How Our Process Works
Assess
We’ll discuss your symptoms, medical history and goals before completing a detailed musculoskeletal assessment.
Explain
We’ll explain our findings and discuss whether a steroid injection is appropriate.
Injection
If a steroid injection is clinically appropriate and you choose to proceed, it can be performed during the same appointment.
Rehab
We’ll provide aftercare and advice to help you make the most of any reduction in pain and progress with your recovery.
Corticosteroid Injections
The right treatment starts with the right assessment.
Corticosteroid injections can reduce pain and inflammation in some joint and tendon conditions, but they’re not right for everyone.
✓ Persistent joint or tendon pain
✓ Symptoms affecting daily life, work or sport
✓ Limited progress with physiotherapy
✓ Pain preventing rehabilitation
We do not inject the neck, lower back or spine.
Your safety comes first
We use careful assessment, appropriate technique and clear aftercare to minimise risks.
Possible side effects are usually temporary and may include soreness, bruising or a short-term increase in pain. We’ll explain the benefits, risks and alternatives before treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Joint & Tendon Injections in Rothwell
No. You can book directly with our Rothwell clinic. A clinical assessment is completed before any injection to determine whether treatment is appropriate.
A corticosteroid injection appointment is £195, including the £95 clinical assessment fee.

We do not inject the neck, lower back or spine.
Your physiotherapist or independent prescriber will assess your symptoms, discuss your medical history and explain your options.
If an injection is clinically appropriate, it can usually be performed during the same appointment.
Not necessarily. Ultrasound may be used where clinically appropriate to provide additional information and support treatment decisions.
Some people notice improvement within a few days, while the response varies depending on the condition and individual circumstances. Pain relief can last from several weeks to a few months.
You will be given advice about modifying activity after your injection and gradually returning to exercise. The appropriate timeframe depends on the area treated and your condition.
Corticosteroid injections are commonly used, but they are not suitable for everyone. Possible risks include temporary discomfort, bruising, bleeding, infection or a short-term increase in pain.
Your clinician will discuss the potential benefits, risks and alternatives before treatment.
That's okay. The assessment will help determine the most appropriate treatment. If an injection isn't recommended, your clinician can discuss alternatives such as physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
Possibly, but repeat injections should be considered individually. Your symptoms should be reassessed so the benefits, risks and alternatives can be considered before further treatment.
