Complete Injections

Complete Injections: ultrasound-guided injections for musculoskeletal pain

Complete Injections is a specialised ultrasound-guided injection service that is part of Complete Physio. Its work focuses on pain relief through injections for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. The service is presented as a comprehensive solution that does not require a prior medical referral, making fast access to treatment easier.

Types of injections

The treatment catalogue includes several injection modalities, all performed with ultrasound guidance:

• Steroid injections: aimed at rapid and effective pain reduction; ultrasound guidance improves accuracy and reduces the risk of side effects.
• Hyaluronic acid injections: for joint pain.
• Arthrosamid® knee injection: hydrogel for knee osteoarthritis pain, ultrasound-guided by UK musculoskeletal specialists.
• Spinal injections: a range of injections for neck pain, back pain and sciatica.
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection: can provide long-lasting reduction in pain associated with degenerative joint and tendon problems.
• Hydrodistension injection for frozen shoulder: an effective treatment for this condition.

The website also mentions other techniques such as caudal epidural injection, nerve root injections, spinal facet joint injections and suprascapular nerve block (SSNB).

Conditions treated

The service addresses conditions in different areas of the body: spine, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, hip and pelvis, knee, and foot and ankle.

Care model and pricing

Complete Injections operates without the need for a GP referral. In a single appointment, the clinician carries out a full assessment that includes a diagnostic ultrasound scan before performing the guided injection. A full report is then provided to the GP. This format avoids unnecessary appointments and the associated costs. The all-inclusive price starts from £320 and includes the assessment, the ultrasound-guided injection and the report. The company states that it can usually see patients within 24 to 48 hours.
