Based at Thames View at Charing Cross Hospital, we can review all acute and chronic musculoskeletal problems, with inhouse imaging including ultrasound scans and MRI scans, all on one site. Treatments we offer include ultrasound guided injections and extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ECSWT).
At Imperial College Healthcare we can use the breadth of knowledge across a wide multi-disciplinary team (MDT) including radiologists, orthopaedic surgeons, podiatrists, physiotherapists and physicians, ensuring an evidence-based and team approach to complicated issues. We are involved in research projects including orthopaedic, sports and musculoskeletal medicine, as well as research in physical activity.
