What Are Steroid Injections?

Steroid injections, or cortisone shots, are medical treatments designed to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief in specific areas of the body. These injections are not the same as anabolic steroids used by bodybuilders—corticosteroids are purely anti-inflammatory and designed to enhance healing for joint pain and other conditions.

  • Cosmetic surgery focuses on surgical aesthetics to improve the appeal of perfectly functional areas. Procedures are elective and aim to enhance your self-image.
  • Reconstructive surgery, on the other hand, is performed to improve functionality or appearance due to abnormalities, accidents, or medical conditions.

How Do Steroid Injections Work?

When a part of the body becomes inflamed, whether due to chronic disease or injury, it often swells and presses against nerves, causing pain. Steroid injections work by delivering an anti-inflammatory treatment directly into the affected area. Once applied to the right part of the body, these injections can reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and promote a faster recovery. While steroids don’t address the root cause of the condition, they help manage symptoms effectively. In many cases, they provide relief for weeks or even months.

Conditions Treated at a Steroid Injection Clinic

Steroid injection clinics typically offer treatment for a variety of painful conditions. At Kliniken, common issues we address include:

  • Knee Pain—Steroid injections in the knee can significantly reduce inflammation and improve your overall mobility.
  • Tendonitis—Conditions like tennis elbow or inflamed shoulder bursae often respond well to cortisone shots.
  • Back Pain—Steroid injections for back pain may help reduce nerve-related discomfort.
  • Plantar Fasciitis—Steroid injections can be effective in reducing the inflammation that causes foot pain.
  • Skin Conditions—Occasionally, steroid injections may be used to calm severe skin inflammation and alleviate conditions like psoriasis and eczema.

What to Expect During the Procedure

  • If you’re concerned about undergoing a knee steroid injection, knowing what happens during the procedure can put your mind at ease. The team at Kliniken is always here to answer your questions along the way. While every patient is different, the general process looks like this:

    • Consultation—First, we’ll sit down to discuss your medical history, current symptoms, and the reasons for considering steroid injections. We may then recommend further evaluations to better understand your condition.
    • Preparation—If you are a good candidate for steroid injections, we will clean the target area and get you in a comfortable position for the procedure. In some cases, we may use a local anaesthetic to numb the area.
    • Injection—Once you’re ready to begin, we will use a thin needle to inject a corticosteroid directly into the affected area. While some patients report mild pressure during the procedure, discomfort is usually brief. The entire process typically takes just 15 to 30 minutes.
    • Patient-Centred Experience – Every step of your journey is tailored to your needs, from consultation to recovery.
    • Exclusive Treatments – We offer techniques and procedures not available nationally.
    • Independent Expertise – Operating as an independent healthcare centre allows us the freedom to prioritise you, not external pressures.
    • Cutting-Edge Care – Access the latest treatments and technology for optimal results.

Potential Risks and Side Effects of Steroid Injections

While steroid injections are generally safe, they do come with potential risks and side effects. The most common side effects include swelling at the injection site, skin discolouration, and increased blood sugar levels. Less common risks include injection, tendon weakness, and joint damage. When you consult with us at Kliniken, we will discuss your needs in detail and create a plan that minimises adverse steroid injection reactions.

Steroid Injection Recovery and Aftercare Tips

Steroid injections aren’t a minor surgery, and most people can resume their normal activities the day after the injection. However, it’s good practice to follow these tips for streamlining recovery:

  • Rest for at least 24 hours and avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity.
  • If you notice swelling or soreness at the injection site, apply ice or cold compressionto relieve some inflammation.
  • Monitor yourself for side effects such as prolonged pain or fever. Get in touch with us right away if you notice any concerning reactions.
