At Oryon we provide affordable diagnostic imaging with ultrasounds starting from just £265. Find out about the benefits of having a private ultrasound with us.   What is an Ultrasound?

Ultrasound, unlike other imaging procedures, does not use radiation. As a result, it’s the most common way to see a developing foetus during pregnancy and is used for many other medical diagnostics.

A scoliosis brace is worn around the upper part of the body to prevent an abnormal spinal curve from worsening. It’s used in adolescents whilst their bones are still growing.  Dr Darren Liu, a world-renowned spinal surgeon, explains the importance of bracing to the parents of his young patients in simple terms: “if you have a tree that is crooked and put a stick in the ground, as the tree grows, the stick will help the tree grow straight.” This philosophy is transferred to children with scoliosis. In other words, children can be braced into a straight position so, as they grow, they maint ..read more

There are three types of childhood idiopathic scoliosis: – Birth to 3 years – infantile idiopathic scoliosis 4 years to 9 years old – juvenile idiopathic scoliosis 1 ..read more

Parkinson’s is estimated to affect around 1 in 500 people in their lifetimes, making it one of the most prevalent neurological conditions. Despite its ubiquity and decades of scientific research, we do not have a full explanation of the origins of Parkinson’s. Ahead of his talk on movement disorders, we caught up with Dr Tabish Saifee, Consultant Neurologist, to discuss how he diagnoses and treats patients with suspected Parkinson’s symptoms, including how he works collaboratively with Allied Health Professionals and other therapists. “We know that therapy input… is very routinely needed in th ..read more

As you might expect, this would put pressure on the muscles of your back. However, many women do unfortunately experience back pain in early pregnancy as w ..read more
