Treatments
What are MSK Injections?
Injections are a supplementary treatment option, used alongside a comprehensive rehabilitation program, and are not a standalone solution.
They work by delivering therapeutic substances directly to the source of your pain.
This creates a “window of opportunity” for physiotherapy, allowing you to engage more fully in exercises and other rehabilitation activities that may have been too painful to perform previously.
In depth look at Injection Therapy
Corticosteroid Injections: Your Anti-Inflammatory Solution
Corticosteroid injections are a powerful, targeted treatment that delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly to the source of your pain. By reducing inflammation in joints and soft tissues, these injections can provide significant, lasting relief, helping you get back to the activities you love.
Conditions we treat:
Arthritis (Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis)
Tendonitis & Bursitis
Trigger Finger
Frozen Shoulder
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Duration of Effects: You can typically expect the benefits to last for 3-6 months, creating a crucial window for you to engage in effective physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Injections: Lubricate and Cushion Your Joints
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections, also known as viscosupplementation, are particularly effective for degenerative joint conditions. This treatment works by injecting a natural substance that helps to restore the lubrication and cushioning properties of your joint fluid. Think of it as a much-needed oil change for your joints.
Knee Osteoarthritis
Shoulder Impingement
Hip Joint Degeneration
Ankle Arthritis
Duration of Benefits: The effects of a single Durolane injection can last for an impressive 6-12 months, offering prolonged relief and improved joint function.
