Overview

Precise Relief for Stubborn Pain

When pain from an inflamed joint, tendon sheath or nerve won't settle with first-line care, a well-placed injection can calm it down and create the window needed for rehabilitation to work. The key word is well-placed - accuracy matters.

We use ultrasound guidance to deliver injections precisely to the target structure, rather than by feel alone. Because our podiatrists are endorsed for scheduled medicines, it's all done in-house as part of your treatment plan - no separate referral or wait.

What We Can Inject For

Injection therapy is used selectively, after assessment, for conditions such as:

Plantar fasciitis & heel pain

where inflammation is limiting rehab progress

Morton's neuroma

targeted injections to settle nerve-related forefoot pain

Joint & bursal pain

arthritic and inflamed joints, and irritated bursae

Tendon & soft-tissue pain

select tendinopathies, including regenerative options where suitable

How It Works

What to expect.

01

Assessment & confirmation

We confirm the diagnosis - often with diagnostic ultrasound - so we know exactly what to target and whether injection is right.

02

The injection

Using ultrasound guidance, the injection is placed accurately into the target structure. It's quick and done in-clinic.

03

Aftercare

We give clear advice on activity in the days after, and what to expect as it settles.

04

Rehab & review

The injection buys a window - we pair it with loading, orthoses or footwear changes so the result lasts.

Common Questions

Injection Therapy FAQs

The questions patients ask us most about injection therapy.

Does the injection hurt?

There's usually a brief sting as the injection goes in. We work to keep it as comfortable as possible, and ultrasound guidance means we're accurate the first time. Any ache afterwards typically settles within a day or two.

How soon will it work?

It varies by the type of injection and condition. Corticosteroid often eases pain within days, while regenerative injections work more gradually. We'll explain the likely timeline for your specific case.

Is one injection enough?

Sometimes. For many conditions a single well-placed injection, combined with rehab, is enough to break the cycle. We use injections sparingly and won't repeat them unnecessarily.

Do I need a referral?

No. Because our podiatrists are endorsed for scheduled medicines, we assess and deliver injection therapy in-house without needing a separate referral.
