Nature of combined injections

Combined injections involve a dual-approach method. After an initial assessment, the targeted area is injected with two complementary substances, one focused on reducing inflammation and pain, and the other aimed at triggering the body’s natural healing response. The treatment is quick, performed in an outpatient setting, and designed to offer relief while enhancing tissue regeneration. Depending on the severity of the condition, repeat sessions may be recommended.

Common conditions suitable for combined injections

Joint and soft tissue issues treated by combined injections are often due to:

Overuse injuries: Repetitive strain from sports or physical work can cause chronic joint or tendon pain.

Degenerative changes: Age-related wear can lead to weakened tissue and joint deterioration.

Inflammation: Long-standing joint inflammation contributes to pain and limited mobility.

Post-surgical healing: Combined injections can enhance recovery after joint or tendon surgery.

Trauma: Past injuries may leave lasting damage that requires targeted regeneration.

Diagnosing suitability for combined injections

Diagnosis begins with a clinical assessment to evaluate symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion. Your clinician will review your history of joint or soft tissue issues and perform a physical examination. Imaging tools like MRI or ultrasound may be used to identify tissue damage or inflammation. If conservative treatments have failed and there’s a need for both anti-inflammatory and regenerative support, combined treatment may be advised as an appropriate next step.

Treatment overview

Combine injections involve a dual-approach method. After an initial assessment, the targeted area is injected with two complementary substances—one focused on reducing inflammation and pain, and the other aimed at triggering the body’s natural healing response. The treatment is quick, performed in an outpatient setting, and designed to offer relief while enhancing tissue regeneration. Depending on the severity of the condition, repeat sessions may be recommended.

Combine treatment is a regenerative injection therapy that blends two powerful techniques—one aimed at reducing inflammation and the other focused on stimulating repair. It is most commonly used to treat joint pain, soft tissue injuries, and early degenerative conditions. This approach is ideal for patients who have not responded to traditional treatments and are looking for a minimally invasive solution to improve joint function and reduce discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Combine treatment different from single-method injections?

Combine treatment targets both inflammation and regeneration at the same time, offering broader relief and healing compared to single-agent therapies.

Is the procedure painful?

Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the injection. A local anaesthetic is used to minimise pain.

How long does it take to see results?

Some patients feel improvement within days, while others may notice benefits over a few weeks as tissue healing progresses.
