Steroid Joint Injections
Targeted Relief for Joint and Soft Tissue Pain
JACE Clinic offers steroid joint injections to provide effective relief from inflammation and pain associated with various musculoskeletal conditions. Our consultant-led service ensures that each treatment is tailored to individual needs, aiming to restore mobility and improve quality of life.
What Are Steroid Injections?
Steroid injections, also known as corticosteroid injections, are a minimally invasive treatment designed to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain in joints and soft tissues. By delivering medication directly to the affected area, these injections can offer both immediate and long-term relief, helping you return to your daily activities with greater comfort.
Conditions Treated
Steroid injections can be beneficial for a range of conditions, including:
Osteoarthritis
Degenerative joint disease causing pain and stiffness.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
An autoimmune condition leading to joint inflammation.
Tendonitis
Inflammation of tendons, often due to overuse.
Bursitis
Inflammation of the bursae, the small fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints.
The Treatment Process
Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough assessment by our experienced consultants to determine the suitability of steroid injections for your condition.
Imaging (if required)
Diagnostic imaging may be utilized to accurately identify the affected area, if required.
Injection Procedure
The injection is administered directly into the targeted joint or tissue, often under imaging guidance to ensure precision.
Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to support your recovery and maximize the benefits of the treatment.
Benefits of Steroid Injections
Rapid Pain Relief: Many patients experience significant pain reduction within days.
Reduced Inflammation: Targeted delivery helps decrease swelling and improve joint function.
