✅ Evidence-based injection options (steroid, Hyaluronic Acid, Arthrosamid®)
✅ Ongoing rehabilitation and physiotherapy to get you moving again

Our goal is simple — to give you clear answers and effective treatment so you can get back to normal life faster.

🚴‍♂️ Patient Success Story – Congratulations David! 🚴‍♂️

We are so proud of our patient, David Cooper, a 68-year-old passionate cyclist who faced a huge challenge after sustaining a complete quadriceps tendon tear.

When David first came to us post-surgery, cycling again felt like a distant dream — even completing a full pedal revolution seemed impossible. Together, through a carefully progressed programme of strengthening, rehabilitation exercises, and hands-on treatment, David steadily rebuilt his strength and mobility.

💪 With dedication, consistency, and a lot of hard work, David not only returned to cycling but went on to complete the Loch Ness Etape — a 100km ride alongside 7,000 other cyclists — just 8 months after his injury!

👏 David, your determination has been inspiring, and we’re honoured to have supported you on your journey back to doing what you love.

🙏 And thank you so much for your amazing review — your kind words mean the world to us.

We’re proud to have over 135 - 5 star reviews from patients of all levels and abilities, all sharing their own journeys of recovery and success.

Well done David!

🌟 Patient Inspiration Story – Meet Martin 🌟

When Martin first came to Stafford Physio Pain Relief and Sports Injury Clinic, he was struggling with persistent low back pain. At times he could barely walk or even get onto all fours — running again felt impossible.

But with treatment, rehab, and a clear plan, Martin rebuilt his strength and confidence step by step. His first goal was simply to run 5k. Fast forward to last week, and he crossed the line at the Blithfield Olympic Distance Triathlon in an incredible 2 hours 45 minutes – finishing 4th in his category! 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Now, Martin has his sights set even higher: the Weymouth Ironman event on Sunday 14th September.💪🔥

Just as inspiring, he’s using this challenge to raise money for the British Heart Foundation, a cause close to him. ❤️

We’re so proud to have supported Martin on his journey, but the real credit goes to his determination, consistency, and positive attitude. He is proof that with the right support and mindset, you can go from struggling with daily movement to achieving things you never thought possible.

👉 Please join us in supporting Martin by sponsoring him through his JustGiving page (link in comments). Every donation will help make a difference.

👏 Let’s cheer Martin on as he continues to prove that limits can be redefined!

❄️ Struggling with Frozen Shoulder? Science Says Don’t Wait for steroid injections! ❄️

See our recent blog highlighting scientific research that shows early steroid injections can interrupt the inflammatory cycle of frozen shoulder – providing faster pain relief, improved mobility, and better long-term outcomes.

📚 Studies like Ahn et al. (2018) and Sun et al. (2017) have proven that corticosteroid injections can significantly reduce symptoms and restore function – especially when given early in the condition.

At Stafford Physio Pain Relief and Sports Injury Clinic, we’re proud to offer this evidence-based treatment with:

✅ No GP or consultant referral needed
✅ No waiting lists – fast access to care
✅ Delivered by skilled clinicians in a safe, supportive environment
