Hip pain can have a significant impact on mobility, sleep, and daily activity. At Physio Soton, we use ultrasound-guided injections to both diagnose and treat a range of hip conditions by delivering medication precisely to the affected area.
At Physio Soton, we provide specialist assessment and ultrasound-guided hip injections for patients across Southampton, Portsmouth, Bournemouth, Winchester, Eastleigh, and Hampshire with a focus on accurate diagnosis and effective, evidence-based treatment. We also offer ultrasound-guided injections for other joints, including the knee and shoulder, allowing us to tailor treatment based on your specific condition.
We regularly see patients travelling from across the South Coast, including Southampton, Portsmouth, Bournemouth, Fareham, Whiteley, Winchester, Eastleigh, and surrounding areas for expert musculoskeletal assessment and injection therapy.
A hip injection involves delivering medication—usually a corticosteroid and local anaesthetic—into or around the hip joint under ultrasound guidance.
This can help:
Hip injections may be used for:
Patient profile:
Adult patient with persistent right-sided hip pain affecting walking, sleep, and daily activity.
Symptoms:
Assessment:
Clinical examination and ultrasound identified features consistent with greater trochanteric pain syndrome affecting the tendons/bursa around the hip. No significant intra-articular joint pathology was seen.
Treatment:
An ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection was performed precisely into the affected region. Ultrasound guidance ensured accurate placement and avoidance of surrounding structures.
Outcome:
Key point:
Accurate diagnosis and ultrasound guidance are essential for effective, targeted treatment of hip pain.
Ultrasound guidance allows real-time visualisation of the joint and surrounding structures, improving precision and safety.
Benefits include:
Your appointment includes:
Hip injections are not suitable for every patient. They are most effective when used as part of a full clinical assessment rather than in isolation.
A consultation is always required first.
All treatment decisions are made following assessment.
We see patients from across Hampshire, including:
If you are experiencing ongoing hip pain, a specialist assessment can help determine whether an ultrasound-guided hip injection is appropriate for you.
At Physio Soton, we provide expert assessment and evidence-based treatment for patients across Southampton, Portsmouth, Bournemouth, Hampshire, and the South Coast.
A hip injection involves delivering medication—usually a corticosteroid and local anaesthetic—into or around the hip joint to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and help confirm the source of symptoms.
Yes. A clinical assessment is essential to determine the exact cause of your hip pain and whether an injection is appropriate. Not all hip pain requires an injection.
Most patients experience only mild discomfort. The procedure is performed using a fine needle, and ultrasound guidance helps improve accuracy and minimise irritation.
The injection itself usually takes only a few minutes. Your full appointment, including assessment and discussion, typically lasts around 20–30 minutes.
Some patients notice improvement within a few days, but it can take up to 1–2 weeks for the full effect as inflammation settles.
Relief varies depending on the condition being treated. Some patients experience improvement for several months, while others may require further treatment or rehabilitation.
Hip injections are commonly used for:
Yes. Ultrasound guidance allows the clinician to see the target area in real time, improving accuracy, effectiveness, and safety compared to landmark-guided injections.
Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as soreness at the injection site. More serious complications, such as infection, are rare.
You will always be assessed before any treatment is recommended.
Yes, most patients can walk immediately after the procedure. However, you may be advised to avoid strenuous activity for a short period.
Some patients benefit from a single injection, while others may require additional treatment depending on their condition and response.
Injections can provide significant relief, but they are often part of a broader treatment plan that may include rehabilitation and activity modification.
