Hip pain from labral tears, arthritis, or bursitis often worsens with prolonged sitting or repetitive loading. The joint can stiffen and inflamed tissues may become irritated, making the pain flare during or after activity.

Yes. At The Injury Hub we can provide diagnostic ultrasound at your initial appointment. If an MRI is needed to investigate cartilage, labrum, or bone changes, we can arrange this quickly — often on the same day.

Not always. Many people with arthritis on imaging remain relatively pain-free, and symptoms can often be managed effectively with strengthening, manual therapy, and activity modification. Joint replacement is only considered for more severe cases.

Yes, in selected cases. Corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid injections can provide pain relief and improve mobility, particularly when rehabilitation alone is not enough. We use ultrasound to guide all injections for accuracy and safety.

Stair pain is common in conditions such as patellofemoral pain syndrome, meniscus tears, or early arthritis. These activities place extra load on the knee joint, particularly the kneecap.

Yes. We can carry out a diagnostic ultrasound at your first appointment. If we suspect ligament, meniscus, or cartilage damage that ultrasound cannot fully capture, we can arrange an MRI promptly.

Not always. Many meniscus tears respond very well to rehabilitation and exercise. Surgery is usually only considered if you have persistent locking, catching, or pain that does not improve with conservative care.

Yes, when used selectively. Corticosteroid injections can reduce inflammation, while hyaluronic acid injections act as a lubricant and shock absorber. Both are delivered under ultrasound guidance to ensure precision.

This is often a sign of nerve compression, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Symptoms are commonly worse at night because of wrist positioning during sleep.

Absolutely. Ultrasound is excellent for assessing tendons, nerves, and joint swelling in real time. If a more detailed view of cartilage, bone, or ligaments is needed, an MRI can be arranged quickly.

Not necessarily. Many patients respond well to activity modification, splints, and guided injections. Surgery is usually reserved for more severe or persistent cases.

They can be uncomfortable, but with ultrasound guidance we can target the exact structure causing pain while keeping discomfort to a minimum. Most patients tolerate the procedure very well.

This is often caused by tendinopathy of the common extensor or flexor tendons, commonly known as tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow. These conditions are linked to overload and repetitive strain.

Yes. Ultrasound is excellent for showing tendon thickening, tears, or inflammation, and it can also assess nerves around the elbow.

Steroid injections can provide short-term relief but are not considered a long-term cure. Progressive loading and strengthening remain the most effective long-term treatments.

We offer shockwave therapy, TECAR therapy, manual therapy, and targeted rehabilitation programmes to restore strength and function. In resistant cases, regenerative injections such as PRP may be discussed.

Swelling often indicates joint irritation, ligament sprain, or tendon overload. Persistent swelling after activity is a sign that assessment and management are needed.

Yes. Ultrasound can show ligament injuries, tendon pathology, and joint swelling in real time. For complex fractures or cartilage injuries, MRI or X-ray may be arranged.

Yes. Even mild sprains benefit from guided rehabilitation to restore strength, balance, and stability. Without it, the risk of recurrent sprains and long-term weakness is higher.

They can be. Corticosteroid injections may help reduce joint inflammation, while prolotherapy or PRP can support tendon healing. All injections are performed under ultrasound guidance for accuracy.

This is a classic symptom of plantar fasciitis, where the thick band of tissue under the foot becomes irritated. Pain is often worse on the first steps after rest.

Yes. Ultrasound is excellent for detecting plantar fasciitis, tendon problems, Morton’s neuroma, and joint inflammation.

Not always. Some patients benefit from orthotics, but others improve with strengthening, stretching, and load management. Orthotics are only recommended when clearly beneficial.

Options include manual therapy, shockwave, TECAR therapy, targeted rehabilitation, and where appropriate, ultrasound-guided injections. For persistent problems, referral for MRI or podiatry input may be considered.
