Injection therapy is an advanced, non-surgical solution for managing pain and inflammation in joints, tendons, and soft tissues. At Great Northern Physiotherapy, we use cutting-edge technology, including ultrasound-guided techniques, to deliver precise and effective treatments tailored to your needs. Our goal is to provide long-lasting relief, improve function, and support your recovery journey with safe, evidence-based care.
Durolane: Advanced Joint Pain Relief with Hyaluronic Acid Injection
Durolane injections provide lasting relief for osteoarthritis and joint pain using stabilised hyaluronic acid (HA). This natural lubricant reduces friction in joints, alleviates pain, and enhances mobility. Ideal for early to moderate osteoarthritis, Durolane injections are delivered under ultrasound guidance to ensure precision and maximise benefits.
Durolane can provide pain relief for up to six months or longer.
Most patients require a repeat injection every 6-9 months though this varies from patient to patient.
The procedure is minimally painful, with most patients reporting little discomfort.
Ostenil Plus: Enhanced Viscosupplementation for Osteoarthritis
Ostenil Plus restores the natural lubrication of your joint’s synovial fluid, offering effective pain relief and improved mobility. This injection, enriched with sodium hyaluronate and mannitol, slows the progression of osteoarthritis symptoms and is particularly suitable for mild to moderate cases.
Many patients notice improvement within a few days but most benefits are felt around six weeks after the injection.
Usually, a single injection is sufficient for several months of relief.
Side effects are rare but may include mild swelling or discomfort.

Steroid Injections: Fast-Acting Relief for Inflammation
