Injection Therapy Consultations
Injection therapy is one of the treatment options we offer for joint, tendon, and soft tissue pain. It can ease pain and inflammation, improve how a joint moves, and help you get back to normal activity sooner.
Patients often come to us for injection therapy with conditions such as arthritis, tendinitis, frozen shoulder, tennis & golfers elbow, bursitis carpal tunnel syndrome amongst others.
At your consultation we will thoroughly assess you, taking a complete history and undertaking a full physical examination. We will then discuss whether injection therapy is appropriate, taking into consideration other treatment options.
Same day consultations are usually available, and in most cases we can administer any injections within 2-3 days of your initial appointment.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in your joints, skin, and eyes. In your joints, it acts as a lubricant allowing smooth movement without friction. In arthritis, the joints can become stiff and painful so administering hyaluronic acid will help to reduce pain and improve movement, allowing you to get back to doing what you enjoy.
Most people should get at least 6 months benefit with one injection of hyaluronic acid, with some people experiencing a longer beneficial effect. Hyaluronic acids injections are very safe and have almost no negative side effects.
At Delta, we use a number of different hyaluronic acid injections, such as Ostenil, Durolane, & Sinovial, Your clinician will discuss with you which one would be most appropriate for your problem.
It should be stated that in most cases, injection therapy is most effective when used alongside an appropriate physiotherapy programme.
You do not require a prescription for this type of injection and we can offer this service usually the same day.
We do not perform spinal injections, these are normally carried out in a hospital setting.
