Our physiotherapy-led tendinopathy clinic means you’ll be in expert hands – we have some of the UK’s very best physiotherapists on site at LycaHealth who will assess your injury. With tendinopathy it is often necessary to use MRI, X-ray or Ultrasound to accurately diagnose the injury. Luckily, we have state of the art diagnostic imaging equipment; our private 3.0T MRI scanner is twice as powerful as most MRI scanners, which is more likely to spot issues. Once you’ve been diagnosed, you’ll be referred to the appropriate specialist for treatment and a carefully tailored recovery and aftercare plan.

Treatment can include physiotherapy, joint injections, orthotics and also Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) and effective treatment for pain relief and helps to restore mobility.

Testimonials

"Clean, bright and modern premises with state of the art facilities. Staff are friendly and welcoming, and the MRI technician was super friendly and professional. I was very nervous about undergoing the MRI but the technician was very empathetic, reassuring and made me feel at ease. I can't thank her enough. I would definitely recommend Lyca Health to friends and family."

"The services at LycaHealth Clinic, starting from the reception, are 100% client-focused and excellent! I had issues after becoming premenopausal about a year ago and just turned 50 this year. During this time, I started experiencing things such as fibroids, pounding migraines, high blood pressure readings, high cholesterol readings, pre-diabetic condition, and stomach pain nearly 5 times a week. The week I started my treatment all the pains have disappeared. I haven't used any painkillers for almost 3 months. Now I'm walking frequently and averaging over 10,000 steps over 4 times a week, and I'm really re-establishing my relationship with food. I cannot begin to thank LycaHealth, Dr. Siva Sivappriyan and Dr. Sharma enough."

"Professional and friendly. I required an MRI at short notice and Lyca Health did everything they could to accommodate. The staff were exceptionally courteous and professional. I would recommend wholeheartedly."

"Satisfied all that I needed on my visit. No problems, all straightforward. Can recommend this service."

"Building was impeccable and the facilities were all top-notch and brand new. It looks more like a corporate penthouse than a medical centre! Staff were great, friendly (not too robotic) and told me what I needed. Referred me for a scan and I had it onsite - happy days! Perfect place to get everything done. Also: all covered by my insurance too!"
