Why Choose Colchester Injection Clinic?
Frequently Asked Questions
-
At Colchester Injection Clinic, we are able to diagnose and, in many cases, treat patients in a single visit. Thanks to onsite digital X-ray and ultrasound, investigations can be completed immediately, allowing treatment to proceed without the delays common in NHS or hospital-based systems.
-
Yes. We offer both diagnostic ultrasound and digital X-ray on site, which is highly unusual for a private injection clinic.
This enables:
Faster identification of musculoskeletal problems
Accurate confirmation of treatment suitability
Precise, targeted injection therapy
Patients benefit from fewer referrals and quicker outcomes.
-
Most private clinics rely on external imaging services. Our onsite digital X-ray allows immediate evaluation of:
Joint degeneration and arthritis severity
Bone alignment and structural changes
Suitability for injections such as Arthrosamid®, Hyaluronic Acid or Prolozone®
This supports same-day decision-making and treatment planning.
-
Where additional imaging is required, we can arrange a private MRI scan for £250, with results usually available within seven days. This avoids long delays and keeps your care pathway efficient and cost-effective.
-
NHS waiting times for scans and injections can be extensive.
Our clinic model allows:
Immediate clinical assessment
On-the-spot imaging
Same-day or same-week treatment where appropriate
This ensures faster access to care when symptoms are impacting daily life.
-
Yes. All limb and joint musculoskeletal injections are ultrasound-guided to improve accuracy and results. Spinal Prolozone injections are delivered using anatomical landmark techniques, as ultrasound is not suitable for these structures.
