About Injury Hub

The injury Hub is a sister clinic to the successful Spine Plus Bow clinic. Darren Chandler co-founding director of Spine Plus has dedicated the last 20 years to becoming a leading practitioner in spine care. Wanting to dedicate more of his expertise to treating injury-based pathology he has created the Injury Hub. Having trained as an osteopath, musculoskeletal sonographer and has now gained a diploma in musculoskeletal injections Darren has seen a need with the current NHS waiting lists to help and offer affordable treatments such as knee, shoulder, foot and hand injections to those on long waiting lists on the NHS. The clinic also offers the latest research-based therapies such as shockwave therapy and diathermy for ligament and tendon injuries.

Our continuous training in the most up to date procedures allows us to diagnose and treat complex cases found in elite athletes, professional dancers, runners, cross fitters along with injuries that occur due to everyday wear and tear on the body, or falls and breakages.

Patients have found the London based clinic is essential for their primary care, as well as those seeking second opinion services, which are complemented by our wide network of London’s most eminent interventional radiologists and surgical specialists.

Our immediate scanning service allows us to diagnose and treat accordingly, which has been a great add on to the successful spinal clinic we have run in Bow E3 for so many years.

Our staff are trained in the latest hands on techniques along with a foundation in rehabilitation exercises and electrotherapy. We are dedicated to improving the wellbeing of our patients and treat patients from our local area to people who regularly travel from outer London to attend the clinic.
