Steroid Injection in Shoulder & OSTENIL® Hyaluronic Acid for Knee Joint Pain
For over 30 years, injection therapy has been trusted to ease shoulder pain and restore comfort. Backed by medical and scientific research, corticosteroid injections are widely trusted for providing relief and improving mobility in patients with shoulder conditions.
We understand that managing pain and inflammation can be a challenging journey, and that’s why we offer state-of-the-art Steroid Injection Therapy to help you reclaim your comfort and mobility. Whether it’s hyaluronic acid injections for knee joint or a steroid injection in shoulder, hip, elbow, foot, ankle, sacroiliac joint, hand joints, or wrist, Flexcare provides trusted joint pain treatments in Lincoln and across the UK.
Our clinicians are proud to offer Injection Therapy Services at FlexCare Injury Clinic, based in Lincoln. Primarily, injection Therapy is used to help reduce joint and musculoskeletal soft tissue pain and stiffness, as well as manage inflammation. Our injections are administered by HCPC-registered physiotherapists, who are skilled in administering injections for joint and soft tissue, and are designed to complement your broader treatment plan. For pain relief, the majority of injections include steroid injections, but depending on the condition of the patient, we also use Hyaluronic Acid Injection.
Type of Injections
Pain-Targeted Therapy
Steroid Injection (Corticosteroid Injection)
Cortisone is a type of steroid called a corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are available in topical, oral, injectable or inhalational form to treat conditions like asthma, rashes, and Rheumatic diseases. To treat arthritis, frozen shoulder, tendonitis, subacromial bursitis, and other musculoskeletal conditions, steroid injections are highly effective.
Joint Lubrication Therapy
OSTENIL® Hyaluronic Acid Injection (Knee Gel Injection / Viscosupplementation)
Hyaluronic acid is commonly used in injections for knee joint pain. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a viscous substance naturally available in many of the body’s tissues, specifically in the skin, joints, and eyes. When a gel-like substance is injected into the knee, it reduces pain and muscle stiffness, relieves the arthritis in the knee joints and improves shock absorption.

What is Steroid Injection Therapy?
Steroid injections are a targeted and potent form of treatment designed to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain in specific areas of the body. Administered by our skilled medical professionals, these injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected area, providing rapid pain relief (swelling, redness, and heat) and promoting healing.
However, Steroid Injection Therapy does not cure the root cause of your joint pain, but it can still bring relief. Injection therapy is often used in conjunction with other treatments such as physiotherapy and medication. At FlexCare Injury Clinic, steroid injections can make it easier for you to cope with pain during your treatment.
How can a Steroid Injection in Shoulder Help with Inflammation?
Steroid joint injections work against the substances causing the Myositis. Steroid injection in shoulder is administered directly into a swollen or painful joint or the surrounding soft tissue to target inflammation and discomfort. Around the rotator cuff, these injections help relieve pressure, reduce pain, support rehabilitation, and restore muscle function. However, steroids (Such as Cortisone), when injected, break down tissue and may lead to both positive outcomes and potential side effects.
Additionally, steroid injection in shoulder can serve a diagnostic purpose. For instance, if you experience pain relief after the injection, it means the pain was caused by the structure being injected. However, if the pain persists, it suggests that the injected structure is uncertainly to be the source of the pain. Hence, it helps the clinicians establish a preliminary diagnosis based on the patient’s response.
This is why, at FlexCare Injury Clinic in the UK, our pain management consultants carefully assess each patient’s condition, struggling with joint pain, to ensure safe and effective treatment. Book an appointment for Steroid Injection in shoulder in Lincoln today.
How do HA injections work?
What is OSTENIL® Hyaluronic Acid Injection Therapy?
Hyaluronic acid injections act like a cushion inside the joint, helping reduce friction and protect the cartilage. Specifically, OSTENIL® Hyaluronic Acid injection therapy is beneficial for people with chronic degenerative joint disease, encompassing osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint and the acromioclavicular joint. Moreover, HA injection therapy is helpful for people with reduced natural hyaluronic acid levels. In cases of mild to moderate osteoarthritis, it eases the movement and reduces knee pain.
However, OSTENIL® Hyaluronic Acid Injection therapy results may take from 6 to 12 months for visible results and pain relief. The patient may experience side effects, including tenderness, swelling, or pain at the injection site. Whereas, for patients who don’t respond well to steroid injection therapy or other conventional treatments, hyaluronic acid injections can offer a promising alternative for long-term joint pain relief.

How do Hyaluronic Injections for Knee Joint or Hip Help?
Over the years, a diverse range of pain treatments has included non-invasive options (such as pain medications, physiotherapy, joint injections, and orthotics) to surgical methods. Within this span of treatments, Injection therapy in Lincoln has gained popularity as a non-surgical approach for the restoration of HA, also known as intra-articular injection therapy.
Hyaluronic injections for knee joint work as a cushion by blocking the pain signals and lubricating the injected site. Ultimately, it reduces friction, prevents fibre stickiness, and increases recovery. Clinicians at Flexcare Injury Clinic carefully administer hyaluronic acid injections for knees and hips to provide pain relief following a thorough diagnosis.
You may have 3-5 shots of injections for knee joint, depending on the diagnosis, each given about a week apart. However, avoid jogging or lifting heavy objects for two days after treatment.
At FlexCare, we offer same-day appointments for hyaluronic acid injections for knee joint pain in Lincoln. Alternatively, you can call us on
