Orthopaedic Appointments and Sports Medicine

If joint pain, stiffness, or injury is stopping you from living life to the fullest, expert orthopaedic care can make all the difference. Whether you’re an athlete recovering from a sports injury or simply want to stay active and pain-free, our specialists provide advanced assessment and treatments designed to restore movement, relieve discomfort, and improve quality of life.

There’s no GP referral required and no NHS waiting list; you can book directly with our Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Specialist and be seen quickly in our Birmingham clinic. With long NHS waiting times for orthopaedic treatment, we offer a faster, more personalised route to recovery.
