Why Reading patients choose Oxford Injection Clinic
Reading patients often come to us because the same-visit scan + injection model saves them the multiple appointments they'd need locally. Evening slots and Saturday appointments make the trip up feasible without taking annual leave.
Reading's large tech and financial workforce brings us many desk-based upper-back, neck and shoulder problems, plus tennis and squash injuries from an active club scene. Older Reading residents often travel up for a second opinion on knee and shoulder arthritis before committing to surgery.
