CLINICAL ASSESSMENT, AND GUIDED INJECTIONS AND BIOPSIES
Iain has a great deal experience in assessing (clinical & imaging) joint and soft tissue problems such as
- shoulder pain
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- elbow pain
- hip pain
- heel, ankle and foot pain
If the clinical problem has already been diagnosed then Iain can discuss it with you at the time of the scan. If it is a diagnostic dilemma or more complex a separate consultation is suggested and requires an additional referral for Medicare reimbursement. If appropriate he can advise you on possible interventions.
