FAQs

Why use Steroid Injections?

Experts can administer unguided Corticosteroid injections to relieve the pain you experience in joints across your body. The fast-acting steroids alleviate pain within hours and allow relief for up to a week and our long-acting steroids can relieve pain for many months. 

Our experts can help you with pain in the following joints:

• Elbow
• Hip
• Knee
• Shoulder

Does my age matter?

Adults of any age can benefit from receiving steroid joint injections, the effective targeting of pain leads to greater freedom of movement in the joint, and can also help with physiotherapy. 

Common problems which can be improved with injections are plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel and tennis elbow, as well as many others such as arthritis.

What is involved?

Following your initial consultation in which our expert will examine the affected area, steroid injections will be administered in the desired joint.

During this procedure, a local anaesthetic will be used. You will leave on the same day and begin to feel a reduction of pain within hours depending on the steroid used.
