FAQ’s
FAQ: Joint & Tendon Injections at light joints physiotherapy
A corticosteroid injection is a treatment that may help reduce pain and inflammation in certain joints and soft tissues. It may be considered when clinically appropriate following an assessment of your symptoms and condition.
Injections can support recovery from conditions such as:
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.

This varies from person to person and depends on the condition being treated.
