Foot Injections
At Abbeyhill Footcare, we offer injection treatments to help manage pain and improve movement in suitable foot and ankle conditions.
Before recommending an injection, we'll carry out a thorough assessment to understand the cause of your symptoms and make sure it's the right option for you.
Types of injections we offer
Steroid Injections
Steroid injections can help reduce pain and inflammation caused by certain foot and ankle conditions. They may be recommended when treatments such as exercises, footwear changes or self-care haven't provided enough relief.
Ostenil Injections
Ostenil injections may help reduce pain and stiffness caused by arthritis in the foot. They work by improving joint lubrication, helping movement feel more comfortable.
