Your musculoskeletal (MSK) pathway

Immediate access

MSK problems are the most common cause of disability in the UK with 1 in 4 GP appointments being for an MSK related issue. The average time to investigation on the NHS for unresponsive MSK problems is in excess of 8 weeks (depending on location). There is then a further significant delay for a referral to a specialist/triage service.

Immediate diagnosis

Our service enables patients with MSK problems to be clinically assessed and scanned (where appropriate) in a single appointment. Where further investigations are required (X-ray/MRI) we can typically organise these within 24/48 hours. These images will be reviewed by some of the best MSK radiologists in the north of England.

Immediate intervention

Where there is a clear indication for an ultrasound guided procedure this can typically be done at the time of your initial appointment. We may have to organise an investigation prior to intervention but this will be discussed on a case by case basis.

Josh at Clinic 360 has treated me on a number of occasions for pain in my elbows, wrists and thumbs. He always listens carefully and backs up his diagnosis with examination and a detailed ultrasound before advising on ways to manage the joint pain. Josh has radministered hydrocortisone injections for my pain; recently this included both thumbs. The treatment I have received from 360 has been quick, efficient and with long-standing success. It has enabled me to continue touch-typing without loosing speed and I am able to continue to contribute successfully to my NHS team.I highly recommend this friendly and empathetic clinic if you are struggling with musculoskeletal pain, they have a variety of treatments available to help you.

Attended the clinic after being diagnosed with frozen shoulder and bursitis. I had been in pain for months and had an ultra sound steroid injection at the clinic. It was the best decision I made to contact Clinic 360. Helen went above and beyond to help me get an appointment as soon as possible. Josh was very knowledgeable and knew within minutes of examining me what the problem was. He explained the procedure to me in detail and I was sent a report on my treatment the same day. Very professional service and such a relief to get rid of the horrendous pain that was with me morning, noon and night. Highly recommend this clinic.

Getting an appointment was very easy and reception staff very polite. I really enjoyed coming to clinic 360 and my ultrasound was clearly explained by Josh and he reassured me about my shoulder. Will definitely come back if I need to. Thank you

This clinic is excellent they have great customer service and a very personal touch which has meant I am in control of managing my condition not just waiting for it to happen to me. They take time to explain things to you.

I had a guided steroid injection into my hip after suffering many months of pain and reduced mobility. My experience of Clinic 360 is that you receive an excellent service from making the call for an appointment to completing the treatment. I received very professional care, the procedure was not painful and I received useful advice on aftercare. 3 days after the injection I am really pleased with the benefits I’m experiencing so far. Thank you to the 360 team

When your in pain this is the place to be,I’ve been three times for injections now and won’t hesitate to go back again I’ve had no trouble whatsoever after my injections, the pain is gone within 24 hours after the sting of injection has worn off give it a try, you don’t get anywhere at the doctors these days and wait months for hospital appointments while your in agony, he’s a lovely man that injects you he can see on screen where you need injecting so you get injected in the absolute right place and you hardly feel a thing, it’s a small friendly clinic.

I visited Clinic 360 for treatment to a long standing problem with Iliotibial Band Syndrome, I was booked in to have a corticosteroid injection into both knees.From walking thru the door I got the impression that the practice looked very modern and clinical.The entire consultation and procedure was carried out in a very professional and agreeable manner by Michael who kept me fully in the loop at all times by explaining exactly what was going on and what he could see from the Ultrasound examination.I'm feeling very hopeful for a good outcome and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the Clinic to anyone.

I had been suffering for some 8 weeks with severe pain in my left wrist/thumb joint, leaving me struggling to write, cook and keeping me awake at night. Very swollen and painkillers, splints and cold/heat treatments ineffective. My GP put me on a waiting list for a steroid injection, but I was told it would be a minimum of ANOTHER 12 weeks.I rang Clinic 360, who could not have been more helpful and I was able to go very promptly. Josh did an ultrasound prior to the injection, explaining that the problem was definitely in the joint and not tenosynovitis as my GP had diagnosed over the phone.The injection WAS very uncomfortable for a couple of minutes - a burning/stinging pain, but within a couple of hours the difference was just amazing! I had the best night's sleep for weeks, the swelling in my wrist is now more or less gone, but most importantly, so has the pain! Very impressed with the service provided and all staff I met there. Would recommend this to anyone suffering chronic pain!

From the initial contact and booking the appointment, my experience at this clinic was excellent . The treatment was clearly explained and carried out in a very professional manner.

A very positive and reassuring experience, with a more definite diagnosis than I'd previously had from 4 visits to NHS Physiotherapy who seemed reluctant to offer a definitive reason for the pain I was suffering in my neck and shoulder.A previous long-standing injury to my rotator cuff was discounted, with the definite cause of the problem being identified as a trapped nerve in my neck.While the problem was not resolved there and then, the further need for an MRI scan to identify the exact cause of the nerve trap and I was able to be more assertive with my GP to get an appointment for a scan which is now booked.Thank you Clinic 360!

Recent appointment with Josh because of very painful knee limiting my ability to walk without a stick.Josh carried out an examination using ultra sound & explained the probable cause of the pain.Following a steroid injection guided by ultra sound, I have seen a good improvement. It is only 3 days since the treatment, but I can now walk without the stick, (although I still have significant pain). Josh advised that it could take a while longer before feeling the full effects of the injection.All in all & very positive experience & recommended.
