Steroid Injection

Steroid injections, also referred to as corticosteroid or cortisone injections, contain a powerful anti-inflammatory substance. They are used to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation in various musculoskeletal disorders, including osteoarthritis and soft tissue injuries. These injections are synthetic forms of the body’s natural glucocorticoids, which help manage inflammation. They are highly effective in reducing pain and swelling in inflamed areas, providing significant symptom relief.

These injections are particularly beneficial for treating inflamed joints, tendon sheaths, and chronic joint pain conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. If you need pain relief, we offer a quick and affordable private service.

Your clinician will take a detailed medical history and conduct a thorough assessment to determine the diagnosis and cause of your problem. They will then discuss all available treatment options with you, including the possibility of a steroid injection.
