Diagnosis & Treatment

An appointment at The Edinburgh Clinic’s Joint & Muscle Clinic starts with a chat with Dr Cameron. By finding out about you, your work, your hobbies, your family, your fitness level and your overall health, Dr Cameron will build up a complete picture of you and your life. Next, the discussion will move onto the problem you have with your joints or muscles, followed by a thorough examination of the area in question.

Dr Cameron will then arrange for any further investigations such as x-rays or scans to be carried out onsite at The Edinburgh Clinic and, if possible, during the appointment. The next step is for Dr Cameron and you, the patient, to consider all the possible treatment options, such as painkillers, physiotherapy, guided injections, acupuncture or referral to an orthopaedic surgeon for a specialist consultation. “My job’s not to tell people what to do about their joint or muscle pain but to speak to them about their best options and, between us, come up with a plan,” stressed Dr Cameron.

During an appointment at the Joint & Muscle Clinic, Dr Cameron also discusses how the problem arose in the first place and provides extensive advice on how to prevent future joint and muscle problems. “I like people to go away with a simple, clear understanding of what’s gone wrong and what can be done about it,” says Dr Cameron. “So much can be done to protect joints and muscles and prevent joint and muscle problems and the pain they wreak.”

All going well, one appointment with Dr Cameron at The Edinburgh Clinic’s Joint & Muscle Clinic will result in diagnosis, treatment – and lots of advice and information to help you improve the health of your joints and muscles.
