Private Injection Clinics was established to offer effective and affordable injection treatment for all musculoskeletal (MSK) and spinal requirements in Leigh, Southend-on-Sea, Colchester, Essex and surrounding areas.
MSK covers all joints and soft tissues from the hip to the toes and from the shoulder to the fingers. Spinal injections (prolozone only) cover the whole spine including the pelvis and coccyx (tail bone).
Our clinics give you a complete solution with no need for a GP referral, offering physical examination, diagnosis and treatment under one roof, all performed on the same day. Our clinicians are highly qualified and have over 17 years of experience in both NHS and private settings.
All injections are performed by dual qualified clinicians with masters level postgraduate diplomas (PGDip) in diagnostic ultrasound and ultrasound guided injections.

Frequently Asked Questions
We specialise in non-surgical injection treatments for joint, muscle, tendon, ligament and spinal pain, including steroid/cortisone, Prolozone®, Hyaluronic Acid, Arthrosamid®, and NSTRIDE services. Our focus is providing fast access to expert care without long waiting lists or high private hospital fees.
We offer the most cost-effective injection treatments in the area, with prices significantly lower than private hospitals and consultant clinics. Other providers typically charge multiple fees including:
– Initial consultation fee
– Procedure fee
– Hospital/theatre fee
– Follow-up appointment fee
These costs can total 3–4 times more than our transparent pricing. Because we don’t have hospital overheads, admin charges and consultation fees, we charge only one clear upfront procedure fee:
– Free consultation
– Free follow-up
– No hospital or admin fees
– No hidden charges
Our lower costs do not reflect lower quality, just greater efficiency and no hospital overheads.
Yes, all musculoskeletal (arms, legs, shoulders, hips, knees, feet, wrists and hands) injections are ultrasound-guided for maximum accuracy, safety and effectiveness.
Spinal Prolozone injections are not ultrasound-guided, as this treatment targets ligament structures that are not visible on ultrasound and are performed using anatomical landmark techniques.

You are always treated by a specialist, not a trainee or general practitioner.

Yes, a free follow-up is included for every patient to review progress and ensure optimal outcomes.
Your clinician will assess your symptoms, movement and medical history and recommend the most suitable option – whether that is steroid, Hyaluronic Acid, Prolozone, Arthrosamid, APS or another modality. We prioritise the most effective and cost-appropriate solution, not upselling.
Many patients experience:
– Reduced pain and inflammation
– Improved mobility and function
– Faster return to activities and sport
– Avoidance or delay of surgery
Results vary depending on condition severity, treatment type and individual healing response.
