At MUI clinic , we understand how much pain can affect your daily life. Whether you’re dealing with arthritis, a sports injury or a soft tissue condition, living in discomfort makes everything harder. That’s why we offer ultrasound-guided steroid injections at our clinic in Thornton-Cleveleys — a fast and effective way to manage pain and help you move forward.
Steroid injections, also known as cortisone injections, are commonly used to reduce inflammation and ease pain in musculoskeletal conditions. When guided by real-time ultrasound, the precision of these injections improves significantly. That means better results, faster relief and less guesswork.
What Can Steroid Injections Help With?
Ultrasound-guided steroid injections are suitable for a wide range of conditions. Here are some of the most common problems we treat:
Arthritis- Pain and stiffness from arthritis can limit your mobility and affect your quality of life. We treat arthritis in various joints including the hips, knees, hands and feet.
Bursitis- Trochanteric bursitis, which affects the outer hip, can be especially painful. Steroid injections target the inflamed bursa to reduce swelling and help restore movement.
Soft Tissue Injuries- From frozen shoulder and rotator cuff tears to plantar fasciitis and carpal tunnel syndrome, these conditions can be stubborn and long-lasting. A well-placed steroid injection can bring real relief and help break the cycle of pain and inflammation.
How the Procedure Works
Before your injection, you’ll meet with one of our experienced consultants who will go over the benefits and potential risks. You’ll have a chance to ask any questions, and we’ll only proceed once you’ve given written consent.
Using high-resolution ultrasound, we’ll guide the injection needle with pinpoint accuracy to the affected area. This ensures the steroid is delivered exactly where it’s needed most. The procedure is quick, usually taking less than 30 minutes from start to finish.
After your injection, you’ll receive an aftercare leaflet with everything you need to know about what to expect and how to look after the area. You’ll then wait for around 15 to 20 minutes in our clinic so we can ensure you’re feeling well before going home. We recommend bringing a friend or family member to accompany you for peace of mind.
Each appointment costs £180 and includes consultation, scanning and the injection itself.
More Than Just Steroid Injections
While steroid injections are an excellent tool for managing pain, they’re just one part of what we do at MUI clinic.
PRP therapy uses your own blood to promote healing. By concentrating platelets from your bloodstream and injecting them into injured joints or tendons, we can stimulate the body’s natural repair process. It’s a popular treatment for chronic tendon issues and joint pain, especially in active individuals.
We offer high-quality diagnostic scans that help identify the exact cause of your pain. Whether it’s a tear, inflammation or degeneration, having an accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment.
Ultrasound-Guided Hyaluronic Acid Injections (Ostenil)
These injections are ideal for people with mild to moderate arthritis. Hyaluronic acid helps lubricate the joints and improve shock absorption, which can ease stiffness and restore movement.
Cyst and Lesion Removal
If you’re dealing with a cyst or other soft tissue lesion that’s causing discomfort or restricting movement, we can help. Our minimally invasive removal techniques offer quick relief without the need for hospital admission.
