This is done in a clinic setting in central Norwich, but we are able to offer a service visiting in a patient’s own home for those who have restricted mobility due to their joint pains, Norfolk arthritis, Norwich tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, and plantar fasciitis at minimal additional cost, where coming into the clinic is not possible.
Benefits
Steroid injections act to relieve inflammation in and around joints. By reducing inflammation, they can help reduce pain and increase mobility in the affected joint or tendon. Corticosteroids (as used in medical practice) are very different to anabolic steroids used by body builders, and will not have the same effect on muscle growth!
Steroid injections may also be called cortisone injections, hydrocortisone injections, steroid joint injections, corticosteroid injection, intra- articular injections or extra- articular injections.
Steroid joint injections can rapidly relieve pain and restricted mobility in and around joints. This works by reducing inflamation which would otherwise be causing pain and limiting use of the joint or tendon. Steroid injections may also be called cortisone injections, hydrocortisone injections, corticosteroid injections, intra-articular injections or extra- articular injections, be reassured these are all the same procedure using interchangeable terms.
Delaying treatment can lead to limitation of work and leisure activities as well as decreased quality of life. Delayed treatment will also lead to increased use of pain killers, which often have significant side effects and increasing tolerance needing ever higher doses. There is also some evidence that long term use of strong pain killers can contribute to dementia and falls. Early treatment of joint pains can reduce the need for pain killers, and minimise any strength or mobility loss.

Norfolk Health & Joint Care was founded by Jon Gardner in 2023. Jon has a long background in Nursing, completing his MSc in Advanced Practice in 2012. Since this, he has worked in NHS primary care as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner. Following appropriate training and certification, he has been undertaking joint injections for therapeutic relief for several years within NHS practice for patients with joint pains and tendinopathies. This has shown good results, with significant improvement in daily functioning and reductions in pain. Jon continues to work in NHS care, assessing and treating a wide range of conditions as well as providing therapeutic joint injections for NHS patients.
Joint pains may be caused by inflammation of tendons; such as in plantar fasciitis , tennis or golfers elbow, De Quervains (thumb pain) or trigger finger and rotator cuff problems, to name a few; or from changes in the shape of the bones such as in osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis ; or in other joint swelling such as carpal tunnel syndrome which compresses nerves.
Initial treatment is focussed around pain control with analgesia (pain relief) such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, with stronger pain control for those in whom this is necessary. Physiotherapy will often relieve these symptoms by reducing inflammation of tendons, and improving the muscular support of joints.
Norfolk Health & Joint Care offers affordable, rapid access service for further treatment if these measures fail to minimise distress caused by pain and enable a prompt recovery.
Please Read through further pages for more details on therapies offered, or contact for further advice. Treatments will only be offered after consultation, and only where found clinically indicated and mutually agreed after discussion of risks as well as benefits.

Risks of injections include
Although uncommon, some patients experience an increase in pain lasting from 2-5 days following the injection. Research has shown this to happen in up to 10% of patients. This can typically be managed with rest and cold compress.
This is typically only in the short term, but can lead to a sustained increase in symptoms. This is most commonly seen in carpal tunnel syndrome, although this risk remains less than 0.1%.
is a rare but serious complication. It is to reduce the risks of this that I will advise rest for at least 5-7 days following the procedure, and gradual return to any heavy joint loading following injection.
As with any surgical or medical intervention, there is an increased risk of infection. There is thought to be around a 005%- 0.0002% increased likelihood of septic arthritis. Signs of septic arthritis include a fever, increasingly swollen hot joint and increasing pain. If you find this you should speak to your GP or out of hours clinician for assessment without delay.
This is at site of injection, and can come on in the days or weeks following injection. Although the frequency of occurrences following joint injections is unclear, this is thought to occur in around 0.5% of all cases, and usually spontaneously resolves within one year.
These include feeling flush or faint, allergic reaction, menstrual irregularity, vascular damage, small risk of temporary immunosuppression reducing the immune response against virus & bacteria.
Diabetics may notice a transient rise in their blood glucose in the days following injection and so may need to monitor their levels closely.
This is always a possibility with any medical or surgical intervention. While we see fantastic results, the pains may not resolve, or may return.
Especially if on anticoagulants, which is why I ask for INR to be below 3.0 prior to injection for those on warfarin. Bleeding from the injection site would be stopped before leaving the clinic, but any further bleeding should be stopped with firm pressure for a minute or two and a simple plaster. Haemoarthrosis (bleeding into joint) is found in up to 0.15% of those on blood thinning medication. This risk is lower in patients not taking blood thinning medications.

What You Can Do with carenow
Hayfever injection has honestly been life changing! Will definitely be booking in every year.
Hayfever can be a debilitating condition, caused by allergic reaction to pollens. The time of year this effects depends on the irritating pollens.
Hayfever can cause watering or swollen eyes, coughing or sneezing, runny nose, itchy throat and fatigue.
Hayfever is best managed with oral antihistamines, eye drops and nasal sprays.
Sometimes, these do not manage symptoms. In these cases an injection of steroid to suppress symptoms. This injection will last around three to six months which will generally manage symptoms enough for people to enjoy their summer again!
