Why Headington patients choose Oxford Injection Clinic
Hospital and Brookes staff regularly self-refer to us because they can be scanned, injected and back at work within a lunch break. NHS-consultant-style care, without waiting six months for a follow-up.
Headington's high concentration of healthcare workers, academics and long-standing older residents produces a lot of shoulder impingement, rotator cuff tendinopathy and knee osteoarthritis. Many patients tell us they wanted a second opinion after a slow NHS pathway.
