Joint Injections

Dr Murray offers joint injection treatments for a range of musculoskeletal conditions where they are clinically appropriate. He has undertaken specialist training with the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and has recently completed a further update course with the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP), ensuring his practice reflects the latest evidence and guidance.

Joint injections can help reduce pain and inflammation, improve mobility, and support recovery in selected conditions. Dr Murray is trained to perform injections for shoulder conditions including rotator cuff disorders, osteoarthritis, and frozen shoulder; knee osteoarthritis; and selected hand and wrist conditions such as trigger finger, carpal tunnel syndrome, and certain wrist disorders.

In line with current best practice, Dr Murray no longer offers steroid injections for plantar fasciitis, as these are no longer routinely recommended. For knee osteoarthritis, he is trained to provide both corticosteroid with local anaesthetic injections and, where appropriate, hyaluronic acid injections following clinical assessment.

If you think you may benefit from a joint injection, please speak to a member of the team to arrange an assessment and discuss the most suitable treatment options.
