Understanding Your Hip or Knee Pain
Preserving Your Natural Joint, Prioritising Your Recovery
Mr Sargeant believes that surgery is never the first and only answer. Many hip and knee conditions can be effectively managed through a holistic, non-invasive approach designed to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and delay, or even prevent, the need for a theatre visit.
​
We work closely with a network of specialist physiotherapists and sports therapists to ensure your treatment plan is as active as you are.
Advanced Non-Surgical Solutions
Targeted Joint Injections
Injections can provide significant relief for patients dealing with osteoarthritis or acute bursitis. These are often performed under precision guidance to ensure maximum efficacy.
​
-
Corticosteroid Injections: Powerful anti-inflammatories used to "calm" a painful joint, providing a window of relief for intensive physiotherapy.
-
Viscosupplementation (Hyaluronic Acid): A treatment that mimics the body’s natural joint fluid, helping to lubricate the knee or hip, reduce friction, and improve cushioning.
Holistic Rehabilitation
The foundation of joint health is strength and flexibility. We provide:
​
-
Tailored Physiotherapy Programs: Focused on muscle strengthening to take the load off the damaged joint.
-
Lifestyle & Weight Management Advice: Reducing the mechanical stress on lower limb joints is one of the most effective ways to preserve bone and cartilage.
-
Activity Modification: Guidance on how to stay active (cycling, swimming, or modified golf) without aggravating your condition.

Is Non-Surgical Care Right for You?
Conservative management is typically the first line of defense for:
-
Early to mid-stage osteoarthritis.
-
Soft tissue inflammation (Bursitis or Tendonitis).
-
Patients who wish to delay surgery due to personal or professional commitments.
-
Cases where "buying time" allows for better long-term surgical outcomes.
