Steroid injections and joint injections
at Skin & Bones
Steroid and joint injections at our Lancashire clinic
At Skin and Bones Medical we perform all injections using ultrasound guidance to improve accuracy. There is no special preparation required. You will attend for a consultation and diagnostic ultrasound scan, if required. Then we will make you comfortable before cleaning the skin and creating a sterile field.
What to expect from steroid and joint injections
The procedure itself takes less than 10 minutes. Local anaesthetic is used to provide instantaneous pain relief. The steroid itself can take a few days to kick in but should last several months to a year.
Most patients are able to drive immediately after the procedure and mobilise normally. If there are any special post procedure instructions your doctor will discuss these with you at the time.
