Initial Consultation
Assessment & Diagnosis
You will receive a thorough assessment and explanation of your diagnosis. This will include helping you to understand the factors within your lifestyle and past medical history which may be relevant and influencing your pain experience. This thorough approach looks beyond your symptoms of pain and inflammation to highlight the root cause of the problem. Consequently, this will allow you and Tom to design a rehabilitation strategy that addresses not only the symptoms but the cause and therefore will improve your symptoms in the long term.
Follow Up Appointment
Treatment & Exercise Rehabilitation
Treatment sessions are delivered to reflect your specific needs but typically include time to ask questions and fully understand your condition, goal setting, hands on treatment (massage, joint mobilisations, acupuncture) and engagement with rehabilitation exercises to allow you to gain confidence, regain mobility and strength, but more importantly get you back to doing the things you love!
Additional Services
Some tendon and joint problems may require some additional strategies to achieve pain relief. Read below for more information on Corticosteroid (anti-inflammatory) Injections.
Steroid Injections
Corticosteroid/Cortisone
Anti-inflammatory Tendon Sheath and Joint Injections
Steroid injections are an anti-inflammatory medication which can help provide pain relief for joint and tendon pain. Conditions which may be suitable for steroid injection therapy include rotator cuff related shoulder pain (previously known as 'impingement'), carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger/thumb, Dequervain's tenosynovitis (tendonitis) of the wrist/thumb, Morton's neuroma in the foot, or cartilage and osteoarthritic pains affecting the shoulder, wrist, thumb, fingers, knee, ankle, foot and toes.
However, not all patients are able to have injections and not all conditions are able to be treated with injections. If you'd like to understand more about your pain and whether an injection could be provided as part of a treatment programme, click the link below to provide your medical history. Once we have reviewed your information, we will be back in touch to discuss whether an injection would be a potential treatment option for you.
