Experience targeted relief from hip pain with our ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection, precisely administered for conditions like osteoarthritis, bursitis, and impingement syndrome.
Persistent hip pain can severely impact your mobility and quality of life, making simple activities a struggle. Our ultrasound-guided hip injection offers a precise and effective solution, targeting the source of your discomfort to help you regain movement and comfort. Located at 29 Weymouth Street, Marylebone, our clinic provides same-day diagnostic ultrasound with written reports.
An ultrasound-guided hip injection involves the precise delivery of corticosteroid medication directly into the hip joint or surrounding soft tissues. Utilising real-time ultrasound imaging ensures accurate needle placement, optimising therapeutic effect and minimising discomfort.
Your specialist will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and perform a physical examination to determine suitability for the injection.
Using real-time ultrasound, the exact injection site within the hip joint or surrounding tissues is identified for optimal precision.
A local anaesthetic is administered to numb the skin and deeper tissues, ensuring your comfort during the procedure.
The corticosteroid medication is then carefully injected into the targeted area under continuous ultrasound guidance.
You'll receive clear instructions on post-injection care and what to expect in the coming days, including activity modification.
Relief from a hip injection can vary, with some patients feeling improvement within a few days, while for others it may take up to two weeks. The full benefits typically last for several weeks to months, depending on the condition being treated.
Our HCPC-registered sonographers are available Monday to Saturday. Results discussed immediately, written report within 24 hours.
