There are certain common conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, frozen shoulder and carpal tunnel syndrome where a local or intra-articular injection can be an effective form of treatment. Typically this involves the use of a steroid and a local anaesthetic. Other possible therapeutic options include hyaluronic acid and PRP.
In Drumkeeran we have doctors who have undergone additional training in this area. If this is something you feel may benefit you please make an appointment to discuss it further. Please note that there may be circumstances where such an injection is not appropriate in a particular case.
