At iPS, we offer injections to address various soft tissue, tendon, ligament, and joint pain conditions. These injections are administered by skilled and experienced physiotherapists using ultrasound guidance, enhancing both precision and effectiveness in treatment delivery.
An Ultrasound-Guided Injection is an injection that is performed using an ultrasound scanner to locate the exact area where the injection is required. This is regarded as the gold standard method of performing injections.
When considering where to seek treatment, iPS stands out for several compelling reasons. Firstly, we offer expert treatment at affordable prices, ensuring high-quality care accessible to all. At iPS, convenience is paramount - during your initial visit, we can swiftly prescribe cortisone and administer injections under ultrasound guidance without the need for a GP referral. Additionally, we prioritize your time by frequently accommodating same-day appointments. Our fees encompass a comprehensive clinical examination conducted by experienced physiotherapists, guaranteeing thorough assessment and personalized care. Furthermore, our commitment extends beyond the injection itself; we provide expert advice on post-injection rehabilitation as an inclusive part of our service, ensuring holistic recovery support for our patients.
Compared to the unguided injections offered by most GP Surgeries, there is a growing body of research that demonstrates why ultrasound-guided injections are the gold standard in injections. Due to the many benefits, we use Ultrasound Guidance for all of our injections.
Improved Accuracy
Less painful injection procedure
Reduced post-injection soreness
More consistent outcome
Improved level and duration of pain relief
Reduced risk of trauma to nerves and blood vessels
Increased range of injections possible: some injections are not safe to attempt or very inaccurate without ultrasound guidance e.g. shoulder joint, hip joint, high volume tendon stripping, Hydrodilatation for frozen shoulder
You do not require a GP referral. In general, it will be possible for you to have an injection at your initial visit. If Gareth feels that your injury/condition or general medical condition requires you to speak to your GP or have further investigations prior to having an injection, he will advise you of this.
An 'Unguided Injection' is also known as 'landmark guided injection' or 'blind injection'. It involves palpating bones and soft tissues to guide needle insertion. This has obvious safety and accuracy limitations, so there are few circumstances when we would recommend this.
Yes - It is possible to have 2 or more Ultrasound-Guided injections at the same consultation.
