The MSK (Musculoskeletal) service provides assessment and treatment of patients with complex musculoskeletal conditions - these usually affect the joints, muscles, bones and soft tissue.
Our team includes 3 GP’s with a specialist interest in Musculoskeletal Medicine, 8 Advanced Clinical Practitioners in Physiotherapy, and an Advanced Clinical Podiatrist.
An Advanced Clinical Practitioner (or ACP) is a highly specialised physiotherapist who can provide a range of interventions and investigations for complex non-surgical musculoskeletal conditions which include treatment, education and advice.
Our team will diagnose and manage your condition and support you with a tailored plan of care. This could include referral for physiotherapy, further investigations such as MRI, X-Ray or blood tests, injection treatment which can be offered in our clinic or onward referral for a surgical opinion or pain management.
We are a community clinic based at Princess Royal Community Health Centre, providing assessment and treatment of patients with complex musculoskeletal conditions - these usually affect the joints, muscles, bones and soft tissue. Our 10 clinicians are supported by members of the admin team.
We see a wide range of musculoskeletal problems, we offer a thorough assessment, advice and in some circumstances injections. We deal with non-inflammatory arthritis, ligament and tendon problems and nerve entrapment issues.
We do not provide Physiotherapy as part of the MSK service. If a patient has a problem that requires physiotherapy in the first instance, patients will need referring directly to the physiotherapy department.
We don’t deal with non-entrapment nerve problems for example conditions causing problems with the way nerves work (neuropathy).
We don’t deal with widespread pain issues; these are best dealt with in Pain management or Rheumatology.
We do not deal with hypermobility disorders; these are best managed with specialist physiotherapy.
