Understanding Joint Pain
Joint pain can result from arthritis, injury, inflammation, overuse, or degenerative changes. It commonly affects areas such as the shoulder, knee, hip, spine, and smaller joints, often leading to stiffness, reduced mobility, and difficulty performing daily activities.
Consultant-Led Assessment
Before recommending joint injections, every patient undergoes a detailed consultant-led assessment. This includes clinical examination, review of imaging where appropriate, and careful evaluation of symptoms to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment selection.
Targeted Injection Treatments
Joint injections may include corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, Platelet-Rich Plasma to support healing, or other therapeutic agents depending on the condition being treated. Treatments are tailored to the individual and selected based on evidence, safety, and clinical benefit.
Precision and Imaging Guidance
All joint injections are performed using ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance to ensure accurate placement of medication within the joint. This improves effectiveness, reduces risk, and enhances patient comfort during the procedure.
Improving Mobility and Quality of Life
The goal of joint injections is not only pain relief but also improved movement and function. By reducing inflammation and discomfort, these treatments can help patients return to daily activities, rehabilitation, and exercise with greater confidence and less pain.
