Injection Therapies

Stubborn pain in the lower limbs – whether it’s your knee, foot or ankle – can often be managed with a simple injection. When insoles, rest and physio haven’t been able to fix the pain, injection therapy could be a great step for you. We have a range of treatments to relieve pain, reduce swelling and get you moving comfortably again.

When should I consider injection therapy?
Injection therapies can help with many kinds of lower-limb pain, such as knee, ankle or heel pain and with conditions like arthritis, plantar fasciitis and Morton’s neuroma. We recommend getting in touch with our friendly staff if you’re suffering from any of the following:
• Heel, knee or ankle pain
• Arthritis
• Bursitis
• Hallux rigidus / limitus
• Sinus Tarsi syndrome
• Ligament injury

It’s best to get in touch if you have any concerns, persistent pains or inflammation to have a qualified chiropodist give you a thorough assessment and let you know the best way to stop the pain.

Steroid Injections for pain management
Medical steroid injections can be used to treat a range of musculoskeletal disorders. Corticosteroids can be injected directly into or around the painful joint, tendon or ligament to effectively reduce the pain and swelling.

Joint Aspiration
Joint aspiration involves draining the excess fluid causing the pressure and pain in swollen joints. We can also use this fluid to accurately diagnose joint disorders which could be the cause of the problem. This quick, simple treatment can be done in our clinic and drastically improve your comfort right away.

Dermal fillers for feet
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that is naturally produced by our bodies and is often a perfect solution to foot pain in areas that have reduced padding. Medical grade hyaluronic acid draws in water and creates a cushion which can reduce pressure and discomfort. Hyaluronic dermal filler injections are often a great solution for recurring corns or pain under the balls of your feet. They can last up to a year and be topped up as needed.
