Corticosteroid Injections
Corticosteroids act like natural steroids to reduce inflammation in an affected area or joint , injections have been used for many years as a quick and effective treatment for soft tissue conditions, joint pain, and inflammation. The effects are usually short lasting, up to 3 months, but can give a window of opportunity to engage with rehabilitation and a home exercise program for longer lasting benefits.
Steroid injections are often recommended for people with painful conditions such as acute flare up of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, frozen shoulder, tendinitis and carpel tunnel syndrome. The injections are used to reduce inflammation and can also reduce joint swelling and pain which will aid mobility and function of the joint and surrounding soft tissues for a period of time.
Viscosupplementation Injections
This cutting-edge treatment for joint pain, particularly in large joints such as the knees, shoulder and ankle is available in our Darlington Clinic. We use hyaluronic acid injections to lubricate joints, reduce pain, and improve movement.

Ostenil Plus Injections
Ostenil can help with a reduction in pain and improvement in function of any given peripheral synovial joint, such as the Knee, Shoulder, ankle, and smaller joints such as the wrist fingers and toes.
Ostenil Plus is a solution containing hyaluronic acid developed specifically for the treatment of osteoarthritis. It can be injected into the knee, or any of the other synovial joints in the body to decrease pain and stiffness and improve the other symptoms of osteoarthritis.
It contains a higher concentration of sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) than standard Ostenil, plus mannitol. This medication is injected into the space between the joint that contains synovial fluid and works to restore the balance between the breakdown and production of hyaluronic acid. This effect means Ostenil Plus can help decrease pain and stiffness of the joint.
Ostenil Plus should be injected directly into the joint(s) affected by osteoarthritis by a fully qualified clinician. It is unlikely you will notice any benefits straight away, but you should gradually begin to feel a reduction in pain and stiffness over the following few weeks, which is likely to continue for several months.
