Joint Pain - London Bridge

Joint Pain:
Targeted Injections for Pain Relief in London Bridge

Joint pain can significantly impact your quality of life, leading to chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. At London Bridge Healthcare, we specialise in providing effective, minimally invasive treatments for joint pain relief through precision injections. Our goal is to help you regain comfort and mobility, so you can return to your daily activities with ease.

Understanding Musculoskeletal (MSK) Conditions

MSK conditions encompass a wide range of disorders that affect the muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. Many of these conditions can be painful and targeted injections can help alleviate the pain. These conditions can result from injury, overuse, degenerative changes, or autoimmune diseases, and they often lead to pain and inflammation in the affected areas. Common MSK conditions include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, and joint injuries.

Precision Injections for Joint Pain Relief

One of the most effective treatments we offer for managing joint pain associated with MSK conditions is precision injections. These injections deliver targeted relief directly to the source of pain and inflammation, providing significant and often long-lasting symptom relief.

Types of Precision Injections We Offer

Hyaluronic Acid Injections

What It Includes: Hyaluronic acid injections, also known as Visco supplementation, involve injecting a gel-like substance into the joint to lubricate it, reduce friction, and improve joint movement.

Why It’s Important: These injections are particularly effective for patients with osteoarthritis, especially in the knee, where they can help reduce pain and improve mobility.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections

What It Includes: PRP injections involve using a concentrated solution of the patient’s own platelets, which are rich in growth factors. These injections promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation.

Why It’s Important: PRP is often used for treating tendonitis, ligament injuries, and mild to moderate arthritis.

Nerve Block Injections

What It Includes: Nerve block injections are used to numb specific nerves that are transmitting pain signals, providing targeted relief from chronic pain.

Why It’s Important: These injections are useful for conditions like chronic back pain, sciatica, and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).

Corticosteroid Injections

What It Includes: Corticosteroid injections are anti-inflammatory medications that are injected directly into the joint or surrounding tissues. They help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve joint function.

Why It’s Important: These injections are commonly used for conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, and tendonitis.

The Injection Process

At London Bridge Healthcare, we ensure that the injection process is as smooth and comfortable as possible:

01

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with one of our joint pain specialists. We’ll assess your condition, discuss your symptoms, and determine the most appropriate type of injection for your needs.

02

Imaging-Guided Precision

To ensure maximum accuracy, many of our injections are performed under ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance. This allows us to precisely target the affected area, improving the effectiveness of the treatment and minimising discomfort.

03

Quick and Convenient

Most injection procedures are quick, typically taking less than 30 minutes, and can be done on an outpatient basis. You’ll be able to go home the same day.

04

Post-Injection Care

After the procedure, we’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and schedule any necessary follow-up appointments. While many patients experience relief shortly after the injection, the full benefits may take a few days to manifest.
