Have you injured your knee within the last four weeks and find the pain from this has meant you can’t exercise or perform simple tasks comfortably? Our clinic is set-up specifically to help you.
Our experienced team can see you promptly (Generally within 24 hours during weekdays) diagnose your injury and set in place a rehabilitation programme to get you back to injury free.
Knee injuries often require a co-ordinated approach to treatment, so we work closely with Sport and Exercise Physicians at Axis Sports Medicine, Orthopaedic Surgeons and radiology providers, bringing all this together for you.
You may also qualify to be placed on the Careway Programme, fully funded by ACC and, importantly, at no cost to you.
Three times a week, we run a dedicated clinic for acute knee injuries. You will be seen first by a Sport and Exercise Physician, followed up by a physiotherapist and then to radiology for any imaging (e.g. X-ray/MRI). This gives you a clear diagnosis, gets your rehab started straight away and ultimately saves you time.
These clinics run at:
St Johns - Monday
We can also see you outside of these times but will not be able to coordinate the other same-day appointments.
It provides injured New Zealanders with better and faster access to great healthcare services. All with the aim of getting you injury free. Careway is a fully funded programme from ACC, which means no cost for your physiotherapy or if you need it, consultations with a Sport and Exercise Physician or Orthopaedic Surgeon, or any radiology scans (like x-rays or MRIs).
In your first consultation with your physiotherapist, you will be assessed to see if your injury qualifies. If it does, a dedicated team will work with you to set goals and to design a care plan that meets your needs. That may just involve physiotherapy or include assessments and treatment from other specialists. You will remain under the care of Careway until you have recovered.
All patients must first be diagnosed and assessed before being placed on to the Careway pathway. Generally speaking, however, if you have suffered a severe knee injury, you have a good chance of qualifying.
