Steroid injections are used to reduce inflammation and pain in specific areas of the foot or lower
limb. They can be helpful when inflammation is contributing to ongoing symptoms.
At Absolute Footcare, steroid injections are only recommended following assessment.
A corticosteroid medication is injected into the affected area to reduce inflammation.
The procedure is carried out in clinic and takes only a few minutes. Local anaesthetic is often
used to improve comfort
You may be advised to reduce activity for a short period following the injection.
Pain relief may develop over several days. The response varies between individuals.
Steroid injections are typically used as part of a broader treatment plan rather than a standalone
solution.
Steroid injections are recommended following assessment to ensure they are appropriate for
your condition.
If you are experiencing ongoing foot or lower limb pain, the best first step is to book a gait and
biomechanical assessment.
