What Are Cortisone Steroid Injections?
Cortisone injections involve administering corticosteroids, synthetic medications that mimic the anti-inflammatory properties of natural hormones produced by the body. These injections are commonly used to treat conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, and other inflammatory musculoskeletal disorders. By reducing inflammation, cortisone injections help relieve pain and improve joint function.

Treatment Process
Initial Assessment: If you haven’t been referred by a medical professional, an initial assessment with our sports doctors or physiotherapists is required to determine the appropriateness of the procedure.
Injection Procedure: We commonly use Depo-Medrone combined with a local anaesthetic. The injection is administered landmark guided or under ultrasound guidance to the targeted area.
Post-Injection Care: Pain relief typically begins within a few days, with full effects developing over 2–3 weeks and lasting for several months. This period provides an excellent opportunity to focus on rehabilitation exercises to address the underlying condition.
