Your specialist will confirm the best treatment after reviewing your symptoms, diagnosis and ultrasound findings.
Doppler vascularity on ultrasound is particularly important when choosing between PRP and corticosteroid for tendon problems. High tendon vascularity often supports a regenerative approach, while acute bursal or joint inflammation may respond better to corticosteroid.
Frozen shoulder or acute bursitis
→ Corticosteroid, sometimes with hydrodistension for frozen shoulder.
Tennis or golfer’s elbow for >3 months
→ PRP may be preferred for chronic tendinopathy, depending on scan findings.
Knee, hip or shoulder osteoarthritis
→ Hyaluronic acid can help with joint lubrication and movement-related pain.
Trigger finger or De Quervain’s
→ Ultrasound-guided corticosteroid is commonly used first-line.
Achilles or plantar fascia tendinopathy
→ PRP is often considered; corticosteroid is used with caution in weight-bearing tendons.
Tense joint swelling or ganglion
→ Ultrasound-guided aspiration can provide diagnostic information and symptom relief.
Our injection clinic supports a wide range of joint, tendon, bursal and sports-related pain conditions.
Ultrasound guidance allows the clinician to see the needle, medication and target structure in real time.
The medication is placed exactly into the joint, bursa, tendon sheath or soft tissue target rather than estimated by surface landmarks.
Image guidance is particularly important for deep structures such as the hip, small targets such as trigger finger pulleys, and complex anatomy.
Doppler imaging helps identify vessels and real-time visualisation helps avoid inadvertent injection into sensitive structures.
The scan findings help guide whether PRP, corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid or aspiration is most appropriate.
The clinician can watch the injection flow into the correct compartment before withdrawing the needle.
Diagnostic ultrasound and guided treatment can often be arranged within the same pathway.
A straightforward appointment from diagnosis confirmation to post-injection care advice.
Your specialist reviews your symptoms and confirms the target with ultrasound.
The treatment, expected benefits and possible side effects are explained before consent.
The skin is cleaned and the injection area is prepared using sterile technique.
The needle is advanced under continuous ultrasound visualisation to the exact target.
You receive clear written and verbal guidance on activity, pain relief and follow-up.
Everything you need to know before booking the Joint Pain Clinic.
It depends on the diagnosis and ultrasound findings. Corticosteroid is commonly used for acute inflammation and bursitis, hyaluronic acid for osteoarthritis, PRP for chronic tendinopathy, and aspiration for fluid collections or joint effusion.
The exact price depends on the joint, medication and whether multiple areas are treated.
Ultrasound guidance improves accuracy by allowing the clinician to see the needle and target tissue in real time. This is especially useful for deep joints, small tendon sheaths and areas close to nerves or blood vessels.
No. You can self-refer directly. If you do not already have a clear diagnosis, a diagnostic MSK ultrasound or combined assessment may be recommended before treatment.
Corticosteroid often helps within days to 1–2 weeks. Hyaluronic acid and PRP usually work more gradually over several weeks. Aspiration can relieve pressure immediately when fluid is removed.
