Bones, Muscles and Joint problems
Patients with back and joint pain, including conditions such as arthritis, can now get an appointment with a physiotherapist directly, rather than waiting to see a GP or being referred to hospital.
The PCN employs a team of First Contact Physiotherapists with enhanced skills. They can help patients with musculoskeletal issues such as back, neck and joint pain by:
assessing and diagnosing issues
giving expert advice on how best to manage their conditions
referring them onto specialist services if necessary.
You can ask for a telephone appointment with a First Contact Physiotherapist through your GP surgery
