If you have joint or spinal pain, my aim is to use appropriate diagnosis and treatment to help restore comfortable, unrestricted movement. I use local injection therapy, administering medication such as glucocorticoids or hyaluronic acid directly into or around an affected joint, with the aim of providing prompt and lasting relief. Reasons to seek a consultation: • Pain, swelling or a feeling of heaviness in the joints • Restricted movement and lower back, neck or head pain • Clicking or other sounds in joints during movement • Previous injuries or other joint discomfort Areas of practice: • Knee and hip conditions, including arthritis, osteoarthritis, gonarthrosis and coxarthrosis • Spinal conditions, including osteochondrosis, herniated discs and lower back or neck pain • Injections into small and large joints, including wrists, elbows, shoulders, hips, ankles, hands and feet An appropriately planned treatment course can help improve quality of life.
