ABOUT THIS SERVICE

What is Steroid Treatment?

Corticosteroid injections are a well-established medical treatment for reducing inflammation and pain in joints, tendons, bursae and soft tissues. They contain a synthetic version of cortisol — a hormone naturally produced by the body — which powerfully reduces local inflammation.

At Physio Experts, steroid injections are administered by qualified clinicians with specialist injection training. They are used as part of a broader treatment plan — the injection reduces pain and inflammation sufficiently to allow physiotherapy to be carried out more effectively, leading to better long-term outcomes.
