What to expect @ SWT & Sports Injury Clinic

If you haven't already had a diagnosis this is the first stage. Three-point​ analysis happens here: 1) PHYSICAL EXAM 2) ORTHOPAEDIC TESTS 3) CONDITION CASE HISTORY

When we see a condition that's not healed naturally or with other therapies, it often means there is something that may have been missed. We ensure new imagery is taken when needed so we can give you an accurate prognosis before committing to a treatment plan. If you have had a diagnosis that involved MRI, CT, X-RAY or ULTRASOUND, please bring the images to us at consultation. We feel this accurate diagnosis is a critical factor in our high success rates - After all knowing more information is never a bad thing, right?

If you condition looks like it requires Shock Wave Therapy (SWT), it is a treatment for both sports and moderate limb injuries, the clinic can provide this. During Shock Wave Therapy pulses of sound are delivered into the offending area at speed. This drumming causes the treatment area to relax and for blood to flow around them. The nutrient rich lifeblood penetrates​ deeper tendon/muscle pores that are now open thanks to the elimination of scar tissue or calcification. - More Information About SWT - CLICK HERE​

Whether you have chosen Shock Wave Therapy or a more traditional approach, there is a weakness that caused your injury to occur. Or in some cases, a muscle imbalance has been created by you just not moving while the pain was present (don't move it you lose it - think of someone's leg after coming out of a plaster cast). The weakness needs to be addressed to stop injury re-occurring.​

Advice and exercises on paper are available everywhere these days. However best results are created with a monitoring programme. As you get better from your injury, we change your activities to use up less time and make you stronger. These one-on-one sessions enable not only further treatment and exercise prescription. Crucially they also allow face time with your injury professional. This extra time means they can answer any concerns & teach you more about staying well, while also monitoring your progress.​

There is nothing better than a patient that gets complete independence. Independence or Wellness is not just from pain but also from why they developed a condition in the beginning. Our goal is to let you leave the clinic, after completing a course of therapy, with both the treatment and some knowledge about how to keep this condition away
