Joint pain can make everyday tasks difficult and affect sleep, movement and confidence. Our private joint injection service offers GP delivered corticosteroid injections designed to reduce inflammation and ease discomfort in common joints and soft tissues.
Whether you are struggling with frozen shoulder, hip or knee pain or tendon related symptoms, a private steroid injection can provide targeted relief. All injections are delivered in a clean, professional clinical setting with time to discuss your symptoms and treatment options.

Hip pain or restricted movement
Knee inflammation and discomfort
Tendon related issues such as tendonitis
