Ultrasound-Guided Injections

Trying to get pain relief from the healthcare system can be time-consuming and, at times, daunting. At ALC, we make it quick and convenient for you to get the ultrasound scans and the ultrasound-guided injections you need for pain relief. Our services include corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid injections for various musculoskeletal conditions, all at an affordable price and all in a single ‘one stop’ appointment.

Please note that we do not inject the spine (cervical, thoracic, rib, lumbar, and sacroiliac joints).

Ultrasound technology harnesses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate the body’s tissues, providing a clear image of its anatomy. This imaging technique is crucial in diagnostic assessments before injections, ensuring precision and effectiveness.

When giving injections, ultrasound waves bounce off the needle, allowing for clear visualisation of the needle tip and accurate guidance to the intended site. This ultrasound guidance can be used for specialised procedures, such as joint aspiration, barbotage, and hydrodistension, thereby improving the accuracy and safety of medical interventions.

Research strongly supports using ultrasound-guided injections for superior pain relief, longer-lasting effects, and improved functionality compared to injections without ultrasound guidance.

This approach:

Injections are administered by Wincent Anthony, our consultant Musculoskeletal Sonographer, who has received extensive training in the clinical use of diagnostic ultrasound. He is also qualified to independently prescribe medications, so a referral from your GP is unnecessary.

Our one-stop-shop ultrasound-guided injection service offers patients the convenience of scheduling a single consultation for a comprehensive package, including a physical assessment, diagnostic ultrasound, and ultrasound-guided injection during the same visit. This innovative and specialised service enhances patient access to pain relief treatments, streamlines their experience, and upholds top-tier care standards.

Prices for Ultrasound-Guided Injections start at just £310 for corticosteroid and hyaluronic injections.

A full assessment, including ultrasound scans but excluding injections, is £210.
