Sundial Clinics Launches Corticosteroid Joint Injections in Brighton
Starting 4th April 2026
Sundial Clinics is pleased to announce the launch of a new service designed to help people struggling with persistent joint pain: GP-led corticosteroid joint injections, available from 4th April 2026 at our Queens Road, Brighton clinic.
For many people across Brighton, Hove and Sussex, joint pain can gradually become part of daily life. It can make walking uncomfortable, disrupt sleep, limit exercise, and turn simple activities such as climbing stairs or getting dressed into frustrating challenges. While physiotherapy and chiropractic care can often help restore movement and improve strength, some conditions are driven by inflammation that can be difficult to settle.
That’s where corticosteroid injections may offer an additional option.
A Targeted Treatment for Inflammation
Corticosteroid injections work by delivering a powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly into a painful joint or soft tissue structure. Because the medication is placed precisely where the inflammation is occurring, it can help reduce swelling and irritation more effectively than oral medication alone in certain musculoskeletal conditions.
When inflammation settles, pain often reduces and movement becomes easier. For many patients this creates an important opportunity to restart rehabilitation, rebuild strength and gradually return to normal activities.
Patients commonly seek injections when joint pain has persisted for several weeks or months despite rest or initial treatment. In some cases, the injection can provide relief within a few days, although the full benefit may develop over the following weeks as inflammation continues to settle.

Delivered by an Experienced GP
At Sundial Clinics, injections will be provided by Dr Daniel Hammond, an experienced GP who will assess each patient carefully before recommending treatment.
Having a GP deliver the injections offers an additional level of reassurance for patients. A full medical history can be reviewed, medications and underlying health conditions considered, and the diagnosis confirmed before any procedure takes place. This careful assessment helps ensure injections are used appropriately and safely.
Patients often value the confidence of knowing that their treatment is being carried out by a medical doctor with expertise in musculoskeletal care.
Part of an Integrated MSK Approach
One of the key differences at Sundial Clinics is that injections are not offered as a stand-alone service. Instead, they form part of a wider musculoskeletal care pathway that includes chiropractic care and physiotherapy.
Reducing inflammation with an injection can create a window of opportunity for rehabilitation. Once pain is under better control, patients can often engage more effectively with targeted exercise and manual therapy aimed at restoring movement, improving joint stability and preventing symptoms from returning.
This integrated approach reflects the clinic’s philosophy that injections should support recovery, not simply mask symptoms.
Conditions That May Benefit
Corticosteroid injections can be helpful for several common musculoskeletal conditions where inflammation plays a key role. These include:
- knee arthritis
- shoulder arthritis
- frozen shoulder
- rotator cuff shoulder pain
- trigger finger
- pain on the outside of the hip
Not every patient or condition is suitable for injection treatment, which is why a proper assessment is always the first step. Talk with a Sundial chiropractor or physiotherapist to find out.
A New Option for Patients in Brighton and Sussex
The launch of this service means patients across Brighton, Hove and the wider Sussex area now have access to GP-led joint injections within a specialist musculoskeletal clinic.
By combining medical expertise with hands-on rehabilitation care, Sundial Clinics aims to offer patients a more comprehensive pathway for managing joint pain and improving long-term mobility.
Service Launch on 4th April 2026
Appointments for corticosteroid injection consultations will be available on 4th April 2026 and on selected dates after this.
If joint pain has been limiting your activity or slowing your recovery, a consultation can help determine whether a corticosteroid injection might be appropriate for your condition.
