Injection Treatments Available
Our experienced clinicians provide a range of guided injection therapies designed to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and support recovery from musculoskeletal conditions. Following a thorough assessment, we recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your symptoms and diagnosis.
Steroid Injections
Steroid injections help reduce inflammation and relieve pain in joints, tendons, bursae, and surrounding soft tissues. They can improve mobility and make rehabilitation exercises more comfortable by easing pain and swelling.
Genicular Nerve Block
A targeted injection used to relieve persistent knee pain, particularly in people with knee osteoarthritis. By blocking pain signals from the nerves around the knee, this treatment can improve daily function and comfort.
Suprascapular Nerve Block
This injection is commonly used to reduce chronic shoulder pain by targeting the nerves supplying the shoulder joint. It can help improve movement and support physiotherapy rehabilitation.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP therapy uses a concentrated sample of your own blood to stimulate the body's natural healing response. It is frequently used for tendon injuries and soft tissue conditions and is a regenerative treatment rather than a steroid injection.
Arthrosamid® Injection 
Arthrosamid® is an advanced injectable treatment for knee osteoarthritis, designed to provide long-lasting pain relief and improved joint function. The procedure is performed by a clinician specifically trained and insured to administer Arthrosamid®.
Hydrodistension for Frozen Shoulder
Hydrodistension is an effective treatment for adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder). The procedure gently stretches the joint capsule to reduce stiffness, improve range of motion, and is typically combined with physiotherapy for optimal recovery.
High-Volume Injection Therapy
High-volume injections are commonly used for Achilles tendinopathy and patellar tendon pain that has not responded to conservative treatment. The procedure aims to reduce pain and improve tendon function.
Carpal Tunnel Hydrodistension
This ultrasound-guided technique helps reduce pressure around the median nerve, providing relief from symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.

Important Information
Injection therapy may need to be postponed if you are unwell or have an active infection to ensure the treatment is safe and effective.
We do not perform injections directly into the spine, as these require specialist hospital-based care.
Before your procedure, your clinician will explain the treatment in detail, discuss the expected benefits and potential risks, answer any questions, and provide clear guidance on aftercare and recovery.
Our Approach at Xcel Health
We start with a detailed assessment to understand your condition. Injection therapy is used only when clinically appropriate.
Your treatment is combined with physiotherapy and rehab, ensuring long-term recovery not just short-term relief.

Testimonials
Xcel Health is quick and easy to book and I received a thorough investigation and diagnosis. After treatment I achieved a great result. Would highly recommend Mr Xavier Rajarathnam.
A friendly, professional and clean practice. This was my first visit and Harsh Modi was very helpful and informative. He showed the utmost professionalism, care and consideration throughout.
I firmly believe regular maintenance appointments have helped to keep me fit and healthy, I always feel so much better after my visits, improving my back and hip flexibility. Why shouldn't we maintain our bodies as we would our car!
I was weary going through physio again as I had it years ago and didn’t help much but Palak has been brilliant so far and even tries to help keep my 1 year old occupied, lovely lady to be working with.
