Frequently Asked Questions

What is a joint injection clinic?
A joint injection clinic diagnoses joint, tendon and nerve pain and treats it with targeted injections. At Joint Pain Clinics, every injection is guided by ultrasound so the medication reaches exactly the right spot.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly online, by phone on 0333 041 9898 or by email.
How much does a joint injection cost?
A consultation is £150. Steroid (cortisone) injections are £300, hyaluronic acid injections start at £375, and Arthrosamid® knee injections start at £2,300. See our full price list.
Can I have a scan and injection on the same day?
Yes. Most patients have their consultation, ultrasound scan and injection in one appointment, if treatment is suitable.
What conditions do you treat?
We treat arthritis, frozen shoulder, bursitis, rotator cuff injuries, tennis and golfer's elbow, plantar fasciitis, Achilles pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger and many other joint, tendon and sports injuries.
Do joint injections hurt?
Most patients find them quick and far more comfortable than expected. Ultrasound guidance means the needle is placed accurately, first time.
Where are your clinics?
We have clinics in Birmingham (Harborne and the Jewellery Quarter), Telford, and Gloucester, serving Cheltenham and Gloucestershire.
