Scan Referral
It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver. – Mahatma Gandhi
MRI scanning
At the clinic, we are able to refer you for an MRI scan if you are paying for it privately. Patients using insurance will need to contact the insurance company and follow their specific protocol. This usually involves seeing a GP for referral to a specialist who will order an MRI. We are unable to access any treatment on the NHS but we can send a recommendation or write to your doctor.
At the clinic, we are able to refer you for an MRI scan. The scanner is situated at Nuffield Hospital, Scraptoft Lane, Leicester LE5 1HY. It is a state-of-the-art facility. We can also refer you to Heath Lodge Clinic, 1357 Warwick Road, Knowle, Solihull, West Midlands, B93 9LW
Process:
To be referred, please get in touch with the clinic to make an appointment with a physio. The cost of your MRI scan will be at a discounted rate when you get a direct referral from one of our physiotherapists.
Bone Density Scan
The bone density (DEXA) scan is used to assess for osteoporosis.
Bones are made of a thick outer shell (cortical bone) and a thinner honeycomb bone called trabeculae. In osteoporosis the finer honeycomb bone is broken down and the bones become fragile and break more easily. This is different to osteoarthritis of the bone, which is where the joints wear out.
For excellent information on the causes of Osteoporosis and prevention, go to the National Osteoporotic Society website.
For more information about osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, please speak to one of our experienced physios for advice and treatment.
We are currently able to refer to the Heath Lodge Clinic and they can book you in for this for this service.
