At Bramhall Park Physiotherapy Clinic, we provide an expert Injection Therapy service. Injection Therapy is an effective way to abolish or reduce pain and restore function by providing a \u2018window of opportunity\u2019 that allows your physiotherapist to integrate conventional physiotherapy treatment. By effectively treating the underlying cause of your pain your physiotherapist can help you achieve the best possible outcome.<\/p>\n
Our clinic offers both Corticosteroid injection and Hyaluronic Acid injection (Ostenil injection). Both injections have their own use and therapeutic benefits. The choice depends on your presenting symptoms\/condition, as well as your personal preferences. Your management plan will be tailored to your individual needs.<\/p>\n
Types of Injection<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Corticosteroid injection<\/strong> has been frequently used in clinical practice for many years. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory medicine which has a significant effect in reducing pain and improving function in the short-term. It can be useful when pain is severe and irritable, or where there is low-grade persistent pain, for which anti-inflammatory and analgesics may be required locally at the site of the preesnting symptom. However, Corticosteroid injections can cause side-effects, particularly with repeated use and when injecting on certain joints or some soft tissue conditions.<\/p>\n Hyaluronic Acid (HA)<\/strong> is a naturally occurring substance found in normal joints and tissues, and is therefore free of harmful side effects. HA injection has been shown to reduce pain and stiffness, with a particularly high success rate on mild-moderate Osteoarthritis (OA) knee joints, shoulder joints and small joints such as hand and feet. HA injection has been widely used in private practice, sports medicine and elite sports such as Premiership football and cricket. It is also very popular amongst the older active population who wish to keep active and control symptoms, without the risk of negative side-effects.<\/p>\n Why Choose Bramhall Park?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Injection Therapy falls within the Advanced Scope of Practice of a Chartered Physiotherapist. The governance and post-graduate training of Injection Therapy is very robust in the UK. As a result, very few private physiotherapy clinics throughout the UK offer this service.<\/p>\n At Bramhall Park Physiotherapy Clinic, injection therapy is performed by Dr. Sharon Braddock, who is an experienced injection therapist (performing over 200 injections each year).\u00a0 Dr. Braddock is also a Teaching Fellow of the Society of Musculoskeletal Medicine (SOMM), training post-graduate doctors and physiotherapists in Injection Therapy.\u00a0 Dr. Braddock\u2019s extensive expertise in both teaching and practising injections enables her to provide a high quality service for her patients.<\/p>\n Your Treatment<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Prior to any treatment, patients are given a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis and to assess if it is appropriate and beneficial to receive injection therapy. Treatment options and the type of injection therapy will be discussed accordingly. Injection is performed under a strict aseptic technique and is delivered to the targeted area. You will be asked to take it easy following the injection, yet comfortable active movement is encouraged. You will be re-assessed 2-3 weeks following the injection, at this point pain and associated symptoms should be improved, and your physiotherapy rehabilitation can be re-commenced in line with your goals.<\/p>\n<\/div> Corticosteroid is an anti-inflammatory medication, which is used to reduce inflammation, pain and swelling of irritable joints and soft tissue conditions. It is widely used in a variety of musculoskeletal conditions in clinical practice. Research evidence suggests that corticosteroid injection is effective in reducing pain and symptoms, and improving function in the short-term (1-3-months).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Corticosteroid injection reduces inflammation and pain by inhibiting both chemical and cell-mediated aspects of inflammatory responses to disease and injury. This results in reduction in inflammation and discomfort. The effects of cortisone part of the injection can take few days to few weeks to take effect. Some of this difference may depend on the nature, duration and severity of the presenting condition.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> When pain becomes a barrier to your normal function and physiotherapy treatment, the short-term effectiveness of a Corticosteroid injection provides a \u2018window of opportunity\u2019, allowing your physiotherapist to treat the underlying cause of your pain and problem, and facilitate your return to normal function quicker.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>What is a Corticosteroid injection?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
