Cortisone Injections: Fast, Targeted Relief from Pain and Inflammation

If you’re struggling with persistent joint pain, swelling, or inflammation—Cortisone Injections could be the fast-acting solution you’ve been searching for.

At MyMSK Clinic in Manchester, we offer Cortisone treatments to help you regain comfort and mobility.

Cortisone (a type of steroid medication) is injected directly into the affected joint or soft tissue, where it works quickly to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

It’s a trusted treatment for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, from arthritis and tendonitis to bursitis and joint injuries.

Whether you’re an active individual sidelined by pain, or you’re dealing with a chronic condition affecting your daily life, our expert clinicians are here to help—with personalised care and evidence-based treatment plans.

What Is Cortisone?

Cortisone is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication used to reduce pain, swelling, and irritation in joints and soft tissues.

It’s a type of corticosteroid—different from the steroids used for bodybuilding—and is commonly used by medical professionals to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.

When injected directly into the affected area, Cortisone works by calming the immune response that causes inflammation.

This can result in rapid relief from symptoms and improved mobility, often within just a few days of the procedure.

At MyMSK Clinic in Manchester, we use Cortisone injections as part of a tailored treatment plan to target the source of your pain—whether it’s in your knee, shoulder, hip, spine, or another joint.

Common conditions treated with Cortisone include:

Osteoarthritis

Tendonitis

Bursitis

Frozen shoulder

Tennis or golfer’s elbow

Plantar fasciitis

Joint impingements and more

These injections are minimally invasive, usually take just a few minutes, and can often be performed during your initial visit.

Targeted Relief with Cortisone Injections: Conditions We Treat

Cortisone injections are an effective treatment option for many joint and soft tissue problems.

At MyMSK Clinic, we provide ultrasound-guided cortisone injections to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore movement in specific areas.

Here’s how Cortisone injections can help with different conditions and body parts:

Cortisone injection for Foot Pain

If you’re experiencing pain or inflammation in the foot due to Arthritis, bursitis, or joint overuse, a Cortisone injection in the foot can provide fast-acting relief.

By reducing swelling and soothing inflammation, this treatment helps improve mobility and comfort, especially when walking or standing for long periods.

Issues like Capsulitis, Arthritis, or joint irritation in the toes can be particularly painful and limit daily activity.

A Cortisone injection in the big toe joint (MTP Joint) delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly to the problem area, easing discomfort and supporting a quicker return to normal function with minimal downtime.

Cortisone injection for Painful Shoulder Conditions

Persistent shoulder pain from conditions like Rotator Cuff injuries, Frozen Shoulder, or Bursitis can be significantly reduced with a cortisone injection on the shoulder.

This targeted treatment works by calming inflammation within the joint or surrounding tissues, helping to restore movement and reduce discomfort during everyday activities.

A Shoulder Cortisone injection is commonly used when conservative treatments like rest or physiotherapy aren’t enough.

Whether it’s due to arthritis, impingement, or tendonitis, this injection delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected area, offering relief that supports healing and allows for more effective rehabilitation.

A Cortisone Injection can also help in painful conditions such as Calcific Tendinopathy of the Shoulder when you are in agonising pain

Subacromial bursitis is a common source of shoulder pain, especially during overhead activities.

A cortisone injection in the shoulder bursa helps reduce inflammation and restore smoother, pain-free shoulder movement. It’s a safe and effective option when rest or physiotherapy hasn’t been enough.

Cortisone injection for hip conditions

A Cortisone injection in the hip joint is an effective treatment for reducing joint pain caused by arthritis, labral tears, or general inflammation.

This injection delivers targeted anti-inflammatory medication into the hip joint, helping to alleviate stiffness, improve mobility, and support physical therapy progress.

When hip pain interferes with walking, sleeping, or exercise, a cortisone hip injection can provide much-needed relief.

It’s especially beneficial for patients who are not ready for surgical intervention, offering a minimally invasive solution that reduces swelling and improves function in the affected area.

Tennis elbow cortisone injection

Tennis elbow cortisone injections are commonly used to treat lateral epicondylitis—a condition where repetitive strain or degeneration of the elbow extensor tendons causes pain and inflammation in the outer elbow.

These injections target the affected tendon area, reducing inflammation and allowing the tissues to heal more effectively, often restoring strength and comfort in daily arm movements.

