From injury to recovery. The right care at every step.

A fresh fracture or serious injury may need surgery straight away, while many long-standing problems get better with physiotherapy. Because our orthopaedic surgeon and physiotherapists work in the same clinic, the advice you get is about what will actually help, not about which department you walked into.

One assessment, one plan
A single specialist assessment decides your treatment, rather than a chain of referrals.
Honest about surgery
When surgery is right, we say so and explain why. When it isn't, we say that too.
Joined-up care
Consultation, physiotherapy and surgery share the same notes and the same team.
Clear explanations
You see your scans, understand your diagnosis and know what to expect.

Common questions

Do I need a referral to see a specialist at Livewell?

No. You can book directly on WhatsApp or Calendly. If another doctor has referred you, bring their letter along.

Will I need surgery?

It depends on the problem. Fractures and other recent injuries often need prompt surgical treatment, while many long-standing bone, joint and back problems get better without an operation. We start with a specialist assessment and recommend surgery when it is clearly the best option for you.

Can I be seen online if I don't live in Uyo?

Yes. We offer online video consultations for patients who cannot easily travel to Uyo, for first opinions and follow-ups. If you need an examination or treatment in person, we will tell you.

Can I get a second opinion on surgery I've been offered elsewhere?

Yes. Bring your scans, the images themselves where possible, and any reports. We will review your case and explain your options honestly.

Do you offer home visits?

Yes, for patients who find it difficult to travel. Mention it in your WhatsApp message and we will arrange the details with you.
