Therapeutic Injections for Pain ManagementAt Physioimpulse we provide therapeutic injections in conjunction with Physiotherapy treatment to optimise recovery from injury and reduce pain in degenerative conditions such as Osteoarthritis. Injection therapy can benefit the following conditions:
Injections are performed by our Clinical Specialist Physiotherapist Matt Shepherd who has undertaken extensive Post Graduate training in order to carry out injections at our Bath Physiotherapy Clinics. We offer two different types of injections: Ostenil injectionsWhat is Ostenil®?
Ostenil® is a treatment for the symptoms of osteoarthritis and other joint and tendon pain. It can be used in the knee, shoulder or in any of the other joints in the body that are classified as ‘synovial’. Despite supporting scientific evidence it is not commonly used within the NHS due to its cost but has been used privately and within sports medicine for many years with great effect. It has similar benefits to corticosteroid injections but with less side effects. How does it work? Ostenil® is a solution containing hyaluronic acid (your joint's natural lubricator). It is injected into the space in the joint that contains synovial fluid and works by restoring the normal balance between the breakdown and production of hyaluronic acid. This effect of Ostenil® means that it can decrease pain and stiffness and improve the other symptoms of osteoarthritis. It can also be used for Frozen shoulder and shoulder impingement to reduce pain and aid rehabilitation. What can I expect if I decide to have treatment with Ostenil®? If you decide to have treatment with Ostenil®, it will be injected directly into the joint affected by osteoarthritis. It may take a number of days to take effect but then symptoms can improve for up to 9 Months. Once the effects of the first injection wears off, you can, if you choose, have another. Are there any side effects? The hyaluronic acid in Ostenil® is very pure and is manufactured using a process called fermentation. It contains no animal proteins, which means that it is very unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. Ostenil® has been given to thousands of patients and has not been found to cause any serious side effects.

Corticosteroid Injections
Local steroid injections can be a rapid and effective treatment for joint pain and inflammation, although unlike Ostenil Injections the improvement is usually temporary. They can be used alongside conventional physiotherapy treatment to help resolve musculoskeletal conditions. Corticosteroid injections have been found to have a detrimental effect on joint cartilage and tendons so at Physioimpulse we prefer to use Ostenil as it has no known side effects.
Corticosteroid is a prescription medication so although we can carry out these injections in clinic you would need to obtain the medication from you GP via a private prescription.
