Dr Alastair Jones
The Sports Injury Doctor
Welcome! My name is Dr Alastair Jones. I’m a Sports Medicine and Musculoskeletal Physician, known as The Sports Injury Doctor. You can find out more about me here.
With over 15 years of experience in this field, I’ve created and I lead a number of sports injury clinics across Leeds and Bradford, West Yorkshire.
These clinics are multi-professional, meaning I work alongside physiotherapists, radiologists and orthopaedic surgeons, to ensure that you get to see the right person at the right time, to treat your MSK injury in a timely manner.
When you have an MSK injury that affects your day-to-day, or participation in sport, it can be very painful and frustrating. With 18 million people having MSK issues every year, statutory waiting lists exceeding 7 million, and not being able to see the right clinician, your injury could become chronic. Associated MSK and health concerns are inevitable, and the fear that you may never regain your normal is real.
From the elite, to the weekend warrior, my team will support you to return to pre-injury levels of fitness as quickly and safely as possible.
Because you are the centre of my focus.
Here are some typical injuries I see in clinic:
-
Joint injuries
-
Joint pain
-
Tendinopathy / Tendinitis
-
Bone stress reactions and stress fractures
-
Concussion
My philosophies are to diagnose, treat and prevent.
With clinical evaluation and diagnostic testing to find the cause of your problem, the following tools and treatments are available to support your recovery:
-
In-clinic MSK ultrasound
-
X-ray, CT and MRI
-
Viscosupplementation, steroid and PRP injections
-
Physiotherapy and exercise rehabilitation
-
Onward surgical referral if necessary
By addressing the underlying problem, and using the most up-to-date evidence-based therapies, I and my team will help you to achieve your goals. This includes guidance and advice on how to prevent recurrence of your injury.
I invite you to read Henry’s story. This real life case-study gives you an example of just how this all works.
