Martin Keogh
Problems with bones, joints, muscles, and related body systems can be complicated. They may be caused by injury, illness, or surgery, and they can also affect other medical conditions. This can make diagnosis and recovery more difficult.
Also, understanding how the nerves and heart-circulation systems are involved is important. Managing these factors helps ensure an accurate diagnosis and improves recovery and long-term outcomes.
With specialist training and many years of clinical experience, Martin takes a thorough approach to care. He considers all aspects of your condition when creating a personalised treatment plan, including clear timeframes, physical examination, scans or tests when needed, and referrals to other healthcare professionals if required.
