We are very pleased to be able to provide diagnostic ultrasound services in the rooms. Dr White and Dr du Plessis have been involved in post graduate training in the use of ultrasound in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal conditions.
The availability of this allows for a more accurate and rapid confirmation of your diagnosis so that treatment can be initiated in a timely manner.
The ultrasound also allows more accuracy in the placement of injections. This should improve the outcome from such injections.
It is our belief that correct treatment requires an accurate diagnosis. The commencement of treatment to an injury without knowing the diagnosis goes against our ideals.
To enable the best form of treatment available, we utilise the services of a wide variety of like-minded health professionals with a special interest in sports medicine.
It is vitally important that you are actively involved in the decision making about your own care.
We are very keen to avoid doing anything to people that would cause harm. Whilst some treatments will have inherent risks, there are other treatments where the risk is unacceptable and will not be offered.
