Steroid injections, also known as corticosteroid injections, deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly into the joint space. They provide fast pain relief and help reduce swelling caused by arthritis or injury.
Unlike oral medicines that act on the whole body, steroid injections work locally at the pain site, making them ideal for joint-related conditions.
Precise injection directly into the joint to ease inflammation and pain.
Common conditions treated with steroid injections:
Reduces pain and inflammation in joints like knees and shoulders.
Eases swelling and joint pain after ligament or tendon injury.
Helps when medications or physiotherapy aren’t enough.
Why patients choose steroid injections for relief:

Helps patients move more comfortably and resume physiotherapy.

Steroid injections are generally safe but may cause temporary soreness, mild flushing, or very rarely, infection.
