Back, Knee or Shoulder Pain? Find Out What Your Body Is Telling You

The pain that comes back every morning. The knee that "clicks" on the stairs. The shoulder you haven't been able to lift without wincing for weeks. Sound familiar? Most of us try to wait it out, hoping it will pass on its own. Sometimes it does. But often it doesn't — and waiting only makes treatment harder.

At My Medyk Dental & Medical Centre in Ealing, we offer orthopaedic consultations that help identify the cause of your symptoms quickly and start effective treatment — before a minor issue becomes a chronic one.

When Should You See an Orthopaedic Specialist?

Not every ache needs an immediate appointment, but there are signs you shouldn't ignore:

• Back pain – lasting more than a few days, worsening when sitting or bending
• Knee pain – swelling, instability, difficulty fully bending or straightening the joint
• Shoulder pain – limited range of motion, pain radiating down the arm, difficulty lifting objects
• Joint injuries – following sports injuries, falls or overuse that don't improve with rest

If you recognise even one of these symptoms, now is the right time to get it checked — not in six months, but today.

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Diagnostics – Why It Matters

One of the most important tools in our clinic is musculoskeletal ultrasound. This is an imaging technique that shows the real-time condition of muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints — with no radiation, no waiting for results, and no unnecessary stress.

Thanks to ultrasound, the doctor can:

• pinpoint the exact source of the pain,
• assess the condition of soft tissue that doesn't show up on an X-ray,
• monitor healing progress after an injury or during treatment,
• decide on the right next steps — from physiotherapy to injections or further diagnostic referrals.

This scan often allows a diagnosis to be made in a single visit.

Who Will See You?

Orthopaedic consultations at My Medyk are led by Dr Marcin Karlikowski, a specialist who combines clinical experience with a genuinely individual approach to every patient. The priority is an accurate diagnosis and a clear treatment plan — no unnecessary steps, and a full understanding of what's happening in your body and how to address it.
