 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I saw Marek again for an ultrasound steroid injection for my bursitis.  He checked through my notes before arranging an appointment making sure this was ok. When I arrived he was friendly but very professional.  He checked where my pain was and whilst injecting me kept asking how I was. After the procedure we chatted about alternative procedures for the future which was good.  Would definitely recommend Marek

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In extreme pain following a rheumatic flare I desperately searched in vain for a steroid injection to my wrist through various NHS providers.  In desperation I contacted Physio-Soton and was seen the next day.

The service and results were second to none. I received an Ultrasound guided steroid injection and felt immediate relief and the joint has got better each day since.

As most people under rheumatology know getting help quickly is almost impossible so this service is a lifeline for those in severe pain and I could not recommend it highly enough.

Going from 10/10 pain to mild discomfort in the space of a day is remarkable and Physio-Soton will be the first port of call in future. I am forever grateful for the level of service and clinical expertise.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Personally I've often been sceptical of reaching of for scans or therapy work due to poor past experiences, however I can say upon visiting Marek this is one of the few places I've been that offer a great service.

Clear and direct feedback with open communication made the appointment flow smoothly.

I'd highly recommend for anyone who's got some niggles or injures that just don't seem to be healing and you need to know/understand what's going on.

****** 6 stars as google only offers 5.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a same week appointment with Marek to have an ultrasound on my ankle where I had concerns of a long ongoing achilles complaint. Marek was very thorough in his assessment and recommended exercises to help relieve. He also provided a thorough report and copies of the scans to share with my GP and NHS specialist I am under. Would definitely recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Marek. He’s very professional and approachable. I went to see him with shoulder pain. He did an ultrasound and then administered an injection. Went through everything really well so I knew what to expect during and after the procedure. I will definitely be seeing him again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I initially saw Marek after suffering a sporting injury to my right bicep, elbow and shoulder. He was referred to me by my chiropractor as I was keen to get an ultrasound as quickly as possible. Marek offered me a next day appointment and spent an hour conducting a full and thorough ultrasound of the soft tissue and joints in the affected areas. He was very reassuring and professional, taking his time to explain everything clearly and making sure I understood what he diagnosed. I left feeling much happier and with a clear understanding of what I needed to do to recover.

A second follow up appointment built on the first, more reassurance and new exercises to help build up strength and confidence.

Overall I would highly recommend Marek. He is calm, reassuring, professional and patient. Thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Extremely happy and impressed. For context, I am a 21 year old male who contacted Marek due to acromioclavicular joint issues due to weightlifting. He was able to book me in a few days from my phone call with him. All my questions were answered in a detailed and informative manner, and the aftercare was great as he phoned me later in the day after reviewing my ultrasound images. The most important thing to note is his moral integrity which I was so surprised with due to how many people are today. Because of my issue I thought I would need a joint injection, however he said for my case this would be unnecessary and potentially delay healing. This is surprising as many practitioners these days would advise having the injection merely to make a buck off of me. I really respect this honesty and truthfulness. Thanks very much.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent experience with Marek at Physio-Soton. I came in with a long-running Achilles problem and he took a proper history, reviewed my training, tested the tendon thoroughly with Ultrasound — diagnosis, imaging and a clear rehab advice all in one visit. He was honest about what the findings meant for my running rather than telling me what I wanted to hear, and explained everything in plain terms. As a triathlete it's rare to find a physio who is also an MSK sonographer and genuinely understands training load. Highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience with Marek following my car accident. From the initial phone call through to my appointment at the clinic, he was professional, well spoken, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which immediately put me at ease.

He carried out a detailed ultrasound scan of my shoulder, and having access to advanced diagnostic equipment within the clinic meant the assessment was thorough and precise. He clearly explained the findings, what they meant, and the treatment options available, giving me a much better understanding of my injury.

Marek is highly experienced, exceptionally knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on providing the best care for his patients. His professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail were outstanding. I would highly recommend Marek to anyone looking for an accurate diagnosis and first-class treatment.

What is prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy is a non-surgical orthopedic procedure using glucose injections to repair weak ligaments, joints and tendons. These anatomical structures cause pain when they become weak and unstable. It is an injection therapy with the use of glucose.

Prolotherapy – how does it work?

Prolotherapy works very well in treatment of chronic (long-standing) conditions. It causes an acute inflamatory reaction to which the body responds by using its natural healing properties to fix all the damaged tissues and induce regeneration with the formation of new functional tissues. Glucose is locally an irritant to any tendon, ligament or joint. Prolotherapy is a very precise injection that aims to treat the weak area.

Prolotherapy – how long does it work?

Once the solution is injected it works to regenerate tissues for 12-15 months. This treatment increases the oxygen and blood supply to the healining tissues. Prolotherapy is really a self-repair procedure.

When do you recommend prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy is indicated in most cases of painful musculo-skeletal conditions. Over 90% of these cases respond well to prolotherapy. Patients who cannot have surgery and have chronic muscle pain can benefit from prolotherapy. Prolotherapy is an alternative to surgery and reduces pain.

Prolotherapy – which conditions can it be helpful for?

It can be helpful in many unstable sitauations within the musculoskeletal system. Weak ligaments or tendons cause pain which oftentimes leads to chronic pain. If not treated at the site of instability, these weak structures will degenerate and pain may worsen.

Prolotherapy can help you with:

Low back pain

Arthritis

Neck and head pain

Fibromialgia

Sports trauma

Whiplash cervical injury

Tendinosis

Any partial tendon or ligamental tears

Knee pain

TMJ pain

Feet pain

Elbow pain
