Pain Management

Joint Injection Therapy

Targeted relief for pain and inflammation

Joint Injection Therapy offers two targeted, non-surgical approaches to relieve joint and tendon pain.

Corticosteroid (steroid) injections work by reducing inflammation directly at the affected site, giving fast, effective relief for severe joint or tendon pain, and are often given alongside a local anaesthetic for added comfort. As they act quickly on inflammation, they're a trusted option for flare-ups and acute discomfort - though the number you can safely have in a single joint is limited over time.

Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) therapy takes a different, regenerative approach, using concentrated growth factors drawn from your own blood to help heal the affected area from within. By promoting tissue regeneration and cellular growth, PRP can slow deterioration in the joint and surrounding tissue, potentially delaying or even reducing the need for surgery in the future. It's an option many clients turn to for longer-term, self-healing therapy, and side effects are rare since the treatment is derived entirely from your own blood. At Dermiology, every treatment follows a full consultation and assessment of your individual needs - never a one-size-fits-all formula.

Is This Right For You

Who's It For?

● Individuals experiencing joint or tendon pain, stiffness, or inflammation affecting daily movement

● Those with conditions such as osteoarthritis, bursitis, or tendonitis in the knee, shoulder, hip, elbow, wrist, or ankle

● Clients looking for either fast-acting relief or longer-term regenerative support, depending on their goals

Not sure if this is right for you?
If you're uncertain whether steroid injections or PRP therapy is right for you, our clinical team will guide you through a full assessment during your consultation.

Before the treatment

● A full consultation and medical history review will be carried out prior to any Joint Injection Therapy

● Let your clinician know about any allergies, current medications, or existing health conditions

● Let your clinician know which joint is affected and how long you've been experiencing symptoms

● Wear or bring loose clothing that allows easy access to the affected joint

Aftercare

● Mild redness, tenderness, or swelling at the injection site may occur - this typically resolves within a day or two

● Rest the treated joint and avoid strenuous activity for 24-48 hours following treatment

● Apply a cold compress to the area if needed to help with any discomfort

● Pain relief timing varies by treatment type - steroid injections often work quickly, while PRP benefits build gradually over time

Frequently Asked Questions!

● What's the difference between steroid injections and PRP therapy?
Steroid injections reduce inflammation quickly and are often given with a local anaesthetic, though the number you can have per joint is limited over time. PRP therapy uses your own blood's growth factors to promote longer-term healing and tissue regeneration, with benefits that build gradually.

● Will I feel relief immediately?
Steroid injections often ease pain quickly by reducing inflammation, while PRP therapy works more gradually as it promotes tissue regeneration and healing over time. Your clinician will talk you through what to expect for your chosen treatment at consultation.

● Is Joint Injection Therapy painful?
Most clients feel only mild discomfort during the injection, which is well tolerated. Your comfort is a priority throughout, and your clinician will discuss this with you beforehand.

● How often will I need this treatment?
This depends on your condition, chosen treatment, and response. Steroid injections are limited in how often they can be repeated in the same joint, while PRP can often be used as ongoing long-term therapy. Our clinical team will recommend a personalised schedule.

● Are there any side effects?
Steroid injections carry mild, temporary risks such as tenderness or swelling at the site. PRP therapy rarely causes side effects, as it's derived from your own blood. Any specific risks will be discussed with you beforehand.

● Can PRP therapy help me avoid surgery?
For some clients, PRP therapy can help reduce joint and tissue deterioration over time, potentially delaying or reducing the need for future surgery. Your clinician can discuss whether this is a realistic goal for your condition.

I felt so at ease during my appointment - Piya knew I was nervous and not good with needles but she talked me through it all and I can’t wait to return! The botox was amazing and lasted ages!

I recently had the Myers cocktail IV drip at Dermiology Aesthetics Clinic in Mountsorell, Leicester, and I must say I was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The drip included a mix of essential vitamins such as vitamin C, B complex, glutathione, and B12, which left me feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.

I am always anxious going to skin clinics, however I was so reassured by Piya at Dermiology. She has helped heal my skin and she’s definitely an expert, she has taught me a lot about my skin and skin care too.
