Tendonitis Injection Treatment in London

Home / Services / Injections / Tendonitis Injection

Tendonitis involves inflammation or degeneration of a tendon, causing pain and stiffness. It leads to pain worsened by movement, loading, or repetitive activity.

Tendonitis injection offers targeted relief for these issues. It commonly affects the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and ankle, including conditions such as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and rotator cuff tendonitis.

Dr Purnajyoti Banerjee provides expert care with precise diagnosis and effective treatment. This approach is used when rest, physiotherapy, and activity modification have failed, and focuses on a safe, rapid recovery.

Targeted Tendonitis Injection in London

A tendon injection uses a local anaesthetic and corticosteroid injection to reduce swelling and ease discomfort. A steroid injection for tendonitis targets the irritated area directly.

Ultrasound-guided tendon injection provides ultrasound guidance to ensure accurate placement around the tendon. This tendon inflammation injection helps when other measures fall short.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is a tendonitis injection recommended?

A tendonitis injection is considered when persistent tendon pain continues despite rest, physiotherapy, and medication. It targets inflammation directly when conservative treatment has plateaued.

Which tendon conditions respond best to injection therapy?

Common problems include tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, rotator cuff tendonitis, and Achilles irritation, in which local inflammation drives ongoing pain.

How accurate is the injection placement?

The procedure is performed using image guidance to deliver medication precisely around the affected tendon, improving safety and effectiveness.

How quickly can normal activity resume?

This is a day-case procedure. Most patients return to light activity the same day, with structured rehabilitation supporting recovery.

Can a single injection be enough?

Many patients achieve meaningful relief with a single treatment. Ongoing review determines whether further care or rehabilitation is needed to maintain results.
