Each appointment will consist of an initial telephone assessment in order to discuss the current problem and to ensure an injection is an appropriate treatment for you.

If we decide to proceed with an injection, a face to face appointment will be arranged where a full physical assessment is performed in order to ensure that we have the right diagnosis. It would be useful during this appointment to bring any therapists, doctors or surgeons letters with you as well as any diagnostic investigtions that have been performed regarding the current condition.
