Each procedure includes a focused diagnostic scan of the knee to ensure precision and tailored treatment.
Knee Procedures
Steroid injection for arthritis or bursitis - £450
A steroid injection targets inflammation to reduce pain and swelling in the knee joint or surrounding bursa. This treatment can provide lasting relief and support everyday activities with greater ease.
Hyaluronic acid injection for arthritis - £550
A hyaluronic acid injection adds cushioning and lubrication to the knee joint to reduce pain and stiffness. It can help improve comfort and mobility, especially in people with knee 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 knee 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.
