Steroid Injections
What Are Steroid Injections?
Steroid injections are a type of treatment that involves the administration of corticosteroids directly into an affected area of the body to relieve inflammation, pain, and swelling. These injections are commonly used to treat conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, and other inflammatory joint or soft tissue disorders.
At Insta GP, our experienced GPs offer steroid injections to help manage your pain and improve your mobility. This treatment is typically quick, minimally invasive, and highly effective for those suffering from persistent pain and inflammation.
