Aches and pains shouldn't go unanswered. Our consultant musculoskeletal radiologists scan the area, explain what they find and, where appropriate, treat it.
What we look for
Treatment
If your scan shows something that would benefit from an injection, your consultant can often carry it out under ultrasound guidance. Procedures include steroid and hyaluronic acid injections, hydrodistension, barbotage and cyst aspiration, from £550.
Who reads your scan
All of our appointments are with consultant musculoskeletal radiologists who hold posts at London NHS trusts.
Your report
Your consultant talks you through what the scan shows while you are still in the room.
A written report follows, usually within 24 hours. If anything needs a closer look, we can arrange MRI, CT, blood tests or a specialist referral. Sometimes MRI is needed to assess the structures inside a joint. Your consultant will tell you if so and can arrange it at your appointment.
No.
No preparation is needed for a muscle, tendon or joint scan.
Yes. One side is £300 and both sides are £450.
Ultrasound uses sound waves, not radiation, and has no known side effects. A small amount of gel is applied to the skin and a handheld probe is moved gently over the area. You can return to your day straight afterwards.
Book a consultation with a musculoskeletal consultant for £50. If you go on to have imaging or a procedure, the fee is put towards its cost.
Tell us what you would like looked at and we will come back to you with times. You do not need a referral.
