If you are struggling with arthritis or persistent joint pain, it can affect your ability to stay active and enjoy everyday life.

At Relive Physiotherapy, we provide ultrasound-guided hyaluronic acid injections to help reduce pain, improve joint mobility and support long-term joint health.

This form of joint injection therapy in Chester is commonly used to help people looking for non-surgical joint pain treatment and long-term relief from conditions such as osteoarthritis.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in healthy joints, where it forms part of the synovial fluid that lubricates and cushions the joint during movement.

When joints become damaged through osteoarthritis or injury, the level of hyaluronic acid can decrease, leading to stiffness, inflammation and pain.

By injecting a stabilised form of hyaluronic acid directly into the joint, we can help restore lubrication, reduce friction and improve joint movement, allowing you to move more comfortably again.

Are You Struggling with Joint Pain That Is Affecting Your Daily Life?

Living with ongoing joint pain or reduced mobility can make even simple activities feel difficult. Many people find that pain gradually stops them from doing the things they once enjoyed.

You may recognise some of the following situations:

Pain when walking or moving, making it difficult to stay active or play with children or grandchildren

Avoiding exercise or physical activity because movement has become too uncomfortable

Watching from the sidelines instead of taking part in sports or hobbies you previously enjoyed

Missing work due to joint pain, especially if time off means losing income

Trying exercises you found online that promised relief but didn’t improve your symptoms

If this sounds familiar, it may be worth speaking with Raj to see whether a Durolane hyaluronic acid injection could help reduce your pain and improve your mobility.

At Relive Physiotherapy in Chester, injection therapy can help lubricate painful joints, reduce inflammation and support better movement, allowing you to get back to the activities that matter most to you.

Many people we see are searching for joint pain treatment in Chester after trying rest, medication or general exercise without success. Injection therapy offers a more targeted approach by treating the source of the pain directly.

What Is a Hyaluronic Acid Injection?

A Hyaluronic Acid Injection, sometimes referred to as a cartilage supplement or sodium hyaluronate injection, is a treatment commonly used to help relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis and joint pain. Unlike many other treatments, it is not a drug, but a naturally occurring substance that helps support healthy joint function.

There are several types of hyaluronic acid injections available. At Relive Physiotherapy, Raj uses Durolane, a well-established treatment that has shown excellent results for clients experiencing joint pain and reduced mobility.

This treatment is most often used for people with osteoarthritis, but it may also be suitable for a range of other joint conditions. Hyaluronic acid injections are commonly given in joints such as the knee, shoulder, elbow, hip, ankle, fingers and toes.

How Hyaluronic Acid Supports Your Joints

Your joints are designed to allow smooth movement where two bones meet. Inside each joint is a natural lubricant called synovial fluid, which allows the bones to move smoothly over one another without friction.

When conditions such as osteoarthritis develop, the amount and quality of this synovial fluid can decrease. As a result, the bones may begin to rub against each other, causing pain, stiffness and reduced mobility.

A hyaluronic acid injection works by restoring this lubrication within the joint. By supplementing the synovial fluid, the treatment helps the joint move more smoothly, reducing friction and helping to relieve pain.

By improving joint lubrication and reducing friction, this treatment is often recommended as part of a wider arthritis treatment plan to help maintain long-term joint health.

Who Can Benefit from Hyaluronic Acid Injections?

Hyaluronic acid injections are suitable for many people experiencing joint pain, arthritis or reduced mobility. Because the treatment uses a naturally occurring substance, there are relatively few contraindications, meaning it can be an option for a wide range of people.

Another advantage is that, as this treatment is not a traditional medication, there is no strict limit on how many injections you can have over time.

Many people experience relief for 12 months or longer, although the exact duration of benefit can vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated.

It is particularly beneficial for people looking for osteoarthritis treatment in Chester who want to stay active and avoid or delay surgical intervention.

The Many Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Injections

Relief for Stiffness and Joint Pain

Joint pain and stiffness can make everyday movement difficult and stop you from enjoying the activities you love. Durolane injections help restore lubrication within the joint, allowing it to move more smoothly and comfortably. By reducing friction and inflammation, the treatment can improve flexibility and reduce pain. Many people find that this allows them to return to daily activities with greater comfort and confidence.

Targeted Pain Relief

Persistent joint pain can significantly affect your quality of life and make everyday tasks feel challenging. Durolane hyaluronic acid injections are designed to provide targeted relief by improving lubrication within the affected joint. This helps reduce friction, stiffness and discomfort during movement. If you are looking to improve joint function and return to a more active lifestyle, this treatment may be a suitable option.

Support for Damaged Joints

Joint injuries or trauma can lead to inflammation, stiffness and reduced mobility. Durolane injections can help support the recovery process by improving joint lubrication and reducing inflammation within the affected area. This allows the joint to move more freely while giving the surrounding tissues the opportunity to recover. With the right treatment and rehabilitation, many people experience improved mobility and long-term joint support.

