Corticosteroid (Cortisone) Injection Therapy

At Infinity Foot Clinic – Targeted Relief for Foot & Heel Pain

At Infinity Foot Clinic, we offer corticosteroid (commonly known as cortisone) injection therapy to help reduce inflammation and relieve pain in the foot and ankle. This treatment is used when conservative therapies have not provided sufficient relief and is always performed with careful clinical judgment.

What Is a Corticosteroid Injection?

A corticosteroid injection is a medical treatment that delivers a powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected area. By targeting the source of inflammation, it can provide significant relief from pain and improve mobility.

Why Is This Treatment Needed?

Inflammation is a common cause of foot and ankle pain. When tissues become irritated or overused, they can swell and cause discomfort, limiting your ability to walk or stay active.

Corticosteroid injections may be recommended when:

• Pain persists despite rest, orthotics, or physical therapy

• Inflammation is severe or chronic

• Daily activities are affected

• Faster relief is needed to restore function

Conditions We Commonly Treat

At Infinity Foot Clinic, corticosteroid injections may be used to help manage:

• Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)

• Tendonitis

• Bursitis

• Joint inflammation (arthritis-related pain)

• Neuroma-related discomfort

How the Procedure Works

Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Assessment & Diagnosis

A chiropodist will perform a thorough evaluation to confirm that a corticosteroid injection is appropriate for your condition.

2. Preparation

The treatment area is carefully cleaned, and the procedure is explained so you feel informed and comfortable.

3. Injection

A small amount of corticosteroid medication is injected directly into the affected area using precise clinical technique. The process is quick and typically well tolerated.

4. Aftercare Guidance

You will receive clear instructions on rest, activity modification, and what to expect following the injection.
