Typical examples of where injection therapy can benefit include osteoarthritis, tendonitis, capsulitis and bursitis. These inflammatory conditions can affect any area of the body; common examples include shoulders, elbows, hips, knees and ankle joints. The big toes and thumb joints can also cause significant inflammatory pain.

Ostenil

Ostenil is an injection of Hyaluronic acid. When joints are suffering with degenerative changes the lubrication within the joint can also become affected. Ostenil Plus is a brand of Hyaluronic acid that has been trailed in many studies and has been found to benefit the long term maintenance of degenerating joints.

These injections cost £290 when combined with a clinical examination, ultrasound enhanced diagnosis and guided placement of the injection to ensure safe needle placement.
