Cortisone Injections

Cortisone injections are a common treatment for inflammation and pain in joints and soft tissues such as the knee, hip, shoulder, and spine. They are made up of a corticosteroid, an anti-inflammatory medication that helps reduce swelling and discomfort. Using ultrasound guidance, we administer these injections directly into the affected tendon, joint or bursa to improve mobility and relieve symptoms. Moreover, we give this treatment with precision to help individuals manage joint and soft tissue conditions effectively.

Parts Treated with Cortisone Injections

Cortisone injections are highly versatile and can be used to relieve inflammation and pain in various parts of the body, including:

• Knee joints. Effective for osteoarthritis, tendonitis, and bursitis.
• Hips. Used to treat arthritis, hip bursitis, and other soft tissue inflammations.
• Shoulders. Helps manage bursitis, rotator cuff injuries, and impingement syndromes.
• Spine. Addresses discomfort and inflammation in the upper back, lower back, and neck that is caused by arthritis.
• Elbows, wrists and ankles. Beneficial for conditions like bursitis, tendonitis and arthritis in smaller joints.

Advantages of Cortisone Injections

• Reduced inflammation. Cortisone is a potent anti-inflammatory that helps minimise swelling.
