Hip Issues
We deliver expert ultrasound-guided procedures for hip conditions, targeting pain and stiffness to support improved mobility and long-term recovery.
Every procedure is paired with a diagnostic scan of the hip for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Hip Procedures
Steroid injection for arthritis or bursitis - £450
A steroid injection can help relieve pain by reducing inflammation and stiffness in the hip joint or the surrounding bursa (a fluid-filled sac that cushions the joint). This treatment is often used for conditions like hip bursitis or arthritis to improve mobility and comfort.
Hyaluronic acid injection for arthritis - £550
A hyaluronic acid injection helps lubricate the hip joint, acting like a cushion to reduce friction during movement. This can ease pain and improve joint function, especially in cases of hip osteoarthritis.
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 into the hip joint or bursa 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.
