Injection Therapy in Musculoskeletal Care: Evidence, Safety & Modern Approaches
Description
Welcome back to the Complete Physio Podcast. In this episode, Chris sits down with sports Dr. Lorenzo, someone he's worked with for years, to talk about all things injection therapy, what’s being used, when it helps, and what the evidence really says.
They cover how the use of cortisone (steroid) injections has changed over the years, why hyaluronic acid and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) are gaining traction, and when it might be worth considering stem cell options. They also talk through the risks, when these treatments actually make sense, and how they fit alongside rehab and exercise.
Whether you're a GP, physiotherapist, or MSK clinician, this is a down-to-earth chat packed with clinical insight — all based on real-world experience and current thinking.
