Following assessment, or throughout your course of treatment, if your physiotherapist recommends an MRI scan or other imaging to investigate your condition, we have partnerships set up with local diagnostic centres to access this service quickly and easily. Your physiotherapist is able to send immediate referral for scans such as MRI, X-ray and CT scan. Once referred, you will be contacted within 24 hrs to make the appointment which are offered seven days a week with appointments late into the evening if required.
On the day, you are provided with the images obtained and then a report is written on the scan by a radiologist and a report is sent back to both you and our physiotherapist that referred you within three working days. Our physiotherapist will then either ring you or see you in-clinic to discuss the results and how it informs your course of treatment. If onward referral is required, they will write a letter doing so.
It is also worth remembering that we offer Diagnostic Ultrasound scanning in-clinic, but there are some conditions that require different types of imaging. We have found these services hugely beneficial over the years for both our patients and physiotherapists. It is also much cheaper than seeking imaging via private hospitals, whose prices are much, much higher.
