how we can help

What we offer

Sports Clinic offer an acute sports injury clinic that enables you to be seen promptly and receive professional advice from one of our experienced sports clinicians. We can assess and treat injuries such as sprains, dislocations, minor fractures, lacerations, concussion and back injuries within 48 hours.

Our close proximity to Pacific Radiology ensures a clearer diagnosis if required, usually on the same day. Most acute injuries are covered by ACC although a surcharge may apply. In most cases ACC will co-fund some bracing, splints, moonboots or orthotics to help protect or manage your injury.

Our clinic operates Monday – Friday 8.30am – 5.30pm and Saturday 9.00am – 12:30pm
