Corticosteroid Injection Therapy under Ultrasound Guidance

Corticosteroid Injection Therapy is a powerful treatment for reducing inflammation and relieving pain in conditions like tendonitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis and arthritis. At Surrey Foot Service, we use ultrasound guidance to ensure precise delivery of the corticosteroid into the affected area, enhancing the treatment’s effectiveness and safety.

What is Ultrasound-Guided Corticosteroid Injection Therapy?

Ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections allow us to visualise the target area in real time during the injection procedure. This ensures the medication is delivered accurately to the site of pain or inflammation, maximising therapeutic benefit while minimising any risks of complications.

Conditions treated with corticosteroid injections:

How does it work?

  1. Initial Consultation: During your consultation our podiatrist will assess your condition and discuss the potential benefits of Corticosteroid Injection Therapy.
  2. Ultrasound Guidance: Using an ultrasound machine we will precisely locate the site of inflammation or injury.
  3. Injection of Steroid Medication: The Corticosteroid medication is injected directly into the affected area under ultrasound guidance. This medication helps to reduce inflammation and relieve pain quickly.
  4. Recovery and Aftercare: After the procedure you can return home the same day. You may experience some mild discomfort which typically subsides within a few days. Your podiatrist will provide post-procedure care instructions to ensure optimal recovery.

Benefits of Corticosteroid Injection Therapy:

  • Fast pain relief: The medication works quickly to reduce inflammation and ease discomfort.
  • Minimal downtime: Most patients can return to their daily activities with minimal disruption.
  • Precise treatment: Ultrasound guidance ensures the medication is administered accurately to the source of pain.
  • Long-lasting results: Many patients experience significant improvement for weeks or even months after the injection.

Ostenil Injections for Joint Pain and Osteoarthritis

Ostenil injections are a type of hyaluronic acid injection designed to treat joint pain caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the joints that acts as a lubricant helping to cushion and reduce friction between the bones. As we age or due to injury the amount of hyaluronic acid in the joints can decrease leading to pain, stiffness and decreased mobility.

What is an Ostenil Injection?

Ostenil is a high-quality form of hyaluronic acid that is injected directly into the joint providing lubrication and improving joint function. This treatment is particularly useful for patients suffering from joint pain due to osteoarthritis or other degenerative joint conditions in the foot and ankle.

Conditions Treated with Ostenil Injections:

How does it work?

  1. Initial Assessment: Our podiatrist will assess your condition to determine if Ostenil Injection Therapy is the right treatment for you.
  2. Injection of Hyaluronic Acid: Ostenil is injected into the affected joint providing instant relief by replenishing the natural lubricant in the joint and improving mobility.
  3. Post-Treatment Care: Most patients can return to their regular activities the same day. Your podiatrist will provide aftercare instructions and advice on how to maximize the benefits of the treatment.

Benefits of Ostenil Injections:

  • Restores joint lubrication: Helps reduce friction in the joint, leading to improved mobility and less pain.
  • Non-invasive: Avoids the need for surgery or more invasive treatments.
  • Long-lasting relief: The effects can last several months reducing the need for frequent treatments.
  • Quick recovery: Most patients can resume normal activities with minimal downtime.

Surrey Foot Service provides effective, minimally invasive treatments to restore comfort and mobility. Our expert podiatrists offer tailored solutions for inflammation, joint pain and tendon issues.
