How Our Process Works
Assess
We’ll discuss your symptoms, medical history and goals before completing a detailed musculoskeletal assessment.
Diagnosis
We’ll explain your diagnosis. Diagnostic ultrasound may be used where clinically appropriate to support treatment decisions.
Injection
If an injection is clinically appropriate and you choose to proceed, it can usually be performed during the same appointment.
Treat
If an injection is clinically appropriate and you choose to proceed, it can usually be performed during the same appointment.
Why we assess before every injection
While corticosteroid injections can be highly effective, they aren’t the right treatment for everyone. Some patients recover better with physiotherapy, rehabilitation or another treatment approach.
What Are Corticosteroid Injections?
Corticosteroid injections help reduce pain and inflammation in certain joint and tendon conditions.
They may improve movement, reduce pain and make rehabilitation more comfortable. The best results are usually achieved when combined with physiotherapy and a personalised rehabilitation programme.
Who May Benefit?
Injection treatment may be appropriate if you:
✓ Have persistent joint or tendon pain
✓ Haven’t improved with physiotherapy
✓ Need pain relief to progress rehabilitation
✓ Have pain affecting work, sport or everyday activities
✓ Have been advised that an injection may help by your GP
Every patient is individually assessed before treatment is recommended.
Are Corticosteriod Injections Safe?
Corticosteroid injections are widely used and are generally considered safe when performed by appropriately trained healthcare professionals.
As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks, including temporary discomfort, bruising, bleeding, infection or a short-term increase in pain after treatment.
Your clinician will explain the expected benefits, possible risks and alternative treatment options before any injection is provided.

FAQ’s
FAQ: Joint & Tendon Injections (CQC Pending)
We provide corticosteroid injections for joints, tendons, and soft tissues. These are used to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and support your physiotherapy rehab plan. Injections are tailored to your specific condition and delivered by an Independent Prescriber.
Injections can support recovery from conditions such as:
Knee: Osteoarthritis, meniscal flare-ups, patellar bursitis
Shoulder: Sub-acromial bursitis, rotator cuff impingement
Hip: Trochanteric bursitis
Foot & Ankle: Post-sprain impingement, plantar fasciitis
Elbow: Tennis or Golfer’s elbow
Wrist & Hand: Carpal tunnel syndrome, De Quervain’s tenosynovitis
Injections are always part of a structured physiotherapy plan and are delivered where clinically appropriate.
The effect of corticosteroid injections can vary depending on the condition. Many patients experience relief within 48–72 hours, and benefits can last several weeks to a few months. Your physiotherapist will provide a tailored rehab plan to maximise long-term outcomes.
No GP referral is required. Our Independent Prescribers can assess your condition and determine whether injections are suitable, as part of your structured physiotherapy plan.