A Cortisone elbow injection can provide fast relief for various elbow conditions, including both tennis and golfer’s elbow.

By reducing inflammation around the irritated tendons or joints, this treatment helps decrease pain, improve function, and support recovery alongside rest or physiotherapy.

Cortisone in other regions of the body

Cortisone ankle injection

An ankle cortisone injection is a highly effective treatment for conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, and ankle joint impingement. It can reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness and help restore mobility and is especially beneficial for those with recurring ankle pain or sports-related injuries.

Cortisone Wrist injection

A Cortisone injection in the wrist is often used to treat conditions like Wrist Arthritis, De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis, or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

It reduces inflammation in the joint or tendon sheaths, helping to relieve pain and restore hand and wrist function.

It’s especially helpful for patients whose wrist pain affects work, sports, or daily tasks.

Cortisone spine injection

Cortisone injections into the spine are used to relieve chronic back pain caused by conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or nerve root irritation. These injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to the epidural space or facet joints, helping to reduce nerve compression, ease discomfort, and improve mobility with minimal downtime.

For neck-related pain that radiates into the shoulders or arms, cervical spine cortisone injections around the affected nerve roots or facet joints offer a targeted approach to inflammation in the upper spinal region.

This treatment can help reduce nerve irritation, improve neck movement, and support recovery from conditions such as cervical radiculopathy or disc bulges

Cortisone injection for hip tendonitis

When hip pain is caused by inflammation of the tendons—such as the gluteus medius tendon or iliopsoas Bursa—a cortisone injection can offer targeted relief.

This treatment helps reduce swelling and irritation around the tendon, allowing patients to return to movement and rehabilitation with significantly less pain.

A cortisone injection into the psoas tendon sheath is especially useful for patients suffering from deep hip or groin pain due to psoas tendonitis or snapping hip syndrome.

Delivered with image guidance for precision, this injection reduces inflammation and discomfort in one of the body’s most important hip flexors.

Cortisone injection for bursa of the hip

Bursitis in the hip, especially around the greater trochanter, can cause persistent lateral hip pain.

A cortisone injection in the bursa hip delivers targeted anti-inflammatory medication to the irritated bursa, reducing pain, swelling, and tenderness—often with noticeable improvement within a few days.

Cortisone injection for Plantar Fasciitis

Heel pain from plantar fasciitis can be intense and long-lasting, especially after periods of rest.

A cortisone injection in the plantar fascia targets the inflamed tissue along the bottom of the foot, reducing pain and allowing patients to return to walking and daily activities more comfortably.

When conservative treatments like stretching, orthotics, or ice fail to provide relief, a plantar fascia cortisone injection offers a direct, fast-acting solution.

It helps reduce inflammation in the thick connective tissue that supports the arch, often delivering noticeable improvement within days.

The Benefits of Cortisone Injections

Cortisone injections are one of the most effective and fast-acting treatments for joint and soft tissue pain and inflammation. At MyMSK Clinic, we use them to help you get back to living life — without the pain.

Experience the benefits for yourself — book your consultation at MyMSK Clinic today.

Here’s why patients choose cortisone injections:

Fast Pain Relief

Most patients begin to feel relief within 24–72 hours of the injection — often after months of discomfort.

Targets Inflammation at the Source

Unlike oral medication, cortisone is delivered directly to the inflamed joint or tissue for maximum impact.

Minimally Invasive & Quick

The procedure takes just minutes, with no need for hospital visits or general anaesthetic.

Long-Lasting Effects

Depending on the condition, relief can last from weeks to several months — giving you time to recover or continue rehab pain-free.

Reduces Need for Stronger Medications

By controlling inflammation locally, cortisone injections can reduce or eliminate the need for long-term use of painkillers or anti-inflammatories.

Supports Physical Therapy & Recovery

Less pain makes it easier to engage in movement, exercise, or physiotherapy — all key to long-term healing.

FAQs

What conditions can cortisone injections treat?

Cortisone injections are commonly used to treat inflammation-related conditions such as Osteoarthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis, tennis/golfer’s elbow, and more. If you’re unsure whether it’s suitable for your condition, book a consultation and we’ll guide you.

How quickly will I feel relief after the injection?

