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.

Steroid injection may be offered for the following problems:

Shoulder:

-          Frozen shoulder

-          ACJ osteoarthritis

-          Impingement/tendonitis

Elbow:

-           Tendinopathy/tendonitis – Tennis/Golfer’s

Hand/wrist:

-          1st CMC (base of thumb) joint osteoarthritis

-          Trigger Finger

-          De Quervain’s tenosynovitis

Hip:

-          Trochanteric bursitis

Knee:

-          Capsulitis/OA

Foot:

-          Plantar fasciitis
