Fantastic treatment, can't recommend them enough. Tom helped with my various aches and joint pain from running and also gave me so much advice for my upcoming half marathon. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and very accommodating- helping to sort last minute appointments and change/alter when needed. I have seen a few different chiropractors at the clinic and they have all been very knowledgeable and explained everything so clearly. Tom particularly has been great and got me back out running pain-free.

I had one appointment with Jamie after suffering tremendous pain and he totally relieved the pain, allowing me to carry on with my life as normally as possible with my ongoing back weakness. I would highly recommend him to anyone and would totally trust him to help me again in the future.

Tom has been great right from the start. From listening to me and everything I had to tell him in our first meeting. Taking me and my previous (less good) experience with chiropractors into account and seriously considering why I was there. He helped me, that first time and has done for the number of sessions I've had since. He answers all my nerdy, analytical questions and adapts to me as I need him to. He's also not a snake oil salesman, talking himself out of the possibility of a job within the first month if I found I no longer needed him. None of this "oh, look, another problem I'll need to see you for" malarkey. Tom has been honest and so helpful every time. The reception staff at Skelian are lovely, the atmosphere is nice, and whilst not cheap I have never felt swindled. Only understood, because back pain is a universal suffering we can all sympathise with. Couldn't recommend them and Tom more. And I'll soon be in maintenance, somewhere I never thought I'd get to when all this started in February.

Treatment here took all of my back pain in some appointments. Tom was excellent professional and now I feel safe that whenever I have the same problem I have someone to rely on .

I have been seeing Jamie for the last couple of months, and absolutely can’t recommend him enough. I love his holistic approach and looking at the bigger picture to try and piece together the reasons why my neck and hips are so painful. I always feel anxious when having to go to someone different when it comes to my health, but Jamie is so kind, friendly and understanding of people and how they are feeling. We have had some great results so far with my treatment and feel we are making some headway with all my aches and pains. If you are feeling nervous and not sure what to expect, Jamie is the guy for you.

I recently had a sports massage with Brad, due to extended periods of computer use, I suffer with neck and shoulder tension. Brad was able to work out all the knots in my back and shoulders. I have definitively felt the benefits ever since.

Steroid Injection

Corticosteroid is a naturally occurring hormone within the body. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory and is very effective at reducing the pain of inflamed areas.

Corticosteroid injections 

Corticosteroid or steroid injections are used when there is chronic inflammation within a joint and it is not settling within normal time limits, typically 8-12 weeks.

Corticosteroid is a naturally occurring hormone within the body. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory and is very effective at reducing the pain of inflamed areas.

Some people associate corticosteroids with only short-term relief, there is some truth in this, however when used correctly in small doses they often provide long-term solutions for many conditions.

Conditions that respond well to Steroid injections

  • Frozen Shoulder
  • Wrist Pain
  • Morton’s Neuroma
  • Rotator Cuff Pain
  • Joint Pain

Please note, we do not offer spinal injections. We have an excellent team of chiropractors that can help assist with any back or spinal problems. 

What we offer 

At Skelian we offer Ultrasound guided steroid injections as part of our specialist physiotherapist services. 

We use Ultrasound guided injections because research has shown significantly better outcomes. Using guided rather than unguided ensures  you can target the specific injury.

Jonathan Wride is our specialist physiotherapist. He carries out the steroid injections Jonathan  has extensive knowledge and experience so you are in safe hands.

Benefits of steroid injections

  • Ultrasound guided for dependable accuracy  
  • Reduce Pain
  • Reduce Inflammation
  • Improve movement
  • Follow up and after care services available
  • More affordable compared to when performed in a private hospital

 What to expect

A steroid injection is a treatment that is typically used when hands on treatment or exercise therapies have not helped your condition yet. 

Usually diagnostic imaging ultrasound scans, x-rays or MRIs are used to confirm your diagnosis. This is done before your steroid injection appointment. 

During your first visit to make sure you’re getting the right treatment, Jonathan will talk through your detailed medical history and assess your problem. Once Jonathan is happy that you are in the right place, he will talk you through how the procedure works before performing it.

Included in Steroid injection session:

  • Explanation of your diagnosis/condition
  • Explanation of how the treatment works and what to expect
  • Corticosteroid injection delivered under ultrasound guidance for total accuracy

Steroid Injection Fees

Ultrasound Guided Steroid Injection – £185
