Ultrasound Guided Injection Therapy

Ultrasound-guided injection therapy is a highly specialised, unique service that provides a one-stop solution for the diagnosis (using ultrasound) and treatment (via an injection) of various chronic pain conditions. A medical referral is unnecessary to provide fast access to these pain-relieving injections.

Our clinicians are highly experienced and have extensive experience in the NHS and private Practice. In one appointment, your clinician will perform a full assessment, including a diagnostic ultrasound scan, before performing an ultrasound-guided injection if needed. If requested, a full report can be provided to your GP.

All our injection therapy appointments include:

  • iconUltrasound scan and musculoskeletal assessment to get a precise diagnosis.
  • iconUltrasound Guided Injection if recommended by the clinician.
  • iconReport of assessment, scan findings and details of injection.

All injections are performed by highly experienced advanced physiotherapists who are dual-trained as physiotherapists and musculoskeletal sonographers.

Injection Therapies We Provide

We offer a range of musculoskeletal injection treatments designed to reduce pain, ease inflammation, and improve joint and soft tissue function. After a detailed clinical assessment, your practitioner will recommend the most appropriate option for your condition and recovery goals.

Corticosteroid Injections

Corticosteroid injections are used to decrease inflammation in joints and surrounding soft tissues, helping to relieve pain, reduce swelling, and restore movement. They can also make rehabilitation exercises more effective by improving comfort.

Genicular Nerve Block Injection

This procedure targets the sensory nerves around the knee to help manage persistent knee pain, particularly symptoms associated with osteoarthritis. Many patients experience improved mobility and day-to-day function following treatment.

Suprascapular Nerve Block

A suprascapular nerve block is used to relieve shoulder pain by interrupting pain signals from the nerves supplying the shoulder joint. It can assist patients who struggle with movement due to ongoing pain or nerve irritation.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection

PRP treatment uses platelets taken from your own blood to encourage the body's natural tissue repair process. It is commonly recommended for tendon injuries and soft tissue problems and should not be confused with steroid injections.

Arthrosamid® Treatment

Arthrosamid® is an injectable hydrogel treatment developed for people with knee osteoarthritis. It aims to provide long-term pain relief and improved joint mobility and is administered by a qualified clinician trained in the procedure.

Shoulder Hydrodistension

Hydrodistension is frequently used to treat frozen shoulder, helping to stretch the joint capsule, reduce stiffness, and increase shoulder movement. It is often combined with physiotherapy to achieve the best outcomes.

High-Volume Tendon Injection

This treatment is commonly used for persistent Achilles tendon and patellar tendon conditions when symptoms have not improved with rehabilitation alone. The procedure is designed to reduce pain and support tendon recovery.

Carpal Tunnel Hydrodistension

Carpal tunnel hydrodistension is a minimally invasive injection technique that reduces pressure around the median nerve, helping to relieve symptoms such as numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness affecting the hand and wrist.

Important Information

For your safety, injection therapy may be postponed if you have an active infection or are feeling generally unwell. We do not provide spinal injections, as these are specialist procedures carried out in dedicated medical settings.

Before treatment, your clinician will discuss the procedure, explain the expected benefits and possible side effects, answer any questions you may have, and provide guidance on post-injection care and recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ultrasound-guided injection therapy uses real-time imaging to accurately guide medication into a specific joint, tendon or soft tissue to reduce pain and inflammation.

Ultrasound allows precise placement of the injection, improving effectiveness and safety, and reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues compared to blind injections.

It can be used for conditions such as tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, joint pain, plantar fasciitis, and persistent musculoskeletal pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments.

Some patients notice relief within a few days, but it may take 1–2 weeks for full benefits, depending on the condition treated and individual response.

Yes, most people resume light activities the same day. You may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours after the injection.
