Hand & Wrist Issues
Our specialists perform precise ultrasound-guided procedures for hand and wrist conditions, helping to relieve discomfort, restore function, and prevent further injury.
Each treatment is supported by a diagnostic scan of the affected area to guide accurate intervention.
Hand & Wrist Procedures
Steroid injection for arthritis or tendonitis - £450
Arthritis or tendonitis in the hand and wrist can cause pain, swelling, and reduced mobility. A steroid injection targets the inflamed area to reduce symptoms and improve function, helping you return to your daily activities.
Carpal tunnel treatment - £450
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve in the wrist, leading to numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hand. A steroid injection into the carpal tunnel can reduce inflammation and nerve pressure, easing symptoms.
Trigger finger treatment - £450
Trigger finger occurs when inflammation narrows the sheath around a tendon in the finger, causing pain, stiffness, or locking. A steroid injection can reduce inflammation and restore smooth movement, helping you return to everyday activities.
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 sheath 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 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. The procedure typically takes just a few minutes and is generally very well tolerated.
What symptoms might prompt a hand or wrist procedure?
Pain, swelling, stiffness, tingling, or locking of the fingers. A lump or cyst may also appear near a joint or tendon.
