Persistent joint pain, localised bursitis, osteoarthritis, or severe tendon inflammation can severely limit your everyday movement and sleep quality. When oral anti-inflammatories or targeted physiotherapy do not provide adequate relief, our trained clinicians can perform localised therapeutic steroid and anaesthetic injections directly into the affected tissue to rapidly reduce swelling and deliver sustained pain management.

Conditions We Routinely Treat On-Site:

  • Osteoarthritis Flare-ups: Targeted knee, shoulder, or small joint tracking management to reduce friction and pain.
  • Bursitis: Alleviating painful swelling in the shoulder (subacromial) or hip (trochanteric) bursae.
  • Trigger Finger: Localised injections to ease tendon sheath catching and restore smooth finger extension.
  • Keloid Scars: Targeted therapeutic steroid injections to manage, flatten, and soothe dense scar tissue formations.

How the Treatment Works:

The clinician meticulously cleans the site and uses a fine needle to administer a precise combination of a fast-acting local anaesthetic (for immediate comfort) and a long-acting corticosteroid. The steroid works locally over the following days to significantly dampen inflammatory path markers, often providing relief lasting from several weeks to months.

FAQs

Our trained clinicians perform localised steroid and anaesthetic injections to manage pain and inflammation for specific conditions, including trigger finger, painful joint issues, keloid scar management, and targeted soft tissue conditions.

The local anaesthetic provides initial numbness for a few hours. The corticosteroid component typically takes 2 to 7 days to fully down-regulate inflammation. The duration of pain relief varies by individual and condition, but it commonly lasts between 3 to 6 months, giving you a valuable window to engage comfortably in rehabilitation or daily activities.

We strongly advise resting the treated joint or limb from heavy lifting, strenuous fitness routines, or repetitive movements for at least 48 hours following the injection. This local rest period ensures the steroid stays concentrated in the target tissue to maximise its therapeutic effect.
