Targeted Hyaluronidase Injection in London

A hyaluronidase injection for back pain is an injection to break down scar tissue spine. It improves the spread and effectiveness of other injected medications by dissolving adhesions.

It is considered when standard epidural injections have not provided relief. This hyaluronidase for failed epidural injection is used alongside steroid and local anaesthetic injections.

What To Expect?

Patients with persistent nerve pain despite previous spinal injections benefit most.

This addresses lower back or leg pain caused by nerve entrapment.

The procedure is a day-case procedure performed in a controlled clinical environment. Patients return home shortly afterwards.

Dr Purnajyoti Banerjee performs a hyaluronidase epidural injection, an image-guided injection for precise placement in the epidural space.

Who this treatment is designed for

A hyaluronidase injection helps people with ongoing spinal discomfort that affects daily life and has not responded to basic treatments.

It is particularly appropriate for:

Persistent back stiffness after surgery

Chronic lower back pain with nerve involvement

Pain increased with movement or standing

Difficulty with daily activities due to restrictions

Cases needing to confirm scar tissue as a pain source

It often follows a post-surgical spine scar tissue injection for those with prior operations. After evaluation, Dr Purnajyoti Banerjee customises the plan to fit individual conditions.

What benefits do patients notice

Reduced pain for better daily movement

Easier sitting and standing

Improved spinal flexibility

Less need for ongoing pain relief

Enhanced response to physical therapy

Recovery and risk considerations

Patients rest briefly after the injection and head home the same day. Some feel mild discomfort for a short time. Light activity is fine, but avoid strenuous tasks initially.

Risks are low with expert care.

Temporary soreness

Minor bruising

Brief numbness may occur

Serious issues such as infection are uncommon due to sterile procedures and guidance. Further options, like repeat treatments, can be discussed if needed.
