What Are Joint Injections?
Joint injections are a targeted medical treatment used to deliver medication directly into a painful or inflamed joint. The injections commonly contain:
Corticosteroids — to reduce inflammation and relieve pain
Hyaluronic acid — to support lubrication in joints affected by osteoarthritis
Local anesthetic — to provide immediate relief during and after injection
These treatments can help manage symptoms and improve mobility, especially when other conservative measures have not provided sufficient relief.
Conditions We Treat
Our joint injection service can help with a range of joint conditions, including:
-Osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis)
-Rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory joint pain
-Tendinopathy and bursitis
-Shoulder, knee, hip, elbow, wrist, and ankle pain
-Chronic joint stiffness and discomfort
Your clinician will tailor the injection and aftercare plan based on the specific joint involved and your individual needs.
When you attend MedPlus Clinic for a joint injection:
-A qualified clinician reviews your medical history and symptoms
-A physical assessment and, if needed, imaging or diagnostic tests are used to confirm the source of pain
-The clinician explains the most suitable type of injection for your condition
-The injection is administered in a calm, sterile clinical setting
-Aftercare advice is provided to support recovery and optimise outcomes
Most appointments last approximately 20–30 minutes, depending on the complexity of the area treated.
