Achilles Tendinitis Assessment for Patients from Oxford

If you are considering RAD Clinics for Achilles tendon pain, you would attend an operating branch outside Oxford. We do not have an Oxford clinic.

Our Milton Keynes branch is one option to discuss with the team. Check the appointment type and journey before deciding whether it suits your needs.

Your appointment option in Milton Keynes

The clinic is at:

1, The Courtyard, Brookland Farm, Newport Road, Broughton, Milton Keynes, MK16 0HU.

Call 01908 596996 to enquire. Review the Milton Keynes clinic details before arranging transport.

Make the assessment useful

If you have already received care in Oxford, bring previous reports and rehabilitation details. Explain what has improved, what remains difficult and why you are seeking another assessment.

You do not need to arrange new imaging solely to make an enquiry. Ask the team what information would be useful before attending.

Consider the whole treatment plan

Plan your assessment and rehabilitation together so you understand how your care will progress. Discuss how reviews would work and whether recommendations could be followed alongside care closer to home.

Our Achilles tendinopathy guide explains assessment, strengthening and activity planning.

Cortisone Injections for Achilles Tendinitis

At RAD Clinics, we provide ultrasound-guided injections as a non-surgical treatment option for Achilles tendinitis. This minimally invasive procedure allows for precise medication delivery directly to the inflamed area.

Before travelling from Oxford

Confirm the clinic, appointment fee and service you have selected. Ask about any proposed procedure’s aftercare before making transport arrangements.

An appointment at RAD Clinics should fit your clinical needs as well as your travel plans. We do not claim that Milton Keynes is the nearest option for every Oxford patient.

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 sterilized.
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 for a comprehensive evaluation.
