1. Consultation: We begin with a full medical assessment, reviewing your symptoms, history, and suitability for treatment. We determine the most appropriate injection type, often corticosteroid-based, to help ease symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and swelling.
2. Procedure: The injection is performed quickly and precisely by an experienced doctor, usually under local anaesthetic to minimise discomfort. The skin at the injection site is carefully prepared and cleaned with antiseptic to ensure safety.

Joint injections, such as steroid injections and corticosteroid injections, are widely used to relieve joint pain and reduce inflammation in the affected joint. The main benefits of joint injections include:
Pain Relief: Rapidly reduces pain and discomfort in the joint.
Reduced Swelling: Corticosteroid injections help decrease inflammation and swelling.
Improved Mobility: Many patients experience increased movement and flexibility.
Long Lasting Pain Relief: Relief can last for several weeks, depending on the condition and treatment.
Joint injections are safe and well-tolerated when performed by an experienced doctor. Side effects are uncommon, usually mild, and explained fully during your consultation.
Proper aftercare is essential for optimal recovery following joint injections. Patients are advised to:
Rest the Affected Joint: Limit movement and avoid strenuous activities for a few hours after the procedure.
