Steroid Injections

Steroid Injections

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.

Conditions We Treat

Our ultrasound-guided injections are an effective solution for a wide range of persistent musculoskeletal conditions:

Peterborough Steroid Injections

Shoulder

Frozen shoulder, subacromial bursitis, impingement syndrome, and rotator cuff injuries.

Hip_Steroid Injections

Hip

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (hip bursitis) and sacroiliac joint pain.

Elbow_Steroid Injections

Elbow

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golfer’s elbow.

Knee_Steroid Injections

Knee

Osteoarthritis, Baker’s cysts, and bursitis.

Foot_Steroid Injections

Foot & Ankle

Plantar fasciitis, heel pain, and Morton’s neuroma.

Wrist_Steroid Injections

Hand & Wrist

Carpal tunnel syndrome, De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, and trigger finger.

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.

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:

  1. Clinical Assessment: A thorough physical examination by our specialist to confirm the diagnosis.

  2. Diagnostic Ultrasound: We use the scanner to visualize the internal structures and confirm the exact site of pathology.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

Lewis has been helping me with a shoulder problem and movement is improving. He is very knowledgeable, pleasant and as keen as myself to see the end of my pain. Highly recommended. July 2026 Still occasionally dropping in to see the good folk at Total Health. Lewis has been a brilliant help with my lower back problem and I now only visit for a tuneup, usually before an intense golf weekend. A really friendly and helpful practice, that has helped me over the last few years.

I have been treated by John for bursitis in my shoulder. On my first visit he did a through consultation and decided a steroid injection was required. John has a calm and friendly manner and was very gentle and reassuring administering the injection. I have since been twice for a follow up and manipulation of the shoulder. John has a knack of using distraction techniques to enable me to relax. I have seen a significant improvement in both mobility and pain assisted by the exercises recommended to do between visits. I would highly recommend John and indeed the staff on reception who are very friendly and welcoming.

When I first went to see Ben I could hardly stand up straight, he gave me confidence that he could sort me out and for the past 16 years the problem hasn't returned. I visit every 6/8 weeks for massage and manipulation. It really is a first class practice and for anyone with a back problem it's the place to go

Saw John at the Stamford clinic and he was fantastic. Quickly diagnosed the problem I was having with my back and started treatment straightaway. I’m hopeful that this will help me get on top of this recurring issue.

First visit with Olivia this morning . Olivia listened to everything , gave a diagnosis and a resolution . Cannot fault her at all, lovely person. I've taken advantage of the 6 for 5 sessions as I am confident she will help me get "back to normal". I left there with my back feeling so much more comfortable than when I went in which I really appreciate after 7 months of discomfort. Thank you

I’ve been seeing osteopaths for many years, and I can honestly say that Lewis King is the best I’ve ever been treated by. He is highly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. What sets him apart is the time he takes to listen and fully understand every issue before beginning any treatment. His approach is thorough, reassuring, and tailored to the individual, and I always leave feeling I’ve received the very best care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lewis to anyone looking for an exceptional osteopath. Five stars!

No. At Total Health Clinics, you can book directly with us. There is no referral required, providing you with faster access to pain relief and helping you avoid lengthy NHS waiting lists.

  • 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.
  • Steroid Injections: Most patients notice a significant reduction in pain within 48–72 hours.
  • Hyaluronic Acid: Improvements in joint lubrication usually develop over 1–2 weeks.

Results vary by individual, but steroid injections typically provide 3–6 months of relief, while Hyaluronic acid can last between 6–12 months.

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.
