Consider steroid injections for sports injuries in Thornton-Cleveleys
For many years, steroid injections have been used to treat sports injuries. These corticosteroid injections are often used to relieve inflammation and pain in joints, tendons and other soft tissues.
Steroid injections contain a corticosteroid medicine, which is a type of steroid hormone that the adrenal gland naturally produces. These drugs can help to ease pain and improve mobility by reducing inflammation and swelling in wounded tissues.
A steroid injection delivers the medication directly to the location of the injury, such as a joint or tendon. When compared to oral drugs, which must first pass through the digestive system before reaching the affected location, this tailored method allows for a more potent and successful treatment.

You will have the opportunity to discuss the benefits and potential complications with the specialist prior to the injection, and you will be given a consent statement. Following your treatment, you will be given a care information leaflet as well as the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
You will then be requested to wait for 15-20 minutes as we ensure your safety before being released. We do recommend having a family member or friend accompany you to this treatment.
