*Information regarding Injection Therapies
Injections are only considered after an initial Physiotherapy Assessment session.
For example: Cost of a new patient assessment, treatment including corticosteroid injection = £230 (£80+£150)
This is to ensure the injection offered is safe, well-timed and indicated.
I am proud to uphold high standards of practice & never offer treatments whereby your safety or best interests are compromised.
A comprehensive checklist & discussion of risks / pros / cons will always be completed.
In rare circumstances, you may require further pre-injection checks e.g. blood tests which can be arranged via Meyer Clinic incurring some additional cost.
Injections are inclusive of private prescription costs where applicable.
In some circumstances a course of injections may be recommended but I will not commit you to an upfront fee.
Please note I do not offer hip joint or spinal injections which require imaging guidance (e.g. X-ray)
Injections offered cover many conditions affecting the Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist, Hand, Hip (Bursitis), Knee, Ankle and Foot.
