Musculoskeletal Medicine & Joint Injections at The Wright Practice, Harley Street

Joint pain, tendon injuries, back pain and sports-related problems are among the most common causes of pain and reduced quality of life.

At The Wright Practice, we take a comprehensive approach to musculoskeletal health. Treatment may involve rehabilitation, physiotherapy, chiropractic care, joint injections or regenerative therapies depending on the underlying condition and individual goals.

Our focus is not simply on reducing pain, but on improving function, restoring mobility and helping patients return to the activities they enjoy.

Our Musculoskeletal Team

Successful treatment of musculoskeletal problems often requires more than a single intervention.

At The Wright Practice, patients have access to a multidisciplinary team with expertise in diagnosis, rehabilitation, manual therapy, exercise prescription, image-guided procedures and advanced injection therapies.

Dr Dan Wright provides medical assessment, diagnostic evaluation and a range of injection therapies including corticosteroid injections, Arthrosamid, PRP and regenerative treatments. He has a particular interest in helping patients avoid unnecessary surgery where possible and supporting long-term joint health.

Dr George Ross is an experienced chiropractor with a particular interest in spinal health, joint mechanics and movement-based rehabilitation. His approach focuses on improving mobility, reducing pain and helping patients return to normal activity.

Greg Ryan is an experienced physiotherapist who specialises in rehabilitation, injury recovery, strength restoration and return to sport. Physiotherapy often forms a central component of long-term recovery and injury prevention.

Dr Duncan Brennand is a Consultant Interventional Radiologist with expertise in image-guided musculoskeletal procedures. Ultrasound and imaging-guided interventions can improve procedural accuracy and may be particularly valuable for selected joint, tendon and soft tissue conditions.

By combining medical assessment, physiotherapy, chiropractic care, interventional radiology expertise and advanced injection therapies, we are able to offer a comprehensive and personalised approach to musculoskeletal health.

Assessment & Diagnosis

Successful treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis.

Many musculoskeletal conditions present with similar symptoms but require very different management strategies.

Our assessment process focuses on identifying the true source of pain, understanding contributing factors and creating an individualised treatment plan.

Back & Neck Pain

Back and neck pain are among the most common musculoskeletal complaints.

Assessment may identify disc problems, facet joint pain, muscle dysfunction, postural issues, nerve irritation or degenerative changes.

Treatment is tailored according to the underlying cause and may involve rehabilitation, physiotherapy, chiropractic treatment, injections or specialist referral where required.

Sports Injuries

Sports injuries may affect muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints.

Whether the problem relates to running, golf, tennis, cycling, gym training or other sporting activities, our aim is to identify the cause of symptoms and support a safe return to activity.

Arthritis Assessment

Osteoarthritis commonly affects the knees, hips, shoulders and small joints of the hands.

Whilst arthritis cannot be reversed, a range of treatments may help reduce pain, improve function and potentially delay the need for surgery.

Tendon & Soft Tissue Injuries

Tendinopathy is a common cause of persistent pain and may affect the Achilles tendon, rotator cuff, elbow, patellar tendon and other structures.

Treatment options range from rehabilitation programmes through to injection therapies depending on the severity and duration of symptoms.

Conservative & Rehabilitative Treatments

For many musculoskeletal conditions, rehabilitation remains the most important component of treatment.

Improving strength, mobility, movement patterns and overall biomechanics often provides the best long-term outcomes.

Physiotherapy and Exercise Rehabilitation

Physiotherapy plays a central role in the treatment of many musculoskeletal conditions.

Treatment may focus on pain reduction, mobility restoration, strength development, injury recovery and prevention of recurrence.

Individualised rehabilitation programmes remain one of the most effective treatments for many musculoskeletal conditions.

Treatment plans are designed to improve strength, mobility and resilience whilst reducing the risk of future injury.

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic treatment can be helpful for selected patients with spinal, joint and mobility-related problems.

Treatment focuses on restoring movement, improving biomechanics and supporting long-term musculoskeletal health.

Sports Performance & Injury Prevention

For active individuals, treatment should focus not only on recovery but also on preventing future injury.

Assessment of biomechanics, training load and movement patterns can help identify factors contributing to recurrent problems.

Injection & Regenerative Treatments

Injection therapies can play an important role in the management of musculoskeletal conditions, helping to reduce pain, improve function and support recovery. Different treatments work in different ways and are appropriate for different clinical situations. Some focus primarily on reducing inflammation, whilst others aim to support tissue healing, improve joint function or provide longer-lasting symptom relief.

