Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
Diagnostics and Joint Injection Therapy
We are proud to offer musculoskeletal ultrasound diagnostics and joint injection therapy at The Joint Effort Medical Clinic in Watford. Our advanced ultrasound technology allows our highly qualified doctors to pinpoint the exact source of your pain, providing clarity on conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or sports injuries. This approach enables an accurate diagnosis, so we can develop a treatment plan for you, whether you're struggling with persistent joint discomfort or a recent injury.

Injection Therapies
Corticosteroids, Ostenil®, Durolane and Arthrosamid®

All our injection treatments are carried out under ultrasound guidance, ensuring the medication reaches exactly the right spot for safe and effective results.
