Injection Services

Steroid injections and Hyaluronic Acid injections can be helpful in decreasing pain and inflammation for many different conditions. They are often used with other forms of treatment, such as exercise, physiotherapy, activity modification or the use of splints and supports. In these instances, the injections can offer a window of opportunity to progress with rehabilitation, restore movement and strengthen surrounding muscles.

We use the leading market Hyaluronic acid product called Durolane®. This fantastic product has been proven to be more effective and lasts longer than any other Hyaluronic acid product on the market.
