Why Did We Establish

About The Centre for Joint Preservation

 
The need for the Centre
Our clinic director, Manoj Sood, is a hip and knee specialist and has offered joint preserving treatments for nearly two decades as part of his practice.

He had treated patients from other clinics who had either been pushed toward surgery, when other non-surgical treatments could have helped, or conversely had been pushed towards non-surgical treatments (sometimes at great expense) when their arthritis and disability was clearly too far gone for these to have a realistic hope of helping. He had also seen clinics that focused on only a few treatments rather than offering patients the full range of possible options.

He wanted to set up a clinic that was different.

What we offer

Our clinic is  dedicated to non-surgical treatments for hip and knee pain and patients can be assured that they will receive:
  • an accurate diagnosis of their pain, including more rare conditions
  • advice on the full range of possible treatment options
  • clear and balanced advice about appropriate treatments and their likely chance of success
  • treatment by a specialist team with expertise in the various treatment options
Not forgetting exercise, bracing and nutrition
 
Manoj has over the years also recognised the vital importance of appropriate (and realistic) exercise therapy and bracing where needed. The clinic also offers dietary and supplement advice as needed. These modalities are very often not considered as part of the overall treatment plan when non-surgical treatments are recommended by other clinics. They are however considered in every patient that we see in our clinic. We are always holistic in our approach.
 
 
What if my arthritis or joint damage is too advanced for joint preservation?
 
Some clients have arthritis that is so severe and disabling that it is very unlikely to be controlled by non-surgical treatment. This is especially the case if the arthritis has caused damage to the bones that make up the joint and bone loss. This cannot be ignored as it is likely to progress, leading to bigger problems if the joint isn’t replaced in a reasonable time frame. We always look for this as part of our assessment. Manoj Sood, our Clinic Director, is a highly experienced surgeon and can provide advice on the different types of joint replacement that are available, the likely time-frame within which these might be needed and appropriate pain relief options or treatments in the meantime.
 

Rest assured. We’ve got you. We will give you a clear and logical plan and do everything we can help your pain and preserve your own hip or knee joints wherever possible.
