Struggling With Joint Pain and Waiting Lists?
If you’re in pain and tired of waiting for NHS appointments, you might be wondering how much it costs to go private for a cortisone injection.
Private treatment can provide faster relief, with expert care and appointments available within days instead of months.
Here’s what you need to know about cortisone injection pricing in Leeds and Bradford, and why Light Joints Physiotherapy is trusted by patients across West Yorkshire.
What Influences the Cost of a Cortisone Injection?
Several factors can affect the price of a private steroid injection:
Practitioner experience
Clinicians with advanced musculoskeletal training, such as physiotherapists who specialise in joint injections, often charge more but provide a higher standard of assessment and safety.
Medication type
Different corticosteroids, such as Depo-Medrone or Kenalog, vary in price depending on dosage and formulation.
Clinic location
Prices can differ between city-centre clinics, hospitals, and community-based physiotherapy settings.
Typical Private Prices in the UK
Across the UK, private cortisone injection prices range from £75 to £250 depending on the type of clinic, the joint being treated, and whether ultrasound guidance is used.
Hospitals and consultant-led clinics tend to be at the higher end of this range, while independent physiotherapy clinics are often more affordable and accessible.

Insurance Coverage
We work with most major health insurers.
If you have private health cover, ask us whether your cortisone injection is included in your policy before booking.
Our admin team can help you check eligibility and provide invoices for reimbursement where needed.
Private vs NHS Injections
NHS steroid injections are effective but waiting times can be long, and patients often have limited time with their clinician.
Private care offers:
• Faster access, often within days
• Longer appointment times
• Consistent follow-up with the same clinician
• Personalised rehabilitation plans to prevent recurrence
Choosing a private cortisone injection can help you recover sooner and maintain your active lifestyle.
Is It Worth It?
For many patients, immediate pain relief and the ability to return to work, exercise, or sleep without pain makes the investment worthwhile.
At Light Joints Physiotherapy, we see many patients who wish they had booked sooner instead of waiting months for an NHS referral.
