I had suffered with a shoulder injury for 8/9 months - I'd seen five NHS physiotherapists, I'd also paid for a private steroid injection after 4 months which didn't work. I then saw a private physiotherapist who suggested I saw an osteopath (couldn't afford that) or Hydrodilation. I Googled the procedure and Joint Care Clinics came up. After some research I contacted them and spoke to Dr Ram. He invited me to his Rugby clinic the following week! At the appointment Dr Ram was very professional and quickly put me at my ease. He did a comprehensive ultrasound scan, then took his time explaining the three problems in my shoulder, he explained why I was in so much pain, the procedures he would like to do and the costs, there was no pressure to have anything done. I decided to have another steroid injection in my AC joint and Hydrodilation. This procedure was a strange experience, it was uncomfortable but not painful. Within 5-7 days I was pain free! Dr Ram explained I wouldn't feel the full effects of the Hydrodilation for 4-6 weeks, hence the delay in me writing this review. Four weeks on, I'm still pain free and I can raise my arm nearly as high as my other arm (previously I couldn't raise it above shoulder level!) The injection and Hydrodilation combined cost less than the private steroid injection I'd had previously. This was the best Christmas present I could have asked for!I would thoroughly recommend the Joint Care Clinics.
