 Ultrasound-Guided Steroid Injections – Joint Pain Relief at 1 Health Christchurch

Living with arthritis or ongoing joint pain affects mobility, independence, and overall quality of life. While most general practice clinics across Christchurch and Canterbury provide steroid injections for arthritis and joint pain, 1 Health Medical Centre goes further—offering ultrasound-guided steroid injections for superior accuracy and results.

Why Choose Ultrasound-Guided Injections?

Steroid injections are a trusted option for reducing inflammation and easing pain in arthritic and injured joints. Typically, GPs inject medication based on anatomical landmarks, but at 1 Health we use real-time ultrasound imaging to pinpoint the exact target area.

Benefits include:

  • Higher accuracy: Ultrasound guidance lets us visualize the joint and ensure the steroid is delivered to the right spot.
  • Improved pain relief: Targeted treatment means greater and longer-lasting symptom improvement.
  • Lower risk: Avoids potential injury to nerves or blood vessels.
  • Greater confidence: Patients see and understand their treatment with immediate, visible guidance.

Conditions We Treat with Ultrasound-Guided Steroid Injections

Our skilled GPs use ultrasound-guided injections for many joint and tendon conditions, including:

  • Osteoarthritis (knee, hip, shoulder, hand, ankle)
  • Rotator cuff injuries
  • Tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Bursitis and tendinitis
