SOAR specialises in the management of injuries or conditions related to joints, tendons, muscles and ligaments.

These common injuries and conditions are often caused by repetitive strain or force on the body through activities like sport or work.

Or you might have had an every day traumatic event like a fall.

Whatever the cause, the pain and discomfort gets in the way of living, so it’s vital to get an early diagnosis and start treatment as soon as possible.

We keep at the forefront of the latest advances in techniques and technology, while empowering you to heal to your best ability.

  • PRP is SOAR’s speciality.

  • Hyaluronic acid injections restore the cushioning and lubricating properties of a range of joints – including hips and knees.

    They can assist in both the management of pain and restricted movement caused by osteoarthritis effectively for up to 12 months.

    For people looking at requiring hip or knee replacements it can push back the need for surgery by 4–5 years in roughly 70% of cases.

    Hyaluronic acid preparations are injected into a joint space using a sterile technique by the specialist under ultrasound guidance in our clinic.

  • Cortisone injections may help relieve pain and inflammation most commonly in joints eg knee, ankle, shoulder.

    These are very useful for managing inflammation following acute injury or to settle significant joint swelling.

  • Shoulder joint hydrodilatation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat patients with ‘frozen shoulder’ (adhesive capsulitis). It involves injecting fluid – usually a mixture of saline, steroid (cortisone), and local anaesthetic – directly into the shoulder joint under ultrasound guidance.

    This process stretches the tight and thickened joint capsule, helps to reduce inflammation, breaks down adhesions, and restores mobility and function.

  • Prolotherapy is an alternative treatment using guided glucose injections. It is used in the treatment of some chronic ligament and tendon injuries.
