For all registered HCPC Podiatrists with POM-A. Steroid injections are designed to give temporary relief to musculoskeletal sprains and strains of the lower limb as well as help to relieve acute episodes of inflammatory pain in joints and the tissue surrounding them in the foot and the lower leg. Steroid injections are also suitable for specific conditions such as Morton’s neuroma, which can be given temporary relief.
Delegates will learn when to, and how to, administer steroid injections for the benefit of their patients. It is essential that as clinical professionals you fully understand the contraindications of such injections and when not to administer.
In addition to Steroid Injection training delegates will learn alternatives for those who are unable to receive steroid injections. Such alternatives include Viscosupplements.
Viscosupplementation is a hyaluronic acid, a gel-like fluid, that is injected into a joint to relieve conditions such as osteoarthritis. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that lubricates a joint thus reducing friction. Unlike a steroid injection which relieves inflammation of peripheral joints, viscosupplements seek to reestablish the elasticity and viscosity of the joint’s normal synovial fluids. Viscosupplements are fully available to all podiatrists.
The course will focus on the viscosupplement range Ostenil from TRB Chemedica.
