Not all patients will be suitable for a steroid injection. Therefore we will first assess your medical questionnaire and suitability for free. Once this has been assessed, if a steroid injection
remains a possible option for you, we will then book you in for a face to face assessment for further assessment at a cost of £50. Following the assessment we will then discuss whether an injection remains a suitable option or if alternative treatment may be indicated. If an injection is indicated, the cost is £75 per injection. We also strongly advise having a follow up appointment to ensure that your symptoms have responded appropriately and to discuss the next steps to optimise your outcome.
Are they painful?
We are experienced in providing the injection in a comfortable manner and it is not uncommon to hear our patients say 'was that it?'.
