Steroid (cortisone) injections or shots are performed to help with pain, inflammation and assist in rehabilitation.

Steroid injections have been used for many years and are generally safe for most patients.

The injection can be performed for joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves.

Our expert consultant radiologists perform more than 50 different types of injections.

Why use ultrasound guidance?

This allows us to precisely deliver the medication and be sure that the treatment works best for you. Some injections can be performed without ultrasound but this reduces their success rate. Many injections can only be performed with ultrasound guidance due to the nature of their location and difficulty.
