Ultrasound guided corticosteroid injections
Why corticosteroid injections?
Ultrasound guided Corticosteroids injections are strong anti-inflammatory medications that can bring quick relief to symptoms in the joints or tendons.
Some injuries or chronic joint problems such as osteoarthritis are hugely painful and it can be difficult to endure the physiotherapy regimes required to fully recover. Ultrasound guided Corticosteroid injections can help you manage this pain and inflammation, allowing you to fully commit to a controlled rehabilitation programme.

Ultrasound guidance
Why use Ultrasound guidance to give injections?
Using ultrasound imaging allows visualisation of injections to deliver the medication precisely on target, where it can be most effective. Traditional methods of injecting without imaging can deliver treatments to the wrong side of internal tissue boundaries, losing much or all of the effect of the injection.
