At PROHEALTH PHYSIO & FITNESS (EP), we specialise in helping you overcome pain and inflammation so you can get back to doing what you love. One of the most effective treatments we offer is corticosteroid injections, also known as cortisone shots, a proven solution for fast Relief for Joint and Muscle Pain.
Whether you’re dealing with arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, or a sports injury, cortisone therapy can reduce inflammation, ease discomfort, and support your recovery journey.
What Are Corticosteroid Injections, and how do they give comfort?
Corticosteroids are anti-inflammatory medications that mimic your body’s natural hormones. When injected directly into an inflamed joint or soft tissue, they help:
- Reduce swelling
- Alleviate pain
- Improve range of motion
These injections are commonly used to treat:
- Osteoarthritis (knee, hip, shoulder)
- Frozen shoulder
- Tennis elbow
- Plantar fasciitis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Bursitis and tendonitis
- Sciatica and spinal inflammation
