At Wessex Pain Clinic, our doctor-led team begins by discussing how the injury occurred, the specific activities involved, and the severity of your symptoms. We conduct a physical examination to evaluate swelling, tenderness, joint stability, and muscle strength. If necessary, imaging tests such as X-rays, MRIs, or ultrasounds help identify fractures, ligament damage, or soft tissue injuries. We may also observe your functional movement—like a gait analysis—to fine-tune the diagnosis and guide rehabilitation goals.
