Foot & Ankle Issues
We offer targeted ultrasound-guided procedures for foot and ankle problems, designed to ease pain, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility.
A dedicated diagnostic scan of the area is included in every appointment for accurate assessment and care.
Foot & Ankle Procedures
Steroid injection for arthritis or bursitis - £450
A steroid injection can help reduce pain and inflammation in the joints or tendons of the foot or ankle.
This can lead to improved movement and faster recovery.
Hydrodissection for Achilles tendinopathy - £450
Hydrodissection involves injecting fluid around the Achilles tendon to gently separate it from surrounding tissues. This can release adhesions, reduce pain, and improve tendon mobility.
Morton’s neuroma treatment - £450
Morton’s neuroma is a painful condition in the ball of the foot caused by an irritated nerve, often felt as sharp pain or the sensation of standing on a pebble. A steroid injection can reduce inflammation around the nerve, relieving pain and improving mobility - often without the need for surgery.
Ganglion cyst aspiration - £450
Ganglion cysts are fluid-filled lumps that commonly develop near joints or tendons, often linked to repetitive movements. A guided aspiration can safely drain the cyst, relieving discomfort and improving mobility.
FAQs
What does a steroid injection involve?
The skin is thoroughly cleaned, and a local anaesthetic is first injected to numb the area. The needle is then guided to the joint or tendon under ultrasound guidance for accuracy. Once the correct position is confirmed, the steroid is administered. The procedure typically takes just a few minutes and is generally very well tolerated.
What does a hydrodissection involve?
The skin is thoroughly cleaned, and a local anaesthetic is first injected to numb the area. The needle is then guided next to the tendon under ultrasound guidance for accuracy. Once the correct position is confirmed, local anaesthetic and saline is injected to release adhesions and reduce pain. Steroid may also be given to reduce inflammation. The procedure typically takes just a few minutes and is generally very well tolerated.
What does a ganglion cyst aspiration involve?
The skin is thoroughly cleaned, and a local anaesthetic is first injected to numb the area. The needle is then guided into the cyst under ultrasound guidance for accuracy. Once the correct position is confirmed, the fluid is drained. Sometimes a small steroid dose is given afterwards into the drained cyst cavity. The procedure typically takes just a few minutes and is generally very well tolerated.
What symptoms may prompt a foot & ankle procedure?
Pain, swelling, stiffness, numbness, or a lump. Pain may worsen with walking, running, or wearing tight shoes.
