Knee and Spinal Pain Relief with Injection Therapy at Physios R Us
If you’re dealing with stubborn joint pain that just won’t go away, you’re not alone. Whether it’s your knee that flares up after a walk or your lower back that stiffens after sitting too long, joint discomfort can make everyday life feel exhausting. For many people, injection therapy can offer fast, effective relief — especially when combined with expert physiotherapy. At Physios R Us, we offer a range of targeted injection treatments, including knee injections, facet joint injections, and corticosteroid injections. If you’ve been searching for a trusted joint injection clinic, this guide will help you understand how these treatments work and whether they could be right for you.
What Is Injection Therapy, and How Does It Help? Put simply, injection therapy involves delivering medication directly into a painful joint or around a specific area to reduce inflammation, ease pain, and restore movement. These injections are often used when other treatments like physiotherapy, exercise, or oral medications aren’t providing enough relief.
Common reasons for injection therapy include: ● Knee osteoarthritis ● Tendon or ligament injuries ● Persistent swelling or inflammation ● Facet joint pain in the spine
In most cases, the injection includes a corticosteroid to target inflammation, and sometimes a local anaesthetic to provide quick pain relief.
Knee Injections: Fast Relief for Stubborn Knee Pain Knee pain can feel relentless — it affects walking, driving, climbing stairs, and even sleeping. If you're tired of living with a swollen, aching knee, knee joint injections could be the next step. At Physios R Us, we commonly use corticosteroid injections in the knee to help patients with: ● Osteoarthritis ● Meniscus injuries ● Bursitis or tendonitis ● Ligament sprains or strains
These injections reduce inflammation inside the joint, which can help relieve stiffness, improve mobility, and make it easier to get back into a rehabilitation routine. How long do they last?
Most people notice a reduction in pain within a few days, and the effects can last
from several weeks to a few months depending on the individual and the condition being treated.
Facet Joint Injections: Targeting Back and Neck Pain Struggling with a stiff or painful spine? The culprit could be your facet joints — the small joints that connect the bones in your spine and allow you to move freely. When these joints become inflamed or irritated (often from arthritis or injury), they can cause sharp or aching pain in your neck, mid-back, or lower back. That’s where facet joint injections come in. These targeted injections are designed to calm inflammation around the irritated facet joints and reduce pain so you can move more comfortably. At Physios R Us, we often see patients who’ve tried everything from stretching to massage and painkillers — but it’s the injection that finally gives them a breakthrough.
What’s the Treatment Process Like? We understand that getting an injection into a joint might sound a bit daunting, especially if you’ve never had one before. But at Physios R Us, the process is safe, straightforward, and handled with the highest level of care. Here’s what to expect: 1. Initial Consultation You’ll meet with one of our experienced clinicians to discuss your symptoms, review your medical history, and examine the joint in question. If needed, we’ll recommend imaging like an ultrasound or MRI. 2. The Injection Itself The area is cleaned and numbed with a local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel much discomfort. The injection is then delivered into the joint using precise techniques — sometimes with imaging guidance for accuracy.
3. Aftercare and Recovery You might feel a bit sore for a day or two, but most people return to normal activity quickly. Our team will give you personalised advice, and if you’re having physiotherapy, we’ll time your rehab to get the best results after the injection.
