What will the assessment cover?

It is helpful to bring:

Previous scan reports or referral letters.
Details of exercises you have already tried.
A current medication list.

Understanding your treatment options

Your clinician will explain the findings and discuss a care plan centred on your goals. This can include rehabilitation advice, activity planning and guidance on the role of imaging.

Our Achilles tendinopathy guide explains symptoms, assessment and the role of progressive rehabilitation.

Planning rehabilitation around your routine

Explain what you want to return to: comfortable everyday walking, a physically demanding job or a particular sport. Discuss how follow-up and exercise progression can fit around your commitments.

Check which appointments are available at Milton Keynes and what the proposed fees include before booking further care.

What to Expect During the Procedure

During your visit to RAD Clinics for an ultrasound-guided injection, you can anticipate the following steps:

Preparation: You will be comfortably positioned, and the treatment area will be sterilised.
Ultrasound Imaging: An ultrasound probe will be used to visualise the Achilles tendon in real-time, allowing our specialist to identify the precise injection site.
Injection: A fine needle will be inserted into the affected tendon area, and the medication will be carefully administered.
Post-Procedure Care: After the injection, you will receive instructions on managing any discomfort and activities to avoid for optimal recovery.

When to Seek Treatment

If you experience persistent pain or stiffness in the Achilles tendon that does not improve with rest, ice, or over-the-counter medications, it’s essential to seek professional care. Additionally, if symptoms worsen or interfere with your daily activities or sports, contact RAD Clinics in Milton Keynes for a comprehensive evaluation and Achilles treatment.
