Corticosteroid injections are a widely used and effective treatment to reduce joint pain and swelling caused by arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, and other inflammatory conditions. Medication is injected directly into the joint or surrounding soft tissues to help ease discomfort and improve mobility.

A trained physiotherapist or doctor administers corticosteroid medication—such as triamcinolone or methylprednisolone—into the joint or nearby soft tissue. The injection is often combined with a local anaesthetic for immediate relief.
Most patients feel improvement within 24 to 72 hours.
Relief can last several weeks to months.
Effectiveness varies based on the condition and joint treated.
Temporary soreness or a mild pain flare is possible. Infection is rare but can occur. Repeated injections should be spaced appropriately to avoid joint damage.
Light activity can usually resume within a day. Avoid strenuous or high-impact activities for 7–10 days post-injection.
Corticosteroid injections can be a valuable part of a broader treatment plan, often combined with physiotherapy and lifestyle modifications.
