WheelHouse Health guide to joint injections and minor procedures in primary care

Joint injections

Steroid injections can reduce inflammation and pain in joints such as the knee and shoulder, especially with osteoarthritis or bursitis. They are not a cure and are usually limited to a few times a year per joint. We discuss alternatives and longer-term options, including regenerative and joint care.

Minor procedures

What to expect

  1. A consultation to confirm the diagnosis and discuss options.
  2. A clear explanation of benefits, risks and costs.
  3. The procedure, usually quick, often with numbing.
  4. Aftercare instructions and a follow-up plan.
