Ultrasound Guided Injections in Balham

Ultrasound Guided Injections can help to provide pain relief, reduce inflammation or to stimulate the bodies natural healing process to aid rehabilitation and injury healing.

This specialist treatment is a minimally invasive injection of either a corticosteroid or sodium hyaluronate gel. Our specialist will be guided by ultrasound to accurately give the injection. Injection therapy for muscle, tendon and joint conditions is significantly more effective but also generally safer than taking anti-inflammation medication by mouth.

Alongside Guided Injections we provide Musculoskeletal Diagnostic Ultrasound Scans to aid in accurate diagnosis of many pathologies.

Diagnostic Scans

Appointment types:

Corticosteroid Injections for Joint Pain
Corticosteroid injections deliver targeted relief by reducing inflammation and swelling within the affected joint, providing significant pain alleviation and improved joint function. These injections are typically delivered in conjunction with a local anaesthetic.

Key Benefits:

Targeted relief by reducing inflammation and swelling

Substantial pain alleviation, facilitating enhanced joint functionality

Improved ability to resume daily activities comfortably and effectively

30 minutes
Prices include full diagnostic scan & report with diagnostic images
Gel (Sodium Hyaluronate) Injections for Joint Pain
Sodium Hyaluronate injections are an alternative to corticosteroid injections for degenerative joint conditions. Under ultrasound guidance, sodium hyaluronate gel is injected directly into the joint, providing cushioning and lubrication to alleviate discomfort and enhance joint mobility. These injections are also offered to provide a non-surgical alternative aimed at delaying the necessity for surgical intervention.

Key Benefits:

Enhanced joint cushioning and lubrication for reduced discomfort

Improved joint mobility and function, potentially delaying the need for surgery

Alleviation of friction-related discomfort during joint movement

Ultrasound Guided Tendon Acupuncture With Local Anaesthetic
Ultrasound-guided prolotherapy (acupuncture) involves passing a small needle edge into the degenerated area of tendon and tendon insertion to the bone under ultrasound guidance and using local anaesthetic. This minimally invasive procedure stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting tissue repair and reducing persistent discomfort in tendons or ligaments.

Key Benefits:

Stimulation of the body’s natural healing process for tissue repair

Reduction in persistent chronic tendon discomfort

Enhanced mobility and functionality, potentially reducing reliance on pain medications
