Shoulder injections

I recently attended a steroid injection appointment and had a genuinely positive experience from start to finish. What stood out most was how professional, efficient, and reassuring the entire process felt.

From the moment we arrived, Ram was welcoming and very organised, which helped put me at ease straight away. The clinician took the time to clearly explain the procedure, what to expect during and after the injection, and answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed.
During the appointment itself, everything was handled with great care. The procedure was quick and as comfortable as it could be, thanks to the clinician’s skill and calm approach. The procedure was done with care and was a smooth procedure.
The clinic is very clean and spotless with high standards of care and good quality.
What this company is doing particularly well is combining professionalism with genuine patient care.
Clinician (Ram) was very approachable, knowledgeable and patient with care for the client during the treatment process.
Had the injections 2 months ago and my shoulders are much better, no pain and I can sleep at night.
Overall, a very positive experience that I would confidently recommend to others.

I recently met Ram when having problems with my ankle after a severe break a few years ago. The waiting time on the NHS was ridiculous so I found Ram online. I was given a quick date for a consultation. When I met Ram he was so nice and friendly, honestly, what a lovely man. He provided my steroid injection, and talked me through exactly what he was doing . He answered all my concerns and was very thorough and kind . I can't recommend him enough.

Excellent care and genuine long‑term improvement

I recently had a hyaluronic acid injection for hallux limitus in my right big toe, and my experience with Ram has been exceptional from start to finish. He took the time to properly assess the issue, talk me through the joint scan, and explain my options in a way that felt both reassuring and empowering. His honesty about what to expect made it easy to choose the treatment that was truly right for me.
What has surprised me most is how much this treatment has helped me recover—not just cope. Unlike steroid injections I’ve had in the past, which mainly managed the pain for short periods, the hyaluronic acid has given me meaningful, lasting improvement in both pain and functionality. My first injection lasted around six months before I felt any need to return; after the second, I went over a full year before the discomfort returned. The fact that the intervals between treatments keep getting longer makes me feel like the joint is actively improving rather than deteriorating.
During those pain‑free months, I’m able to stay active, move more naturally, and protect the joint from further wear—something I never achieved with previous treatments.
I’m genuinely grateful for Ram’s expertise, his clear communication, and the positive long‑term impact this approach has had on my day‑to‑day life. Highly recommended.

Shoulder Surgery Review

I’ve had several consultations and treatment with Ram and his team at Joint Care Clinics over the past five years.
Ranging from ground breaking PRP injections (platelet Rich plasma) for Epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
To Cortisone treatment for a torn shoulder muscle.
I’ve not long had an ultrasound scan to confirm success of an operation I had via NHS for said shoulder injury.
Their professional approach is a breath of fresh air in this day and age. and treatment is second to none.
Guiding you through the process, and real-time diagnosis from “ the horses mouth” so to speak.
There is no hard sales pitch, it’s a relaxed envy at their new Rugby HQ.
Pricing is structured, so you know exactly where you stand.
I honestly can’t recommend them enough.
Thanks for your support in my ongoing treatments, in this day and age of the “ NHS Being overwhelmed” it’s so refreshing that a company can offer such a personal service at a reasonable cost.
First Class !!!

Arthrosamid Injections for both Knees

My recent experience at Joint Care Clinics was excellent. Ram is extremely professional and very knowledgable and his advice and support have been second to none.
I have very painful knee osteoarthritis in both my knees for a few years now. Following an initial consultation with Ram, he carried out scans of both knees and thoroughly explained the various options that were open to me going forward.
After some two weeks of further personal deliberation, I decided to move forward and have Arthrosamid injections in both knees.
Ram was extremely helpful and the complete procedure was carried out with minimal pain, time and very efficiently.
I now look forward to hopefully the promised long term effects of the product.
The overall information and advice from Ram both pre and post procedure was excellent.
The additional bonus for me is that Ram is also such a genuine nice and pleasant guy, who without a doubt "knows his subject".
I would not hesitate for a moment to see Ram as a patient for any future issues. Thank you Ram.

Dear Gerry, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind and detailed review.

It was really good to see you again at Rugby, and I genuinely appreciate your trust and your lovely words about your experience at Joint Care Clinics. I’m glad the consultations, scans, explanations, and the Arthrosamid injections all went smoothly and were comfortable for you.

Knee osteoarthritis can be very frustrating to live with, so I’m pleased we were able to talk through the options properly and move forward with a treatment you felt confident about. I now hope you get the long-term benefit we discussed.

Thank you again for your recommendation — it truly means a lot. Wishing you all the very best, and please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you ever need anything in the future. Take Care. Joint Care Clinics

My foot arthritis has been greatly impairing my day-to-day life. I'm now on my second round of treatment with Ram. He thoroughly explains each step, identifies the precise spot needing attention, and lays out all possible treatments, making decision-making straightforward. Working with him feels like a genuine collaboration, which means so much. His skill and attention to his clients are remarkable. With the pain alleviated, I've regained my lifestyle! Thank you, Ram!

I cannot recommend Ram highly enough

I cannot recommend Ram highly enough. I reached out in desperation after being given an incredibly long NHS wait for treatment of Adhesive Capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder) so severe and relentlessly painful that I couldn’t sleep, drive, or do my job.

Ram was so patient, kind, and professional. I had the shoulder hydrodistention with corticosteroid. I won’t lie – it was agony having it done – but SO worth it. Within 48 hours, the pain started to ease, and within 14 days I was pain-free, with a huge amount of my mobility – and my sanity – restored. AMAZING.

I travelled from Devon to Milton Keynes to see Ram, and it was absolutely worth getting up at 5am to do it. Thank you, Ram – I will be forever grateful.

I had a consultation with Mr Rachaputi a few weeks ago for my frozen shoulder.
The consultation was in-depth and very thorough . Mr Rachaputi took time to understand my situation . I had hydrodilatation , where he explained every stage of the procedure and was very reassuring .
I've been really happy so far with my outcome , I have much better range of movement and a reduction of pain.
He advised me of certain physiotherapy excercise which I'm doing every day.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend anyone suffering similar condition to make an appointment .
