Who It’s For
-
Persistent joint pain not improving with physiotherapy
If you’ve been attending physiotherapy but feel like progress has plateaued, injection therapy may help reduce pain and inflammation enough to allow you to move forward. It can be particularly useful when pain is limiting your ability to fully engage in exercises or daily activities.
-
Frozen shoulder
Hydrodilatation is commonly used to treat frozen shoulder, especially when stiffness and pain are significantly restricting movement. The procedure helps stretch the joint capsule, which can improve mobility and make rehabilitation exercises more effective.
-
Tendinopathies or bursitis
Conditions such as shoulder, hip, knee, or wrist pain caused by tendon irritation or inflamed bursae can respond well to cortisone injections. By settling inflammation, injections can help reduce pain and create a better window for strengthening and recovery.

Your Journey
-
Initial Assessment
Your appointment begins with a thorough assessment of your symptoms, medical history, and previous treatment. We’ll discuss your goals and determine whether injection therapy is appropriate for you. If needed, we may recommend continuing with physiotherapy alone or exploring alternative options.
-
Injection Appointment
If suitable, your injection will be carried out in a safe, clinical environment by Catherine, a qualified physiotherapist trained in injection therapy. The procedure will be fully explained beforehand, including what you may feel during and after. We take a calm, patient-focused approach to ensure you feel comfortable throughout.
-
Aftercare & Rehab
Following your injection, you’ll receive clear aftercare advice and guidance on activity levels to help you recover safely and confidently. If appropriate, we may recommend a tailored physiotherapy plan to support your longer-term progress and help you get the most from your treatment. Physiotherapy sessions are not included but can be booked separately if needed.
FAQs
Does the injection hurt?
Most patients experience mild discomfort during the injection, but it is usually very quick and well tolerated. We will talk you through the process beforehand so you know exactly what to expect.
How quickly will it work?
This can vary depending on the condition being treated. Some people notice improvement within a few days, while for others it may take a couple of weeks. Hydrodilatation for frozen shoulder may also lead to gradual improvements in movement over time.
Do I still need physiotherapy?
In most cases, yes. Injection therapy is most effective when combined with a structured rehabilitation programme to address the underlying cause of your symptoms and reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
Are there any risks?
As with any medical procedure, there are some risks, such as temporary soreness, infection, or a short-term increase in pain. These will be fully discussed with you during your assessment so you can make an informed decision.
Do I need a GP referral?
In most cases, no referral is needed. However, if required, we can liaise with your GP or consultant to ensure you receive the most appropriate care.
