Don’t sit on the side lines watching your team lift a trophy without you, or stay on the couch when you would rather be running on the road or track. At Blackberry Clinic our aim is to get you back to sport, work and every day life, free from pain and raring to go!
Although the type of injury and the muscle or joint that it affects may vary, there are often factors which link the injuries. Sportsmen and women are more at risk undertaking sports they have not played before and which involve contact or high impact, such as rugby or squash. Having previous injuries to an area can predispose to a recurrence of the same injury. Stiffness or altered playing style may lead to injury of another joint.
The variety of injuries we treat at Blackberry Clinics is great, ranging from wrist injuries in table tennis to back injuries in the World Powerlifting Champion. The wide range of sports undertaken by our practitioners allows a unique empathy with the sportsmen and women they treat, with our practitioners recognising not only the physical but also mental strains that an injury places on an individual.
We have a team of Sport & Exercise Medicine consultants, Musculoskeletal Medicine Doctors and practitioners who specialise in the treatment of sports injuries both acute and chronic. It may be that you have been carrying a niggling injury for some time which just rears its head each time you try to get back to your sport after a period of rest, or you may have suffered an acute injury which requires a lot of specialist treatment and rehabilitation advice.
With either of these scenarios, our Blackberry Clinic doctors, physios, chiropractors and osteopaths will work together to devise a treatment plan and rehabilitation programme for you. With every step back to full fitness you will have the expert advice of sports injury specialists. Everybody heals at a different pace and your rehab programme will be adapted to suit your progress.
The crucial element of dealing with these types of injuries is to make an accurate diagnosis. Our doctors use physical assessment, musculoskeletal ultrasound and fluoroscopy to help determine the extent and location of your injury. If they think you need further examination we are able to organised MRI scans very quickly, for instance, if you live in the Milton Keynes area a scan may be available on the same day as your consultation.
Give us a call if you are suffering from a sports injury or any musculoskeletal problem affecting your joints, muscles or spine. We are here to help!
