FAQs
What does this procedure involve?
The skin is thoroughly cleaned, and a local anaesthetic is first injected to numb the area. The needle is then guided to the 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.
What are the symptoms of subacromial bursitis?
Shoulder pain when lifting the arm, reaching overhead, or lying on the shoulder. Weakness and stiffness are common.
How can a steroid injection help?
It helps to reduce inflammation in the bursa, easing pain and improving movement.