The most appropriate treatment depends upon the diagnosis, severity of symptoms, previous treatments, imaging findings and individual goals. Our role is to help patients understand the available options and determine which approach is most likely to provide meaningful benefit.

Corticosteroid Injections

Corticosteroid injections reduce inflammation and can provide rapid symptom relief.

They are commonly used for bursitis, frozen shoulder, trigger finger, arthritis flares, tendon-related pain and other inflammatory conditions.

For appropriately selected patients, they can provide substantial short- to medium-term relief.

Ultrasound-Guided Injections

Where appropriate, ultrasound guidance can improve accuracy and ensure medication is delivered precisely to the target structure.

This can be particularly helpful for tendon, bursal and smaller joint injections.

Arthrosamid for Knee Arthritis

Arthrosamid is a non-biodegradable hydrogel injection designed for patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Unlike corticosteroid injections, which primarily reduce inflammation, Arthrosamid becomes integrated within the synovial lining of the knee joint and may provide longer-lasting symptom relief.

It is particularly attractive for patients seeking a non-surgical option for managing knee arthritis.

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)

PRP uses a concentrated preparation of the patient’s own platelets obtained from a blood sample.

Platelets contain growth factors that may support tissue healing and recovery.

PRP is commonly used for tendon injuries, tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy and selected joint conditions.

It has become increasingly popular amongst both athletes and non-athletes seeking a regenerative approach to treatment.

Exosome Therapy

Exosomes are microscopic signalling particles released by cells that play a role in communication and tissue repair.

Exosome therapy is an emerging area of regenerative medicine and may be considered in selected patients with joint, tendon or soft tissue problems.

The evidence base continues to evolve, and treatment decisions should be individualised following careful discussion of potential benefits and limitations.

Choosing The Right Injection Treatment

There is no single injection that is appropriate for every patient or every condition.

Some treatments are designed primarily to reduce inflammation, whilst others aim to support tissue healing or provide longer-term symptom relief. Factors such as the diagnosis, severity of symptoms, previous treatments, imaging findings and individual goals all influence which option may be most suitable.

During consultation, we review the wider clinical picture and discuss the potential benefits, limitations and evidence supporting each treatment. This allows patients to make informed decisions and helps ensure that treatment recommendations are tailored to their individual circumstances rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

Our Treatment Philosophy

There is rarely a single treatment that works for every patient.

Some patients respond best to physiotherapy, others to chiropractic treatment, others to injection therapy and some may ultimately require surgical assessment.

Our philosophy is to select the least invasive treatment likely to achieve meaningful improvement whilst maintaining a clear focus on long-term function, mobility and quality of life.

We believe the best outcomes are achieved when diagnosis, rehabilitation and intervention work together as part of a coordinated treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a chiropractor and a physiotherapist?

Both work with musculoskeletal conditions, but the approaches differ. Chiropractors focus particularly on the spine and joint function, using manual adjustments alongside exercise and soft tissue work, while physiotherapists tend to use more exercise-based rehabilitation.

How many chiropractic appointments will I need?

This depends on the nature and chronicity of your condition. Acute injuries may respond within a few sessions, while long-standing conditions may need more. Dr Dan will give you a realistic indication at your first appointment.

Is chiropractic treatment safe?

Chiropractic is generally very safe when performed by a qualified practitioner. Dr Dan holds a master’s degree and postgraduate certification and has over 10 years of experience.

Can chiropractic treatment help with headaches?

Yes. Many headaches, particularly tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches arising from the neck, respond well to chiropractic treatment.

Can Dr Dan provide a corticosteroid injection without a chiropractic assessment first?

Yes. Joint injections with Dr Dan can be arranged directly, particularly for patients who already have a diagnosis and are seeking injection therapy.

Is the Arthrosamid knee injection available at The Wright Practice?

Yes. The Arthrosamid knee injection for knee osteoarthritis is performed by Dr Dan at 101 Harley Street.

Can musculoskeletal treatment help with back pain during pregnancy?

Dr Dan can assess and treat musculoskeletal back pain in pregnant patients using appropriate low-force techniques. Please mention your pregnancy when booking.

How much does a chiropractic appointment cost?

A new appointment is £140; follow-up appointments are £100.

Can I see Dr Dan for sports injuries as well as chronic pain?

Yes, his approach covers both acute sports injuries and longer-standing musculoskeletal conditions, with a treatment plan tailored to the specific injury and timeline.

What happens at a first chiropractic appointment?

Dr Dan will assess your condition, discuss your history and goals, and recommend an appropriate treatment plan, which may include manual techniques, soft tissue work, or a home exercise programme depending on what’s found.
