Chronic foot or ankle pain can significantly affect your daily comfort and mobility. At Walk This Way Podiatry in Naas, our podiatrist offers corticosteroid (cortisone) injections to help reduce inflammation, relieve pain and support healing. This treatment is particularly useful for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, bursitis, and joint inflammation that have not improved with conservative care.
A corticosteroid injection delivers an anti-inflammatory medication directly into the affected area, targeting the source of pain and swelling. Unlike oral medication, which affects the entire body, this localized treatment provides rapid relief and helps restore movement and function more efficiently.
Plantar fasciitis.
At Walk This Way Podiatry, our podiatrist performs corticosteroid injections under sterile conditions to ensure safety and precision. The area is cleaned, a local anaesthetic may be used for comfort, and the corticosteroid is injected into the affected tissue. The entire procedure typically takes just a few minutes, and patients often experience noticeable relief within a few days.
You may experience mild soreness at the injection site for 24–48 hours, which can be managed with rest and ice. Our podiatrist will guide you on activity modification and rehabilitation to prevent recurrence and support long-term healing.
A cortisone injection isn't the first step for everyone. It's usually considered when heel or joint pain hasn't settled with treatments like laser therapy and orthotics. Our podiatrist will talk you through whether it's right for you. Book your consultation today.
