Joint Injections

We offer joint injections at the practice to help reduce pain and inflammation in certain joints, such as the shoulder, knee, or elbow.

These injections may be recommended where other treatments, such as pain relief or physiotherapy, have not been fully effective.

Before being offered an injection, you will need to be assessed by a GP to ensure it is appropriate for your condition. The benefits and any risks will be discussed with you so you can make an informed decision.

If an injection is recommended, you will be booked into a separate appointment at a convenient time.

Joint injections can provide relief for some patients, although the effects can vary. If your symptoms are not suitable for treatment in the practice, we will discuss alternative options, including referral to specialist services if needed.
