"A truly amazing experience visiting DR…"

A truly amazing experience visiting DR Ram at the clinic today.

I was given a USG guided injection to help with pain and movement to my frozen shoulder. Before administering the injection Dr Ram scanned the shoulder and showed me exactly what he was going to do. He also pinpointed a secondary issue I can now refer to my Doctor. I made a 13 hour round trip from Devon and it was so well worth it

"Pain Free Straight Away"

Id been suffering with shoulder pain for over a year which by January had reduced me to just existing and taking pain killers. The GPs fobbed me off with a printout of physio exercises. Desperate, a week ago I visited Ram at his Jesmond clinic. I found him to be very professional, took his time to explain what he was doing and what my diagnosis is. He administered two injections which I hardly felt. The whole experience was great as Ram was friendly and clearly loves his job. A week on I am totally pain free, movement back and praying the effect will last a while. If I need to have further treatments I will definitely go back to Ram. In fact I wish I’d done it months ago.

"Outstanding Clinician and pain free!"

Following a gym-cident in September I'd been in daily pain with my shoulder and arm. My mobility was severely limited and I was unable to do simple tasks, such as put dinner plates in a cupboard or pour water from a kettle. The pain at night would keep me awake. I'd worked with my trainer and my sports masseuse as I thought the issue was a pulled muscle, but nothing we did gave me any comfort. It was suggested a I get an ultrasound to see what the issue was. My first ultrasound was at a clinic I'd used before, they identified it as a shoulder impingement and suggested a guided cortisone injection. Sadly the wait on the NHS is months long so I decided to look privately and came across some wonderful reviews about Ram.

I was super hesitant as I'd not used Ram before and having anyone inject you, you have to be sure they know what they are doing. Ram was incredible. I was able to see him within 48 hours and even though I'd had one ultrasound he was thorough and performed his own and not only did he concur with the impingement, he found a small calcium deposit that could impact me over time. He agreed a cortisone injection would be the best treatment and he administered that for me there and then. The injection was mildly uncomfortable, nowhere near as painful as I thought it could be. Within minutes my pain score was significantly less, I was able to put my coat on with no arm pain. I woke up the next morning pain free, for the first time in three months. My mobility was back but was advised by Ram to take it easy for the next week, no other physio or sports massages. I returned to the gym last night and was able to resume my workout pain free and with my mobility back! Ram gave me advice on what arm exercises to avoid in the future in order to keep any calcium deposits to a minimum. I only wish I had seen Ram first and had the guided ultrasound with him first. I'd have been pain free much sooner.

Ram is calming, knowledgeable and will relax the most nervous of patient. I would heartily recommend Ram and his MSK guided ultrasound to anyone looking for a exceptional clinician.

"PRP really does work"

I have had an ongoing injury due to repetitive strain causing tennis elbow and golfers elbow.

I decided to find a private company instead of the long wait on the NHS. I had a consultation with Ram who was very professional and explained everything about the treatment I needed to get better.

I would like to thank him for the amazing and professional work he carried out, fixing this issue that’s been affecting me for the past 3 years. Anyone looking for PRP injections I would highly recommend using this company.

Finally I am pain free and can continue with working and getting back to every day life without any worries

"Managed to get an appointment with Ram…"

Managed to get an appointment with Ram Rachaputi
at short notice
Excellent service He took time to explain everything to do with my ankle and used a scanner to locate the specific area that needed treatment. He treated accordingly. Would certainly recommend

"Cortisone injection"

I made an appointment with Ram, for a ultrasound guided cortisone injection in my hip.
Very friendly, knowledgable and professional.
I would highly recommend joint care clinics.

"I have had many injections on various…"

I have had many injections on various joints on my body,have been to many private clinics but after seeing Ramakrishna inject my left shoulder I can honestly report that he is very professional,he explains the scan in a layman’s terms so easy to understand,he is calm and one can sense he is well experienced….I would recommend him to anyone who has pain & I will definitely use him again should my pain returns

"Ramakrishna Rachaputi, Pain Specialist"

Although my knee pain wasn’t considered as far advanced so as to need a replacement op, something that pleases me as I’ve no wish to go under the knife again, the pain has been bad.

I discovered Ostenil and had injections in my right knee to ease the condition.
It helped but, due to problems in the NHS, I’ve been unable to secure a consistent supply of appointments to make it effective.

I found Ramakrishna who gave it to me privately.
From our first meeting I was impressed with his manner, his understanding and the care he took.

Subsequent injections haven’t worked as well so I decided to try a treatment not available on the NHS.

PRP: Platelet Rich Plasma . . . The patient’s blood is withdrawn and spun in a centrifuge to remove the platelets which is then drawn into a syringe and injected back into their body at the site of the pain. I had no other options left to try.
I knew that Ram offered this service and booked an appointment on Sept. 19th, 2022.
He recommended three appointments, each a couple of weeks apart.
It took straight away and lasted about a week.
The second injection was given on Oct 5th, 2022 and lasted a little longer.

The third one on Oct 24th, 2022.
Five + weeks, now.
No pains, some minor discomfort but this is caused by other factors.
All in all, a success.
Ram is a professional in all the levels of professionalism.

He listens carefully so he’s able to understand the problem.
His clinic in Rugby is clean and welcoming.
He is punctual and expects no less from his patients.
After careful examination of my knee on my second visit, he decided to draw off fluid before injecting the plasma in.
He is monitoring all the time on an ultra-sound machine so as to place the needle into the optimum spot.
On the 5th Oct, my second visit, he administered a steroid injection into my wife’s right hip due to consistent, and worsening, pain.
Instant relief and she is still pain free.

All in all, I have a faith and trust in Ram and his treatments that I have in only one other.

Our lives are governed by our health and well-being, and once the pain is taken away we realise just how much it debilitates and affect us.
I cannot recommend Ram highly enough.

"Very Professional and Exceptional Service. Highly recommended for pain sufferers"

Ram is very experienced, professional, helpful and full of knowledge.
Got quick appointment and treatment . He explained everything clearly and in a easy way to understand. Thank you

"Excellent Service - highly recommended!"

Within 72 hours of calling the joint care clinic, I had an ultrasound performed on my shoulder and had received a detailed interpretation of the findings. Extremely efficient service. Ram was very patient in explaining my results and gave his honest opinion throughout. I will certainly be re-visiting Ram in the near future for support in diagnosing any other injuries which come my way. Thank you!
