Steroid Injection Clinic
Many musculo-skeletal problems will heal with no intervention at all. Some may simply require short courses of anti-inflammatory tablets, physiotherapy, splints or supports.
In situations where such measures have failed or provided a sub-optimal response, the injection of Methylprednisolone Acetate can be very effective for certain complaints.
Patients must be assessed first by any of our GP’s for appropriateness of a steroid injection, before being booked into the clinic run by Dr James Simpson and Dr Sara Jones.

Shoulder:
- Frozen shoulder
