What Are Cortisone Injections?
Cortisone (corticosteroid) injections are one of the most established and widely-used treatments for joint inflammation and pain in the UK. The injection delivers a powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly into the affected joint, providing targeted relief where oral painkillers cannot reach.
At Harley Street Wellness, all cortisone injections are performed by GMC-registered specialists with extensive experience in musculoskeletal medicine. Our practitioners ensure precise needle placement into the affected area, maximising the effectiveness of the treatment and minimising discomfort.
Cortisone works by suppressing the immune response that causes inflammation, reducing swelling, pain, and stiffness. Relief typically begins within 48-72 hours and can last from several weeks to several months depending on the severity of the condition.
