Corticosteroid Injections

Corticosteroid injections are utilized to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain in specific areas of the body, such as joints, tendons, or bursae. They are commonly considered for conditions like arthritis or tendonitis. These injections can provide rapid relief, but the duration of effectiveness may vary among individuals. It's important to note that while corticosteroid injections can be effective for short-term symptom relief, their long-term efficacy and potential impact on joint health should be carefully considered.

Cost: £110 per injection

Ostenil Injections

Ostenil is a hyaluronic acid-based treatment designed to improve joint function by enhancing lubrication and cushioning within the joint. It is often used for managing symptoms associated with osteoarthritis. At our clinic, Ostenil injections are specifically offered for knee osteoarthritis and require a series of three sessions for optimal effectiveness.

Cost:

Single Session: £250

Package of Three Sessions: £600

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP therapy involves using a concentration of a patient's own platelets to promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. This approach leverages the body's natural healing processes. PRP injections have been explored for various musculoskeletal conditions, including tendon injuries and osteoarthritis. While some studies suggest potential benefits, the overall effectiveness of PRP therapy remains a topic of ongoing research, and results can vary among individuals.

Cost: £379.00 per Joint

Important Considerations

Individual Assessment: The suitability of these treatments varies based on individual health conditions. A thorough consultation with our healthcare professionals is essential to determine the most appropriate therapy for your specific needs.

Evidence and Efficacy: While these treatments are commonly used, it's important to understand that their effectiveness can vary, and not all patients may experience the same level of benefit. Current research provides mixed results, and ongoing studies continue to evaluate their efficacy.

Treatment Eligibility and Cancellation Policy

Please be aware that our healthcare professionals reserve the right to decline treatment if it is deemed clinically unwarranted or inappropriate during your appointment. In such cases, we will make every effort to reschedule your appointment or suggest alternative treatment options. However, a fee equivalent to 25% of the intended treatment cost will be applicable to cover the time and resources allocated for your appointment.
