Relieve Pain and Restore Movement at Physio Experts Clinics
Knee osteoarthritis is a common condition affecting millions, often causing joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. At Physio Experts Clinics in Northampton, we offer corticosteroid injection therapy—a proven and effective treatment for managing knee osteoarthritis and helping you get back to the activities you love.
How Do Corticosteroid Injections Help?
Corticosteroid injections deliver powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly into the knee joint. This helps reduce swelling, relieve pain, and improve joint function—often within just a few days.
Key Benefits:
Rapid pain relief lasting several weeks to a few months
Reduced inflammation and better knee mobility
Enhanced participation in physiotherapy treatments
Minimally invasive option for those not ready for surgery
When Is This Treatment Recommended?
Corticosteroid injections are ideal for patients who:
Experience moderate to severe knee pain due to knee osteoarthritis
Have not responded well to oral medications or physiotherapy alone
Need temporary relief to actively engage in rehab or exercise
This therapy is part of a comprehensive osteoarthritis treatment plan, which may also include physiotherapy in Northampton, weight management, and strengthening exercises.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Corticosteroid injection therapy is generally safe, but possible side effects include:
Temporary increase in joint discomfort
Skin thinning or discoloration at the injection site
Short-term rise in blood sugar levels (especially in diabetics)
To protect joint health, repeated injections are spaced out appropriately.
