Ultrasound Guided Steroid Injections in Chelmsford, Essex



Chelmsford Physio provide fast, easy and efficient access to ultrasound guided injections for pain relief.

We offer corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid and platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections for a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions at an affordable price.

We recognise the difficulties and the unnecessarily complicated journey patients are often asked to take in order to access pain relieving injections. We also recognise that fast access to pain relief can shorten treatment times and quickly help people back onto the path for recovery.

Chelmsford Physio have developed a unique service directly tailored around the wants and needs of our patients. A one-stop shop, fast, efficient and safe service for patients to obtain pain relieving injections for a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions.

Chelmsford Physio has a specialised team of clinicians who have undertaken extensive training to provide this service. Our clinical specialists have trained as musculoskeletal sonographers (the clinical use of diagnostic ultrasound). They have also completed extensive training to be qualified to prescribe mediations independently which means we do not require a referral from your GP.

This allows for our unique one-stop shop ultrasound guided injection service, whereby patients are able to book to attend a single consultation and received a physical assessment, diagnostic ultrasound and ultrasound guided injection all in the same visit. This is a highly specialist and innovative service that has been specifically designed to improve patient’s easy access to pain relieving injections while simplifying patient’s journey and maintaining a first class level of care.

There is a significant body of research which demonstrates that ultrasound guided injections give better levels of pain relief, of longer last effects and improve the functionality compared with injection that are done without ultrasound guidance (blind or surface marked injections). There is also evidence that it reduces the risk of trauma or misplacement of the needle and injection substance, therefore improving the safety of the injection whilst reducing the risks of adverse events associated with injection therapy.
