Sports Medicine Clinic

Specialist assessment and ultrasound-guided injections for persistent joint and tendon problems. Premier League experience. Available across Meath and Kildare.

Specialist sports medicine, now available at Compass Physio

We have launched a dedicated Sports Medicine and Injection Clinic at Compass Physio. This service is designed for people dealing with persistent joint pain, stubborn tendon problems, and injuries that have not responded to standard physiotherapy.

Our clinic is run by Dr. Haytham Salem, a specialist sports medicine physician who has worked as team doctor at Everton FC and Burnley FC in the English Premier League. He now brings that same level of expertise directly to our clinics in Meath and Kildare.

This is not a standalone injection service. Dr. Salem works directly alongside our chartered physiotherapy team, so your recovery is joined up from assessment right through to rehabilitation and return to activity.

Available without a waiting list.

No GP referral required

Self-refer directly. No waiting on a letter or an extra appointment. Just call or book online.

Premier League track record

Dr. Salem has worked at the highest level of professional sport. That expertise is now available in Enfield, Kilcock, and Trim.

Ultrasound-guided as standard

Every injection is carried out under real-time ultrasound. More accurate and safer than blind injection techniques.

Integrated with your physio team

Dr. Salem and your Compass Physio physiotherapist work together. The injection is one part of your recovery. Rehabilitation is the other.

What the clinic offers

Sports Medicine Assessment

A full specialist assessment of your injury by Dr. Salem. This covers your full history, a detailed physical examination, and a review of any relevant imaging. You will leave with a clear diagnosis, a plain-language explanation of what is going on, and an agreed plan for what happens next. No GP referral required to access this.

Corticosteroid Injection

A targeted anti-inflammatory injection used where significant pain and swelling are present. Suitable for joint inflammation, bursitis, and acute flare-ups that need fast, effective relief before rehabilitation can begin properly. Administered under ultrasound guidance for precision.

PRP Injection (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

A concentration of your own platelets is prepared and injected into the injured area to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. PRP is particularly effective for chronic tendon pain, joint problems, and soft tissue injuries that have not responded to other treatment. Administered under ultrasound guidance.

Hyaluronic Acid Injection

A joint lubrication injection for patients with osteoarthritis of the knee or hip. Helps reduce friction, improve joint comfort, and restore function in joints that have lost their natural cushioning. A good option where inflammation is lower but joint wear is the primary issu

Return-to-Sport Clearance

Medical sign-off for players and athletes returning from injury. Dr. Salem provides a formal assessment and clearance report suitable for GAA clubs, soccer teams, and endurance sport. Covers functional fitness, injury risk, and readiness to return to full training and competition.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Patrick did a super job diagnosing my injury correctly. Not only did his work help cure it but he set me on a pathway for general strengthening exercises. He showed me some useful and doable exercises and I'm feeling so much better than I did a few months ago. Often it takes just the right person with the right attitude to help you get started. Many thanks.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hi Patrick, I had reason to visit Compass Physio a few months ago. My right knee and left foot needed attention. Sarah Jane diagnosed the injuries and gave me rehab exercises. I attended four times at two week intervals. The injuries were assessed, progress noted and exercises were upgraded on each visit. Then Sarah Jane was happy I could progress without any further visits. She gave me a number of exercises to continue doing. I was very satisfied with the professional service. Sarah Jane was excellent at diagnosing the weaknesses and prescribing the most suitable rehab exercises. I’m grateful for the ongoing exercises and limbs are improving. I recommend Compass Physio most highly. Kind regards, Eamonn
