Steroid injections

At The Hanham Clinic in Bristol, we offer steroid injections (also called cortisone injections) to reduce inflammation and relieve pain from a range of musculoskeletal conditions. Common uses include knee and hip osteoarthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, peritendinitis, and chronic soft tissue pain. All steroid injections in Bristol are performed using ultrasound guidance, allowing precise delivery of medication directly to the affected area. This ensures maximum effectiveness while minimising discomfort, helping you get the targeted relief you need safely and efficiently.

Hyaluronic Acid Injections

We offer hyaluronic acid injections in Bristol as a non-steroidal option to manage joint pain, especially for patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis. This treatment is ideal for mild to moderate arthritic joints, those seeking an alternative to steroid injections, or ongoing symptom management after a previous injection. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of joint fluid that improves viscosity and lubrication when injected, supporting smoother joint movement and reducing discomfort. All injections at our Bristol clinic are performed with ultrasound guidance for precise and effective treatment.

Diagnostic Injections

If you’re experiencing pain with an uncertain cause, our diagnostic injections in Bristol can help identify the source. Using ultrasound guidance, we inject a local anaesthetic precisely into the suspected area—whether the hip joint, pelvis, or lower back. Real-time imaging ensures accurate delivery, allowing us to pinpoint which structure is causing your pain. If your discomfort improves after the injection, it confirms the source of the problem, enabling us to create a more targeted and effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Fluid Aspiration

At The Hanham Clinic in Bristol, we offer joint and Baker’s cyst aspirations to help relieve pain and improve mobility. Aspiration involves using a needle, guided by ultrasound, to safely remove excess fluid from swollen joints or cysts. This procedure can help reduce pressure and inflammation, potentially easing discomfort and stiffness. Baker’s cysts, often related to knee issues, may cause symptoms that aspiration aims to alleviate. Our experienced team performs all aspirations with precision and care to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the treatment.

Dean Matthews

Chiropractor, MSK Sonographer & Clinic Director

Dean is a skilled Chiropractor with over a decade of experience, dedicated to providing exceptional chiropractic care. He earned his Chiropractic degree over 10 years ago after completing an intensive 4-year programme at the prestigious AECC University College in Bournemouth, renowned for its excellence in chiropractic education.

During his final clinical placement year, Dean honed his clinical expertise, preparing himself to graduate and serve in various musculoskeletal-based clinics across the UK.

After many years in private practice, Dean set up The Hanham Clinic in 2019 (formerly known as Skelian Chiropractic Clinic), after previously running an award winning clinic in Cheltenham where he was also the Clinic Co-Director.

Chiropractic care, to Dean, is a science-based discipline. His approach goes beyond symptom relief; he focuses on identifying and correcting the root cause of your discomfort. Dean understands that the point of pain isn’t always where the problem originates. In addition to his chiropractic expertise, Dean is also qualified in dry needling (medical acupuncture). He brings his pitch-side first aid experience, having previously worked with Bradford-on-Avon Rugby club, where he had the privilege of working under the guidance of ex-England Rugby International- Lewis Moody, the club coach at the time.

Dean is committed to staying current with his knowledge in healthcare. At the beginning of 2023, after 18 months of study, he obtained his post-graduate certification in Medical Ultrasound through the University of the West of England (UWE), specialising in diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound. His specialisation in diagnosing musculoskeletal conditions enhances his ability to provide comprehensive care as a practitioner.

Dean’s passion for health and wellness extends beyond his clinic. He grew up playing Rugby in Bristol and now actively participates with Yate RFC on weekends. You may also spot him competing in triathlons, attending CrossFit sessions in Warmley, and enjoying quality time with his wife and two children or taking leisurely walks with their Cocker Spaniel.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I genuinely couldn’t recommend Dean highly enough. From my very first appointment, he immediately put me at ease and made the whole process feel comfortable and straightforward. He always took the time to explain exactly what he was going to do and why, which gave me complete confidence throughout my treatment.

What really impressed me was how honest and upfront Dean was from the beginning. He gave me a realistic idea of how long he expected my treatment to take, without making unrealistic promises or trying to keep me coming back unnecessarily.

In fact, we actually completed my treatment earlier than expected and Dean was the one who told me I had reached the point where I no longer needed further appointments. He could have easily continued treatment and taken my money, but instead he was completely honest and put my wellbeing first. I think that says everything about the kind of professional he is.

I always felt listened to, comfortable and genuinely looked after throughout my appointments. Dean is a fantastic chiropractor who clearly takes pride in doing the right thing for his patients.

If you’re considering seeing a chiropractor, I would wholeheartedly recommend Dean and The Hanham Clinic. Fantastic service, completely transparent and genuinely patient-focused.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 5 stars for Hanham Clinic would recommend for back pain.

I was suffering with lower back pain and could not get a doctors appointment it took a 111 call to get them to see me in person.  In the meantime googled chiropractors and contacted Hanham Clinic as the reviews were good and local to where I live.

The Receptionist was really helpful and was able to offer me an appointment for the same day.  The pain in my back I could not sit or stand and was uncomfortably painful and not sleeping.  Kyla has been amazing after 6 weeks I have got more movement and definitely in less pain would say 80% improvement, still doing the exercises suggested twice a day and each day is getting easier.  I have decided to continue to have regular check ups next one in a few weeks time.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Dean and The Hanham Clinic. I needed 2 rounds of ultrasound guided cortisone injections for my thumb tendons. Dean who gave me the injections was very friendly, skilled and professional and talked me through every part of the procedure. Even when there was miscommunication regarding my 2nd injection, Dean gave me the injection for free.
Very happy I chose The Hanham Clinic

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend The Hanham Clinic enough.  Kyla continues to keep my back and neck mobile - I feel so much brighter after a treatment.  At previous appointments she also recommended exercises to help, which I hadn’t done so regularly lately.  I’ve begun my exercise regime again Kyla and they’re already making a difference.  Nicki the receptionist helped me download the App so I can book/change my appointments; much appreciated being of the older age group!  Thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. MSK ultrasound scan booked 24 hours after calf injury and detailed results received with 24 hours of the scan.

Monika Dobrowolska was my clinician and all the way through the experience she kept me informed of the process whilst detailing exactly what she was doing and talking me through what the scan was revealing as it happened.

The report also covered a detailed rehab plan which will help me to full recovery in the shortest possible timeframe

Thank you Monika and Hanham clinic - I will be back
