The key elements of our reputation are:

Accurate Diagnosis - This begins by listening to our patients. Our consultants will take a detailed history of your symptoms and perform a thorough yet specific examination of your lower limb. An array of clinically provocative tests will aid the consultants to establish the diagnosis.

Diagnostic Testing - The clinic is supported by MRI diagnostic facilities, conventional x-rays and ultrasound scanning for soft tissue diagnosis. These investigations are done collaboratively between the clinician and the radiologist and are used to help pinpoint your problem and guide your treatment programme.

Treatment Excellence - Each consultant has years of experience evaluating and treating a broad spectrum of lower limb problems.