Many patients start to feel pain relief within 24 to 72 hours, although it may take up to a week for full effects to develop.

How long does the pain relief last?

Relief can last from a few weeks to several months, depending on the condition being treated, your overall health, and activity level. In some cases, injections can be repeated if necessary — under medical supervision.

Are cortisone injections safe?

Yes, cortisone injections are generally very safe when administered by trained professionals. At MyMSK Clinic, we use ultrasound guidance to ensure accurate placement and minimise risks. Side effects are rare but may include temporary soreness or skin thinning at the injection site.

How many cortisone injections can I have?

This depends on your specific diagnosis and response to treatment. In most cases, we recommend no more than 3 injections per year in the same area to avoid potential tissue damage. Your clinician will advise you based on clinical best practices.

Will I need time off after the procedure?

Most patients can resume normal daily activities the next day. However, we advise avoiding heavy lifting or high-impact exercise for a short period (usually 48–72 hours) to allow the injection to take full effect.

Do I need a referral from a GP?

No referral is necessary. You can book directly with us, and our musculoskeletal specialists will assess you during your initial consultation.

Is the injection painful?

You may feel a brief pinch or pressure during the injection. We use a local anaesthetic to keep discomfort minimal, and many patients describe it as less painful than expected.

I recently saw Doctir Akhtar at his clinic for persistent shoulder pain. After a thorough scan he diagnosed calcific tendonitis of my right shoulder. Doctor Akhtar took the time to explain the condition to me and the best course of treatment to relieve my pain. I had a cortisone at injection at the clinic and after a week my pain is greatly reduced. I would not hesitate to recommend My MSK and am pleased that I went for my consultation and treatment.

I’ve been working with Dr. Akhtar for a few months now and I’ve nothing but 5 star service. Goes through everything and is very thorough. As a Dr he has a duty of care to his patients and he follows through with that on every appointment. He always put myself first rather than himself and is happy to refer you to certain specialists if the problem needs surgery/ alternative procedures that he doesn’t offer. Would definitely visit again.

After suffering with golfer’s elbow for 7 months and being incorrectly diagnosed on the NHS together with the long waiting times, I visited Doctor Akhtar on a couple of occasions. He was very professional, putting me at ease and together with the guided ultra-scan machine got to the root cause of the problem. The prolotherapy treatment plus a steroid injection was successful and following the recommended rest will be back playing golf soon. I would certainly recommend Dr Akhtar and his MSK clinic 😀👍

Quite franky this service potentially has saved my wife Louise life ! Having gone to see the doctor for the swelling and pain behind the left knee of my wife Louise which we thought may be a bakers cyst. Upon examination it turned out to far more troubesome.This was confirmed in the hospital blood test result of the D-Dimer of 5000 which Louise recieved several hours later from the hospital urgent care centre as Dr Akhtar had written an urgent letter for Louise to take straight after her first consultation.Dr Akhtar is quite clearly not only a very competent professional given his intial diagnosis at the first appointment of Louise of a potential blood clot (dvt)of the left leg of Louise he is also a very considerate & conscientious doctor who quite clearly puts the best interests of his patients above anything else. Thankyou Dr Akhtar you are a credit to yourself and your family and when the blood clot treatment has finished we will be back for further advice and treatment for the original problem.In the meantime we would highly recommend your service. Thanks again from Louise & Paul

Due to the long wait on the NHS and after suffering many weeks of pain I decided to pay private for assessment and steroid injection to my cervical spine.I am so pleased I came across my MSK Burnley. Lovely clinic nice ambiance.Dr Akhtar is a true professional and a credit to his profession.He is very approachable and went through my MRI scan results with me highlighting where the issues are.He fully explained the procedure, gave me time to ask questions he even showed me on a dummy what he was going to do.The procedure was very though and apart and from a mild discomfort from the local injection I did not feel the steroid injection.Unfortunately for me this has not worked but he did say that it might not. He has sent a copy of my report to my GP and myself.Following our conversation this morning he has sent me further details of other treatment options which I will discuss with the surgeon next week.If you are thinking of going private for this type of treatment please look on there website, check out the reviews, you will not be disappointed with the care and treatment you receive.I would have no hesitation in using this clinic again and will certainly be in touch for me or my family if treatments needed in the future.Thank you Dr Akthar and team for your kindness professionalism and expertise.Julie Robinson

