List of doctors and clinics performing NA (PNF) in the UK
Our below list is sorted by city name. Unfortunately it is still short and it might make sense to start searching yourself. If so, please note that NA (= needle aponeurotomy) is not often called that in the UK. It usually goes under the other names of 'needle fasciotomy', 'percutaneous release', 'percutaneous fasciotomy', or 'percutaneous needle fasciotomy' (also abbreviated as PNF). Feedback from patients to extend this list of UK clinics is highly appreciated! We have been notified that actually many hand surgeons in the UK might have experience with PNF and offer it to suitable patients. You might inquire with The British Society for Surgery of the Hand about surgeons in your vicinity and maybe find out whether they are familiar with PNF.

(only NA on palms?)
A list of doctors who received training in France by the inventors of NA, i.e. by the French "Association pour l'etude et le traitement non-chirurgical de la maladie de Dupuytren", is provided on list_NA. This list naturally includes many doctors in France but some also from a variety of other European and non-European countries.
