About Joint Injections

There are a wide range of concerns that can affect the joints  that would beenefit from joint injections at our Leicester clinic.  Many patients have pain in their hands, wrists, shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, feet and ankles.

An inflammation in the joint is the most likely reason for causing pain and stiffness, that may also lead to functional difficulties.

At The One Clinic we may recommend the use of a joint injection if your concern does not respond to other treatment methods, such as oral medication, topical medication or physical therapy.

PRP or Steroid Injections

We use corticosteroid (steroid) or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections.

Steroid Injections

Cortisone injections are administered directly into the affected joint or tendon and can provide temporary relief for moderate levels of pain and inflammation. This injection contains an anti-inflammatory solution that provides instant relief.

PRP injections

PRP injections can provide a longer term option for pain relief they help to heal the damaged tissues. This form of regenerative therapy uses the platelets taken from the patient’s own blood to be administered directly into the affected joint.

Following an in-depth consultation, your doctor will decide which form of treatment is most suitable, with typical conditions treated including: arthritis, carpal tunnel, sports injuries, tennis elbow, frozen shoulder and Morton’s Neuroma to name a few.

Either of these joint injections can be given as part of an on-going treatment plan, and may also enhance the results of other treatment methods. The results of this therapy can greatly improve a patient’s well-being and overall quality of life.
