MSK Injection Therapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat pain and inflammation in muscles, tendons, joints, and ligaments.
The key difference with our approach is the use of real-time ultrasound guidance. Unlike traditional injections given based on anatomy alone, we use an ultrasound machine to visualise the exact structures inside your body on a screen. This allows Dr. Mahdi Alosert to guide the needle directly to the precise site of your pain with absolute accuracy, avoiding nerves and blood vessels.
This versatile therapy can effectively address a wide range of painful conditions, including:
Arthritis (inflammatory joint pain)
Frozen Shoulder
Bursitis (inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs near joints)
Tendonitis (e.g., Tennis Elbow, Achilles Tendonitis)
Sports Injuries
Ligament Sprains
Chronic joint pain
A powerful anti-inflammatory medication to rapidly reduce swelling and pain.
Provides immediate pain relief, which also helps confirm the diagnosis.
A natural treatment that uses your own blood’s healing factors to promote tissue repair and long-term healing.
We understand that living with pain can be debilitating. Our goal is simple: to help you move more freely, with less pain and more confidence.
Most patients experience only minimal discomfort. We use a local anesthetic to numb the area before the injection. You might feel a slight pinch from the initial needle prick and some mild pressure during the injection, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated.
The duration of relief varies depending on your specific condition, the medication used, and your body’s response. Typically, the anti-inflammatory effects of a corticosteroid injection can last from several weeks to several months. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections aim to promote longer-term healing and natural tissue regeneration, with results that can be more sustained.
Side effects are usually mild and temporary. The most common include some soreness, redness, or slight swelling at the injection site for a day or two. There is a small risk of infection, bleeding, or bruising, which is minimized by using sterile ultrasound-guided technique. Our specialist will discuss all potential risks with you during your consultation.
The number of sessions required is highly individual. Many patients experience significant improvement after just one injection. Some chronic conditions may require a series of injections, typically spaced several weeks or months apart. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your specific needs and response, which we will discuss with you after your initial assessment.
