Several members of our team offer steroid (also called cortisone) injections for pain-relief, e.g. for osteoarthritis, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, trigger fingers, bursitis. These can be for many body parts e.g. knees, shoulders, elbows, fingers, toes, ankles. You will need to be assessed firstly to ensure that these injections are appropriate and safe for you. If you wish to request a steroid injection, or have had one before, please ensure that you book in with the appropriate clinician who offers this procedure, especially if you are arranging an appointment using our Rapid Health system.
