Ultrasound-Guided Injections
Targeted pain relief without surgery
Ultrasound-guided steroid injections can provide effective relief from pain and inflammation caused by conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy and arthritis. Ultrasound guidance ensures precise placement for the best possible results. For patients who are not suitable for steroid injections, we also offer hyaluronic acid injections as an effective alternative.
CORTICOSTEROID INJECTIONS
What is a Corticosteroid Injection?

A corticosteroid injection is a targeted anti-inflammatory treatment designed to relieve pain and swelling in joints and soft tissues. This minimally invasive treatment can help reduce inflammation, improve mobility and restore function.

When the joints or soft tissues of the foot and ankle become inflamed due to injury or wear and tear, corticosteroid injections can help relieve pain and support recovery.

THE PROCEDURE
Our steroid injection procedure includes:
Local Anaesthetic
for Comfort
We use a local anaesthetic to minimise your discomfort.
Ultrasound
Guidance
To ensure precision and maximum effectiveness, we utilise ultrasound guidance to carefully guide the injection into the area of concern.
Post-Treatment
Care Instructions
After the injection, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to optimise your recovery.
Custom
Treatment Plans
The injection and other treatments required depend on your specific needs and the severity of your condition.
HOW IT CAN HELP YOU
Conditions treated by Corticosteroid Injections

Corticosteroid injections are an effective treatment option for a range of painful inflammatory and degenerative foot and ankle conditions, including:

• Arthritic joints

• Plantar fasciitis

• Morton’s neuroma

• Achilles tendinopathy

• Sinus tarsi syndrome and Tarsal tunnel syndrome

When the joints or soft tissues of the foot and ankle become inflamed due to injury or wear and tear, corticosteroid injections can help relieve pain, reduce inflammation and support recovery.

 

 

If you’re unsure whether your condition is suitable for this treatment, contact our clinic to book an assessment. Our podiatrists will explain your options.

For patients who would prefer an alternative, or are unable to have a corticosteroid injection, we may offer hyaluronic acid injections which can be very beneficial.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT TREATMENT FOR YOU