Hi.I want to say a big thank you to Mr Akhtar for examining my shoulder where I have experienced pain almost 5 years and onwards. Mr Akhtar did all his checks very thoroughly and got to the bottom of my problem. I have had chiropractors and sport massage treatments for this particular shoulder and nothing had worked. First session I got results where I could reach my back and after treatment I was extremely surprised at how my shoulder felt at ease. I got an appointment the next day on calling and on arrival I was greeted very professionally. Thank you Mr Akhtar I hope to see you again in the future.VERY RECOMMENDED FOR SHOULDER EXAMINATION.Naveed Qureshi.

After three years of suffering hip pain that I had assumed was an exercise injury I was diagnosed with early arthritis of the hip a few months ago. The private hospital where I had the MRI scan and X-ray carried out quoted me £1500 just for the surgery time to administer a cortisone injection. This did not include the consultant's fee or the cost of the injection!After browsing on the internet I came across My MSK clinic and decided to book an appointment with Dr Akhtar. I am so glad I did!Dr Akhtar was very welcoming and the consultation was very thorough. Dr Akhtar explained all the treatment options available (more than were offered at the private hospital) and I opted for cortisone and hyaluronic acid injections which I decided to have there and then. That was 3 months ago. For the first month or so my hip felt a bit achy and niggly but then everything settled down and the end result is brilliant! The stiffness has completely gone (my hip used to crack and pop all the time) and apart from a very occasional mild twinge I am pain-free. I can now exercise and even just walk without being constantly aware of my hip. Most days I don't even give my hip a thought!I would definitely recommend Dr Akhtar. I will certainly return if I need a top-up injection in the future or anything else starts to hurt! I should also add that the cost of my treatment was probably about a quarter to a fifth of what I would have paid at the private hospital.Thank you Dr Akhtar

I recently attended the Clinic and found both Dr. Akhtar and the young man on reception to be kind, considerate and easy to talk to. Dr. Akhtar was helpful and knowledgeable and at no point did I feel “rushed”. In fact it was nice to actually be listened to. The Clinic itself is spotlessly clean with a very calming atmosphere as soon as you walk in. The complimentary coffee was much appreciated after my journey! At no point did I feel anxious I have to say and I would not hesitate to recommend MSK . I will definitely return should the need arise.

I had PRP treatment on my hip recently. I was really impressed with the treatment and how Dr Akhtar communicated the process to me and through the visual cues on the scanner explained exactly what was happening while he was treating my hip. I felt comfortable and confident throughout. A really strong clinical environment at such a reasonable price is a must for anyone needing expert treatment.

Booked a consultation with Dr Akhtar following 18 months of crippling back pain and not getting answers via GP etc. Dr Akhtar was very clear and informative, he explained everything fully and in a way that I could really understand what the issue was. I didn't feel rushed at all during the appointment. Following treatment I had a reduction of pain in the first 48hrs and then have been pain free since then. Pricing was very clear and booking is very convenient via the website. The clinic was spotlessly clean and well furnished to make you feel comfortable. I have already recommended My MSK to a couple of friends I know have shoulder and back issues and I wouldn't hesitate to see Dr Akhtar again myself if the need arose.

Samuel Mousley

15:55 13 Aug 23

I attended the clinic for guided steroid injections in both hips. Dr Akhtar was extremely welcoming and professional and went to great lengths to explain at each stage how he was assessing my condition and approaching the procedure. The procedure was undertaken very smoothly, efficiently and comprehensively. I felt some initial benefit almost at once and over the coming days, it was a definite improvement. He also took time to diagnose some specific artefacts that he found during the ultrasound scan and these were passed on to my Doctor. I will have no hesitation in returning for further treatment as necessary and would recommend him most highly.

It was lovely to meet Dr Akhtar yesterday at his clinic. I had an extremely thorough 45 min consultation with him. He was so attentive and really listened to every detail about my history and symptoms. I would also like to add that he has a very friendly and professional manner.I had spinal injections after my consultation. I was rather nervous about having the injections but was pleasantly surprised how comfortable the whole process was. It's early days post injection, however already I can feel a huge improvement in my symptoms.To anyone considering booking an appointment, my advice is not to hesitate, just go ahead, you won't regret it.
