Private Frozen Shoulder steroid injection Pricing

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that causes pain and stiffness in the shoulder joint. It usually affects people between the ages of 40 and 60 and can be caused by injury, surgery, or underlying medical conditions such as diabetes.

One of the treatments for frozen shoulder is a steroid injection, which can help reduce inflammation and pain in the affected area. But how much does this treatment cost in the UK?

As a private healthcare provider that specialises in steroid injections, our cost of a frozen shoulder steroid injection in the UK is £280. This includes the consultation fee, the injection itself, and any follow-up appointments that may be necessary.

It’s important to note that this cost may vary depending on where you receive the injection and the specific details of your treatment plan. In some cases, additional tests or procedures may be required before or after the injection, which could increase the overall cost of treatment.

Fortunately, most private health insurance plans in the UK cover the cost of frozen shoulder steroid injections. If you have private health insurance, it’s important to check with your provider to see what your plan covers and any co-payments or deductibles you may be responsible for.

If you don’t have private health insurance, you may be able to receive a steroid injection for frozen shoulder through the NHS (National Health Service). However, there may be a waiting list for this treatment, and the availability of this option may vary depending on where you live.

How do we keep our frozen shoulder steroid injection costs low?

Paying for the same injection at a private hospital may be considerably more (£750-£1150). If you have private medical insurance then this is not an issue as they will usually pay the full fees. But if you are waiting on the NHS and need relief of your symptoms now, then paying privately is your best option.

At Steroid Injections London the clinician performing the injection is also the clinician assessing you with an ultrasound scanner and prescribing the medicine. That means it can all be done in one appointment and therefore is a cost effective solution.

Our clinicians hold Post Graduate Diplomas in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound including Ultrasound-Guided Injections and also prescribe medicines. 

What if I don’t know what is wrong with me or what injection I need?

If you have not had a diagnosis from another clinician then it will be worth while first considering having an initial assessment with us to first understand the condition. We will provide an assessment, ultrasound scan, diagnosis and treatment plan before you decide to proceed with a steroid injection. We may be able to provide you with a treatment plan that does not involve any medication but a series of exercises and advice that may resolve the condition without having to have any injections. The majority of musculoskeletal pain can be effectively treated conservatively but if things do not resolve then you can still consider having an injection to help you recover faster.

We also have other interventions like Hyaluronic acid or PRP injections that are suitable for patients with joint arthritis and may have a longer lasting effect than a steroid injection.

We can provide steroid injections for conditions like Frozen Shoulder, Shoulder Impingement, Knee arthritis, Hip arthritis, Wrist and hand arthritis, Trigger finger, Mortons neuroma and Bursitis.
