Overview

Treatment Overview

Steroid joint injections are a well-established treatment for reducing inflammation and providing pain relief in joints and soft tissues. They are typically used when conservative treatments such as rest, physiotherapy or oral medication have not provided sufficient relief.

The procedure is quick, minimally invasive and performed on a day case basis. Most patients experience significant improvement within a few days of treatment.
