If you’re looking for fast relief from joint or tendon pain, private steroid injections (also called cortisone injections or steroid shots) are a safe and effective treatment. They’re commonly used for the knee, shoulder, hip, wrist, and other joints affected by arthritis or inflammation.
We offer expert-administered steroid injections at competitive prices performed by experienced doctors with full aftercare advice included.
What Is a Steroid (Cortisone) Injection?
A steroid injection delivers anti-inflammatory medicine (usually corticosteroid) directly into the joint or soft tissue. It quickly reduces swelling, stiffness and pain often providing weeks or months of relief.
- Targets inflammation directly at the source
- Relieves joint pain and improves movement
- Performed safely in a short clinic appointment
In medical terms, a “cortisone shot” and a “steroid injection” mean the same thing. They both contain corticosteroid medication to calm inflammation.
How Much Does a Private Steroid Injection Cost in the UK?
Prices for private cortisone injections vary across the country depending on the clinic and whether ultrasound guidance is included. On average, private steroid injection cost ranges between £150 and £350 per joint.
