Private Joint Injections in Poole, Bournemouth & Dorset<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dr Sumit Aggarwal
MBBS, MRCGP (2015), PG Diploma Dermatology, GPwSI Dermatology, Cert NSV<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joint injection care is assessment-led and provided by Dr Sumit Aggarwal. Suitability depends on the joint involved, symptoms, examination findings, medical history and whether steroid or hyaluronic acid injection treatment is clinically appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joint injections may be suitable for some patients with pain, inflammation or stiffness affecting joints or soft tissue areas. Suitability is assessed carefully before any injection is offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assessment-led joint injections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Joint injections are only offered after clinical assessment. Your appointment will include a review of your symptoms, medical history, affected joint or soft tissue area, previous treatments and whether injection treatment is suitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If an injection is not appropriate, we will explain why and advise on other options such as physiotherapy, imaging, medication review, onward referral or alternative treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joint-Specific Treatment Pathways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Steroid Joint Injections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Steroid injections may be considered for selected joint or soft tissue problems where inflammation is contributing to pain, stiffness or reduced function. Suitability depends on the diagnosis, examination findings, medical history and any relevant previous treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steroid injections are not suitable for every condition, and some patients may need imaging, physiotherapy, blood tests or specialist referral before treatment is considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyaluronic acid injection options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

GP Private Services offers selected hyaluronic acid injection pathways where clinically appropriate, including Cingal, Monovisc and Orthovisc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Cingal \u2013 for selected knee osteoarthritis cases<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Monovisc- for selected knee and shoulder problems where clinically appropriate<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Orthovisc Small Joint Injections<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Orthovisc may be considered for selected smaller joints, including thumb, finger and big toe joints.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    If you are unsure which injection type is suitable, book a suitability consultation first. The most appropriate option can be discussed after assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Important Safety Note<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Joint injections are only offered after clinical assessment and where they are considered clinically appropriate. Suitability depends on the diagnosis, joint involved, symptoms, examination findings, medical history, medication use and any relevant previous investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Some patients may require imaging, physiotherapy, medication review, blood tests, specialist referral or alternative treatment before an injection is considered. If an injection is not suitable, this will be explained clearly and appropriate next steps will be discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    GP Private Services does not provide emergency care. If you have severe pain, sudden swelling, fever, redness, injury, inability to weight-bear, or feel acutely unwell, please seek urgent medical advice through NHS 111, 999 or your nearest emergency department as appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
