How Shoulder Injections Work
The skin is cleaned and sterilised
Antiseptic preparation applied to the shoulder area to minimise infection risk.
Local anaesthetic injected first
A fine needle numbs the skin and joint, making the subsequent injection virtually pain-free.
Injection administered
The chosen treatment is delivered precisely into the joint, bursa, tendon, or trigger point. The procedure takes 10–15 minutes.
Same-day discharge
You can go home the same day. Rest for 24–48 hours and avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity.
Risks & Side Effects
- Steroid flare: Temporary pain increase 24–48 hours after injection normal, settles with ice and rest
- Mild bruising or soreness at the injection site typically resolves within a few days
- Injection limit: Steroid injections limited to 3 per joint per year to protect tendons and cartilage
- Infection risk: Very rare all injections performed under strict sterile conditions
- Non-steroid alternatives (PRP, hyaluronic acid) available for patients who cannot have cortisone
Recovery & What to Expect
Steroid injections often bring relief within 1–3 days and last several weeks to months. PRP injections work more slowly but can promote long-term healing over 6–12 months. Hyaluronic acid takes 2–4 weeks to reach full effect but can last up to 6 months. All patients receiving Shoulder Pain Injections Birmingham get clear aftercare advice before leaving the clinic.
