Richard Craig

Richard is a highly skilled and experienced musculoskeletal physiotherapist and sonographer. He has 30 years experience of diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions. He has worked extensively within the NHS and private sectors as both a physiotherapist and a sonographer. He has practiced injection therapy since 2007, using steroids and local anaesthetics to speed the recovery process. He started practicing diagnostic ultrasound in 2009 and has since completed training to Master’s level with CASE accreditation, allowing him to perform formal diagnostic ultrasound investigations within the NHS and private sector. 

In 2015 Richard completed his "Non-medical prescribing" course, which allowed him to prescribe medications directly to patients. 

Since training in ultrasound guided injection therapy Richard has performed all his injections with ultrasound guidance. This allows for extremely accurate and precise placement of the needle, ensuring that the injection is placed exactly where it is needed. Richard is currently performing several thousand injections per year, making him one of the most experienced clinicians at this skill.
