About
What are joint injections?
Our private joint injection service provides targeted, non-surgical relief for pain, inflammation, and reduced mobility. We treat the major peripheral joints with corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid, or PRP injections, selected after a careful examination and discussion of your symptoms, history, and goals.
Our specialist joint injection treatments provide targeted relief for joint pain, inflammation, and reduced mobility. We offer therapeutic injections for a wide range of joints throughout the body, helping patients regain comfort and function without surgery. Using precise injection techniques and various therapeutic agents, corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, and PRP, we can address pain and dysfunction across multiple joint locations.
The right injection depends on the joint, the underlying cause, and what you've already tried. We discuss the realistic expected outcome, short-term symptom relief, structural support, or regenerative response, before any treatment is given.

What to expect
From assessment to aftercare.

Initial Consultation & Assessment
Comprehensive examination of your affected joint(s) to assess the condition, range of motion, and pain levels. We discuss your symptoms, medical history, and determine the most appropriate injection therapy and treatment plan for your specific needs.
- Step 02
Preparation
The treatment area is thoroughly cleaned and prepared using sterile technique. Local anaesthetic may be applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure. The appropriate therapeutic agent is prepared based on your treatment plan.
- Step 03
Injection Procedure
Using precise injection techniques, the therapeutic agent is carefully administered into the affected joint. The procedure typically takes 10-20 minutes depending on the number of joints being treated. Most patients tolerate the procedure very well with minimal discomfort.

You will receive detailed aftercare instructions, including activity modifications and any necessary pain management. We recommend rest for the first 24-48 hours. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to monitor your progress and determine if additional treatments are needed.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions.
Which joints can be treated with injection therapy?
We provide injection therapy for a comprehensive range of joints including shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand joints, hip, pelvis, knee, ankle, and foot joints. During your consultation, we will assess your specific joint condition and determine if injection therapy is appropriate for your needs.
What types of injection therapy are available?
We offer several types of joint injections depending on your condition: corticosteroid injections for inflammation and pain relief, hyaluronic acid injections for joint lubrication and cushioning (particularly effective for osteoarthritis), and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections for regenerative healing. The most suitable option will be determined during your consultation.
How long does pain relief last?
The duration of pain relief varies depending on the type of injection, the joint being treated, and your individual condition. Corticosteroid injections typically provide relief for 6-12 weeks, hyaluronic acid injections may last 6-12 months, and PRP therapy can provide longer-lasting regenerative benefits. Some patients may benefit from repeated treatments for sustained relief.
What should I expect after the injection?
Most patients can resume normal activities within 24-48 hours. You may experience some temporary soreness, mild swelling, or warmth at the injection site, which typically resolves quickly. We recommend avoiding strenuous activity for the first 1-2 days. Pain relief usually begins within a few days to a week, depending on the type of injection administered.
Am I a suitable candidate for joint injections?
Joint injections are suitable for patients experiencing joint pain from conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, ligament injuries, or post-traumatic joint pain. During your consultation, we will evaluate your condition, review your medical history, and determine if injection therapy is the right treatment option for you.
Begin with an examination
A careful assessment, then a clear plan.
We discuss your symptoms, examine the affected joints, and recommend the appropriate injection, or another route entirely, only when it fits.
