MSK Sports Injury Clinic

From struggling to walk to training in the gym again 👣💪

This patient came to us with a chronic Achilles tendon problem measuring 0.70cm. Ultrasound showed calcifications measuring 0.67cm and 0.39cm, and the pain had left them walking with a limp.

After four sessions of ultrasound guided shockwave therapy, their follow-up scan shows a normal looking tendon measuring 0.50cm, with the calcifications no longer visible. They’re now walking normally and back training in the gym.

If Achilles or heel pain is holding you back, book an assessment at MSK Sports Injury Clinic. We’ll find out what’s going on and make a plan to help you move forward.

💪 Elbow pain getting in the way of work or sport?

Despite their names, tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow don’t only affect players. Repeated gripping, lifting, using tools or time at a desk can also leave your elbow sore.

Pain on the outside of the elbow is often called tennis elbow; pain on the inside is often called golfer’s elbow. If it’s lingering or making everyday tasks difficult, our team can assess what’s going on and build a treatment and rehabilitation plan around your work and activities.

🦶 Achilles or heel pain slowing you down?

Whether your feet ache after a long day standing or you’re still feeling the effects of the Great North Run, you don’t have to keep pushing through it.

At MSK Sports Injury Clinic, we’ll assess what’s causing your pain and build a treatment and rehabilitation plan around you. Where appropriate, we can use our in-clinic ultrasound to take a closer look at the Achilles tendon and guide your care.

💪 SHOULDER OR ROTATOR-CUFF PAIN?

Is shoulder pain stopping you from training, working comfortably, sleeping on that side or performing everyday movements such as reaching overhead or putting on a jacket?

Common symptoms of a rotator-cuff problem can include:

✅ Pain when lifting or lowering your arm
✅ Discomfort during pressing or overhead exercises
✅ Weakness or reduced movement
✅ Night pain or difficulty lying on the affected shoulder
✅ Persistent aching around the front or side of the shoulder

At MSK Sports Injury Clinic, we provide a detailed clinical assessment to identify what may be contributing to your pain. Where clinically appropriate, we can use our point-of-care ultrasound system to assess the rotator-cuff tendons in real time—helping to take the guesswork out of your treatment.

Your personalised plan may include hands-on treatment, progressive strengthening, rehabilitation and advanced treatment options where indicated.

Don’t allow shoulder pain to keep limiting your training, work or daily life.

🇺🇸 WE WILL NEVER FORGET – 9/11 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11th, 2001.

We remember the innocent victims, the courageous first responders who ran towards danger while others were running away, and the families whose lives were changed forever.

25 years may have passed, but their memory will never fade.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the events of that day and with all those who continue to carry their loss.

In memory of the 2,977 lives lost. 🕯️

September 11th, 2001 — Never Forgotten. 🇺🇸❤️

🎯 FROM CHRONIC TENDINOPATHY TO PAIN-FREE MOVEMENT IN JUST 4 WEEKS!

Another fantastic result at MSK Sports Injury Clinic 🙌

This client came to us struggling with chronic tendinopathy, with a significant 10.2mm calcification identified within the tendon using our Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS).

When he first attended the clinic, he was walking with a noticeable limp, and the problem was affecting both his day-to-day activities and his ability to work comfortably.

🔍 Initial ultrasound: Chronic tendon changes with a 10.2mm calcification

🎯 Treatment: 4 sessions of ultrasound-guided Focused Shockwave Therapy over 4 weeks

📈 Follow-up ultrasound: No calcification identified in the treated area, with the tendon now demonstrating a much more normal sonographic appearance

🚶 Most importantly: He is now walking normally, with his everyday activities and work no longer being affected.

WHY ULTRASOUND GUIDANCE MATTERS

At MSK Sports Injury Clinic, we can use our POCUS ultrasound system to take the guesswork out of treatment.

We can visualise the tendon in real time, identify areas of tendinopathy and calcification, accurately target treatment and then re-scan to objectively monitor progress.

If you’re struggling with persistent:

👉 Achilles tendinopathy
👉 Plantar fasciitis / plantar fasciopathy
👉 Patellar or quadriceps tendinopathy
👉 Tennis or golfer’s elbow
👉 Rotator cuff tendinopathy

…and you’ve been told to simply rest and hope it settles, there may be another option.

📩 Contact MSK Sports Injury Clinic today to book an ultrasound assessment and find out whether ultrasound-guided Focused Shockwave Therapy could be appropriate for you.
