Cortisone (Steroid) Injections

Cortisone injections (also known as steroid injections) reduce inflammation and pain within a joint or soft tissue. Using cortisone for pain relief can enable the patient to reduce their medication, sleep more normally, and make a prompt return to their work and hobbies.

A cortisone injection can also provide a window of opportunity for further physiotherapy to help strengthen and improve the mobility of the affected area. In this way, cortisone steroid injections can play a significant role in your ongoing rehabilitation.

For some patients, a cortisone injection can be used as a standalone treatment for particular flare-ups of joint or soft tissue pain.

David Bolwell Physiotherapy Services provide cortisone steroid injections in Cardiff. Here's the clinic address: The Village Hotel & Leisure, 29 Pendwyallt Road, Whitchurch, Cardiff, CF14 7EF (feel free to contact us if you need directions).

Before you receive any cortisone injections, we'll conduct a consultation to make sure this treatment is right for you. During your initial consultation, one of our qualified physiotherapists will ask you about your general health and what medication you take. They will also explain the steroid injection procedure so that you know what to expect.

Cortisone injections generally have fewer side effects than long-term anti-inflammatory medications. Your physiotherapist will make you aware of any possible side effects.
