Ultrasound Imaging & Steroid Injections
At Total Health Clinics, we provide ultrasound-guided steroid injections to help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility. Our experienced clinicians use a precise and personalised approach, ensuring each injection targets the exact source of discomfort. Whether you are dealing with chronic joint pain, bursitis, tendonitis, or persistent inflammation, our treatments are designed to provide effective relief and support a quicker return to normal activity.
Unlike traditional “blind” injections that rely on surface landmarks and clinician feel, ultrasound guidance allows our specialists to see inside the joint in real time. This improves the accuracy and safety of the procedure by helping clinicians avoid nearby nerves and blood vessels, often leading to more reliable pain relief and better recovery outcomes.
We offer two types of injections. They are corticosteroid injections and hyaluronic acid injections.
- Corticosteroid Injections: Powerful anti-inflammatories for fast-acting pain relief.
- Hyaluronic Acid (Ostenil Plus): Acts as a lubricant for joints, specifically designed to improve movement in arthritic conditions.
The results do vary by individual, but typically steroid injections provide 3-6 months of relief. Whilst Hyaluronic acid can provide relief between 6-12 months.
We offer a transparent, all-inclusive price of £257. This covers your consultation, diagnostic ultrasound scan, and the guided injection itself. Saving you the cost of multiple separate appointments.
Steroid Injections
What to Expect: Your ‘One-Stop’ Appointment
We value your time. Our injection service is designed as a seamless, single-visit experience. Here is the process:
-
Clinical Assessment: A thorough physical examination by our specialist to confirm the diagnosis.
-
Diagnostic Ultrasound: We use the scanner to visualize the internal structures and confirm the exact site of pathology.
-
The Procedure: The skin is cleaned, and a local anaesthetic may be used. Under real-time ultrasound guidance, the needle is guided precisely to the target area to deliver the medication.
-
Aftercare & Reporting: You will receive immediate aftercare advice. We also provide a formal letter for both you and your GP to ensure continuity of care.

The procedure is generally very well tolerated. Because we use ultrasound guidance, we minimize tissue disruption. You may feel a brief sting from the local anaesthetic, similar to a small pinprick.
Yes. For safety and specialist care, we do not perform injections around the lumbar spine (lower back) or neck. These require different imaging techniques (like X-ray/Fluoroscopy) and are best managed by spinal consultants.
We offer a transparent, all-inclusive price of £257. This covers your consultation, diagnostic ultrasound scan, and the guided injection itself—saving you the cost of multiple separate appointments.
