Corticosteroid injections are a clinically proven method for managing inflammation and reducing pain.
Take control of inflammation and reduce pain associated with various musculoskeletal conditions. The procedure involves the targeted delivery of corticosteroids, in combination with a local anaesthetic, directly into the affected area, such as joints, tendons, or bursae.
This approach aims to rapidly reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and enhance mobility by suppressing the body’s immune response in the localised area of dysfunction. The injection duration is brief and typically offers immediate to short-term relief but can last significantly longer with subsequent pain relief and enhanced quality of life.
Our team recommends corticosteroid injections for individuals with chronic conditions including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, and other inflammatory disorders. The use of such injections is also effective for acute injuries such as tendon degeneration and inflammation. Corticosteroid injections are often one component of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes exercise rehabilitation that further supports recovery and improves strength.
At G4 Physiotherapy & Fitness, the injections are administered by experienced healthcare professionals and treatment plans are tailored to an individual’s needs to maximise relief and functional recovery. Repeated injections are typically spaced several weeks apart, with a full course of treatment designed to optimise long-term outcomes.
