Overview
About this service
A single joint steroid injection delivers a corticosteroid directly into the affected joint to help reduce inflammation and ease pain, often within a matter of days. It's a straightforward, single-dose treatment typically used as a first-line option for problems such as arthritis or bursitis. As with our other joint treatments, a consultation is arranged first to check the injection is suitable for your particular joint and condition. The appointment itself is quick, usually around 20 minutes from start to finish.
