Ultrasound-guided joint and spine injections in Tunbridge Wells
Injections for painful joints, tendons and the spine, guided by ultrasound so the medicine goes where it’s needed. Every injection treatment starts with an assessment, and many begin with a free consultation.
Many joints and tendons sit deep under the skin, close to nerves and blood vessels. Ultrasound lets us see the area on screen while we inject, so the needle and medicine can be placed accurately.
It also means we can look at the problem before treating it. Sometimes the scan shows that a different treatment would suit you better, and we’ll tell you if so.
What we commonly treat
Knee and hip arthritis
Steroid, hyaluronic acid, Arthrosamid® and PRP, depending on your joint and what you’ve tried.
Shoulder pain
Including frozen shoulder, rotator cuff problems and bursitis.
Tendon problems
Such as tennis elbow and other painful tendons, often alongside exercise or shockwave.
Back and neck pain
Selected spinal injections with Dr Gabriel Azzini, after a full assessment.

Follow-up
We give you aftercare advice and check how you’re getting on, often with exercises to support your recovery.
When to get urgent help

Cortisone injection★★★★★
I recently had an ultrasound guided cortisone injection with Gary… Gary took the time to explain everything clearly before the procedure which really put me at ease, not easy when you’re not a fan of needles! The process itself was essentially pain free.

Frozen shoulder★★★★★
Gary helped me with my frozen shoulder. He was very thorough, professional and informative. I was given a cortisone injection, which he talked me through. During the procedure he was calming and efficient.

Hyaluronic acid★★★★★
I first saw Gary for a consultation regarding the arthritis in my knees with a view to having a hyaluronic acid injection. Gary was extremely knowledgeable and went through all the options before suggesting which would be the best option for me.

Knee injection★★★★★
My mum had acute knee pain which has been treated at the clinic, she now has much better mobility and positive outlook due to the treatment received. Gary has been so helpful and supportive throughout the consultation and treatment.

Stem cell★★★★★
I cannot thank Gary and Gabriel enough for the stem cell treatment they gave me. When I started my treatment my tendonitis was so bad in my elbows that I couldn’t carry my little children, drive the car or do my day job without getting in severe pain.
Most people find them more comfortable than expected. We usually numb the skin first, and ultrasound guidance helps us place the needle quickly and accurately.
Are there any risks or side effects?
Some soreness for a day or two is common. Less often, there may be a flare of pain, bruising or, rarely, infection. Each treatment has its own specific risks, which we explain before you decide.
Which injection is right for me?
It depends on the problem, how long you’ve had it and what you’ve already tried. That’s what the consultation is for, and we may suggest a non-injection treatment instead.
Can I drive home afterwards?
Usually, yes, depending on the area injected. We’ll advise you on the day.
