Why Ultrasound-Guided Injections Are More Effective

Real-time imaging places the needle exactly where it needs to be — more accurate than blind landmark injections, with better outcomes and lower risk.

Real-Time Imaging

Live ultrasound shows needle and target tissue simultaneously — no guesswork.

Greater Accuracy

Reaches the target more reliably than blind techniques — more consistent relief.

Lower Risk

Reduces the risk of hitting nerves, tendons or blood vessels during the procedure.

Diagnostic Value

The scan identifies fluid, inflammation or structural changes to guide your treatment.

Joints & Conditions We Treat

Our specialist injection service covers a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions — from common arthritis and bursitis to more complex shoulder pathologies.

Shoulder

Subacromial bursitis — cortisone injection to reduce inflammation in the bursa beneath the acromion
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) — hydrodilatation to stretch and release the contracted capsule
Calcific tendinitis — barbotage to break up calcium deposits in the rotator cuff
Acromioclavicular (AC) joint pain — targeted cortisone injection to the AC joint
Rotator cuff tendinopathy — targeted shoulder injection to the affected tendon

Knee

Osteoarthritis — cortisone injection to reduce pain and swelling, or hyaluronic acid to improve joint lubrication
Arthrosamid — long-lasting hydrogel injection for knee OA that reduces pain and enhances function without frequent retreatment
Baker's cyst aspiration — guided knee injection to drain the cyst
Prepatellar bursitis — guided drainage and cortisone injection
Patellofemoral pain — targeted anti-inflammatory injection

Hip & Bursa

Hip osteoarthritis — intra-articular cortisone injection for pain and mobility
Trochanteric bursitis — cortisone injection to the greater trochanteric bursa
Iliopsoas bursitis — guided injection to the deep anterior hip bursa
Sacroiliac joint pain — targeted injection for SI joint-related lower back pain
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome — anti-inflammatory injection to the lateral hip

Types of Injections We Offer

We offer a range of advanced, evidence-based injection therapies — each selected based on your diagnosis, the joint involved and your treatment goals.

Cortisone (Steroid) Injection

A corticosteroid is injected directly into the affected joint or bursa under ultrasound guidance. Reduces inflammation rapidly and effectively, with relief typically lasting weeks to months. Suitable for bursitis, arthritis, tendinopathy and most acute inflammatory joint conditions.

Best for: rapid anti-inflammatory / steroid injection Surrey

Hyaluronic Acid (Viscosupplementation)

A synthetic version of the naturally occurring joint fluid is injected to improve lubrication and cushioning in arthritic joints. Particularly effective for knee osteoarthritis. Effects build gradually and can last 6–12 months.

Best for: knee OA, longer-lasting lubrication

Hydrodilatation (Frozen Shoulder)

A combination of fluid (saline + steroid) is injected into the shoulder capsule under ultrasound guidance to stretch and release the contracted tissue. The most effective minimally invasive treatment for adhesive capsulitis — results in improved range of movement, often significantly.

Best for: frozen shoulder / adhesive capsulitis

Barbotage (Calcific Tendinitis)

Calcium deposits in the rotator cuff are broken up using a fine needle under ultrasound guidance and aspirated (washed out). Highly effective for calcific tendinitis of the shoulder where other treatments have failed, often providing rapid and lasting relief.

Best for: calcific tendinitis of the shoulder

Frequently Asked Questions — Ultrasound-Guided Injections

An ultrasound-guided injection uses real-time imaging to guide a needle to the precise location in a joint or bursa. This is more accurate than landmark-based blind injections, leading to better outcomes and lower risk of tissue damage.
A local anaesthetic is applied before the injection to minimise discomfort. Most patients report mild pressure rather than pain. The procedure takes around 15–30 minutes in total.
Cortisone injections typically take 3–5 days to take full effect, with relief lasting weeks to several months depending on the condition. Hyaluronic acid injections may take longer to build benefit but can provide longer-lasting lubrication for arthritic joints.
This depends on the joint, the type of injection and your individual response. As a general guide, cortisone injections to the same joint are usually limited to 3 per year. Your clinician will advise the most appropriate plan during your assessment.
No referral is needed. You can self-refer directly by booking online or calling 01252 224 444.