Support for Ageing Joints

As we age, the natural lubrication within our joints can decrease, often leading to stiffness and discomfort. Durolane injections help restore this lubrication, allowing joints to move more smoothly and reducing the symptoms associated with ageing joints. By easing stiffness and inflammation, the treatment can help improve mobility and flexibility. This means you can stay active and continue doing the activities you enjoy.

Effective Treatment for Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis can cause joint stiffness, inflammation and reduced mobility, making it harder to stay active. Durolane injections help restore joint lubrication, which can reduce pain and improve movement. By supporting smoother joint function, this treatment may help increase flexibility and comfort. Many people use hyaluronic acid injections as part of a comprehensive approach to managing osteoarthritis symptoms.

Important Information Before Your Durolane Injection

Before attending Relive Physiotherapy, Chester’s premium injection therapy clinic, there are a few important things you should know to ensure the treatment is safe and effective.

If you currently have an infection in the area where the injection would be given, the procedure will need to be postponed until the infection has fully cleared. Injecting into an infected area can be unsafe, so this precaution is taken to protect your health.

Before your appointment, Raj will also ask about your medical history and lifestyle. It is essential that you provide complete and accurate information so that your treatment can be carried out safely.

Please inform us if:

Before you come to Chester’s Premium Injection Therapy Clinic, there are a few more things to let you know:

You have any allergies

You are currently taking steroids or other medication

You have conditions such as epilepsy or diabetes

You have had surgery on the affected area or are planning surgery

You currently have an infection, fever or are feeling unwell

You decide that you no longer wish to proceed with the injection

A full assessment ensures that this form of ultrasound-guided injection therapy is appropriate for your condition and delivered safely.

Please note that Relive Physiotherapy does not perform injections into the spine, as this is a highly specialised medical procedure that requires a different clinical setting.

What Happens After Your Durolane Injection

After your injection, it is usually recommended that you rest the treated area for a couple of days. This allows the medication to settle and begin reducing inflammation effectively.

Although you may begin to feel improvement quickly, it is important not to overuse the area too soon, as this may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.

Following your injection, combining treatment with rehabilitation exercises is key to getting the best results from your joint injection therapy and maintaining improvements long-term. These exercises are designed to strengthen the affected area and help reduce the risk of the problem returning.

Because hyaluronic acid injections can take time to reach their full therapeutic effect, a follow-up appointment is often recommended. This allows Raj to assess your progress, review your recovery, and adjust your exercise programme if needed.

We do NOT do injections into the Spine. This is a highly specialised procedure and not one that is offered by Relive Physiotherapy.

Raj will ask you about your medical history and your lifestyle. You need to make sure that you tell us absolutely everything as any incorrect or omitted information could put your health at risk.

We need to know:

Any allergies that you might have

If you are taking steroids, are epileptic or diabetic and taking medication

If you have had surgery or are about to have surgery on the infected area

If you have an infection or are feeling feverish or unwell

If you change your mind and do not want the Injection

They help lubricate joints, reduce friction, and improve movement, particularly in osteoarthritis.

Many people experience relief for 6–12 months or longer.

They work differently. Hyaluronic acid focuses on joint lubrication, while steroids reduce inflammation. The best option depends on your condition.

I can highly recommend the team at Relive Physiotherapy. I was in absolute agony with left knee pain just a few weeks ago. I phoned up on a Friday morning and Raj fitted me in that day. He went through all my options and I had the steroid injection on the same day. The results have been AMAZING which have also been helped by the brilliant physiotherapy by Shivani. I have also committed to doing all the exercises Shivani advises. I have also had the durolane injection in the right knee to help with pain and lubrication of the joint. Again AMAZING results. The whole team are just wonderful, friendly, welcoming, kind and compassionate. I feel seen and listened to which I really appreciate. I honestly thought that I would just be in pain and have reduced mobility until I had a knee replacement after a very long wait on the NHS. But now I feel like I can start to live again which I am so grateful for. Thank you to all at Relive Physiotherapy and a shout out to Raj and Shivani

I have just finished a course of treatment with Raj at Relive. I had a variety of musculoskeletal-issues that had developed over time. Raj broke down the ingredients of the problem and went through a treatment regime which has sorted all my issues. Raj is highly knowledgable, experienced and totally patient focused. And his team come across as most welcoming and very well organised. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Relive. I also extend a big thank you to Raj and his team for making my visits such a pleasurable experience and, above all, for such a successful outcome.

Today I visited Relive Physiotherapy and was treated by Raj. I had ultrasound guided cortisone injections in both shoulders to help with pain after a fall. The whole procedure was excellent. Raj explained everything very thoroughly, he initially showed me images of my shoulders on the scan and explained where the problem was and where he was going to inject. The injections were not particularly painful, and I thought the whole procedure was carried out very professionally.I live in Wales and the wait time for cortisone injections on the NHS are 6-9 months. I was able to arrange the injections with Raj within days. I can thoroughly recommend Relive Physiotherapy and the treatment I received from Raj today was first class. Many thanks.Judith France

From the moment i made the enquiry to the consultation through to the injection, Raj was absolutely amazing, he was very prompt getting back to me and made feel relaxed throughout the entire procedure, his knowledge is second to none and he took the time to examine and understand my issues without rushing …I highly recommend the services at relive physiotherapy clinic ,i will definitely be returning. A big thank you to Raj and his team.

I was suffering with an impinged shoulder. My wife had successful treatment with Raj, so I went to see Raj. I found Raj very friendly, attentive, professional and Raj put me at ease straight away. I always felt safe, even in these difficult times (Covid). I had 4-5 appointments and a steroid injection into the shoulder, I am now back having fun kayaking. I was initially worried about the steroid injection. Raj explained the process and risks to me, putting my mind at ease, I found the steroid injection completely pain free and felt a massive difference. Thank you Raj.

Lee Millar

I’ve had tendinitis in my right arm for a couple of years. Tried the usual self help on YouTube but nothing fixed it. I went to see Mohana who recommended a cortisone injection. That’s worked a treat. I’ve had a couple of physio sessions with Mohana since the jab and I’m now pain free. Just hope it stays that way. Thanks Mohana and the team at Relive Physiotherapy.

Paul Tanton

Mohana is lovely lady and have angel’s hands. She helped a lot . I was pain in my shoulder. I got injection from Raj and stopped pain.

Berenice Almeida

I had been struggling for several months with a problem with my right knee which was limiting my mobility. Walking any distance caused me to limp and walking upstairs difficult as was getting in an out of my MX5. I sort help from my sports physio which helped but did not solve my problem. I found Relive Physiopherapy local to me, booked an appointment with Mohana for a knee assessment and was recommended an injection in the knee. Within 5 days I am climbing stairs normally can get into and out of my car normally and my knee flexibilty is the same as my other knee. I wish I had found Relive months ago and avoided all the pain I have been put through. So my utmost thanks to Mohana at Relive. I have already recommended a friend with an ongoing knee issue to contact them. Happy days ! Colin.

Colin Smith

I wholeheartedly recommend Relive Physiotherapy. I have received excellent care and guidance from Raj who has been treating issues with both my knees for a couple of years. He has been very patient and explained the steps in treatment at every stage. The Durolane injection he recommended in my knee has given me much more flexibility and confidence. The whole team are lovely and friendly making you feel very welcome every time you visit. Thank you very much Raj and all the team.

Donna

Thanks Raj for your continued support with my knee over the past couple of years. I visited today for a Durolane injection in my left knee. Thanks for explaining how this will work as it is slightly different to the previous injection. Always a professional, I have no hesitation in recommending you to others.

Having suffered for several months with suspected Tendinopathy in the shoulder and, having had two cortisone injections, I then had a third to stretch the shoulder capsule followed by some sessions at Relive Physiotherapy in Chester to help regain my range. I’ve always felt welcomed by the Relive team and being able to park outside is a massive city centre bonus. My physio was Shivani who has a Masters Degree in Physiotherapy who I cannot recommend enough. Goodness she knows her stuff!!! Shivani was happy to explain what the programme was and why/how it would help and how I was progressing along the way. She also communicated directly with my insurer (Aviva/ HCML) to keep them updated with my progress and to apply for additional sessions for me as needed which made it super-easy. Shivani successfully managed to get the full range back in my shoulder, the limitations of which had greatly impacted me and, to be fair, it was no mean feat considering I’d not sought medical help for several months allowing my shoulder to get much worse. I’ve been massively impressed by Shivani. Sessions have now been paused awaiting my Ortho appointment - I may need some more sessions but, if I do, I know I’ll be in very safe hands with Shivani and Relive. Well done all and thank you!

Andrea Sands

Fantastic service pain free, waiting 12 months for NHS treatment and was told wait another 26 weeks for a cortisone injection in the foot. This is why I took a chance to try these amazing people. Thank you so much. Kevin

Kevin Thomas

Thank you to all at Relive Physiotherapy, whilst on holiday I needed an appointment for plantar fasciitis, I was able to be seen the following day. Mia manipulated my ankle joint that was only moving to 6 degrees instead of 16. This had never been mentioned in France where I live during the 3 months of shock therapy which didn't make any difference. I hobbled into the clinic and walked out. Two days later I was given a cortisone injection by the needle therapists who came to work early in order to help me as I am flying home later this week. I am already feeling a difference after just a few hours . Thank you for going above and beyond my expectations. I would absolutely recommend you in the future . Kind regards Carol Fardy

Carol Fardy

This is a really great Physio place and the treatment is top notch. I have seen a fair few of the team and everyone is so friendly. Iain on reception is fab too. There is a little book in reception where customers can leave comments and it’s literally bursting with positive comments and success stories. Well worth a read and a contribution if you ever go!
