INJECTION THERAPY IN BIRMINGHAM
At Ophysio, we view Injection Therapy in Birmingham as a powerful tool for alleviating pain, enhancing physical function, and ultimately improving your overall quality of life.
We specialise in addressing musculoskeletal issues, particularly those involving injuries to joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons, and nerves. These injuries can stem from various causes, such as a specific traumatic event—like twisting an ankle during a football match or dislocating a shoulder in a cycling accident. Injuries can also occur when the body is subjected to excessive strain before it has developed the necessary strength to handle it, such as attempting to run long distances without proper conditioning.
While people often seek Injection Therapy when dealing with pain or injury, it can also play a vital role in preventing future issues. By targeting underlying physical deficits, we can help reduce your risk of injury, especially if you’re embarking on a new sport or exercise regime.
So, whether you’re dealing with pain or injury—be it from prolonged sitting at your desk or a sports-related incident—or if you simply wish to improve your physical condition and performance, we are here to support you at Ophysio in Birmingham.

What to expect at our clinics in Birmingham?

When you come in for Injection Therapy at our Birmingham clinic, your initial visit will begin with a thorough consultation to understand your current problem and how it affects your daily life and activities.
Your physiotherapist will ask about any previous injuries, your overall medical history, and your physical goals. This detailed discussion helps us understand the broader context of your condition. Following this, a physical examination will be conducted to identify the specific anatomical structures that are causing your pain and to uncover any contributing factors, such as muscle weakness or biomechanical issues.
Based on the findings, your physiotherapist will discuss potential treatment options with you, including how Injection Therapy can be used to meet your specific goals. The treatment plan will be carefully tailored to your needs, ensuring that it aligns with your recovery and lifestyle objectives.
In follow-up sessions, we will continue to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. This ensures that your therapy remains effective and responsive to how your condition evolves over time, helping you achieve the best possible outcome.
Ostenil Steroid Injection in Birmingham
Ostenil steroid injections are a highly effective treatment option for relieving joint pain and inflammation, particularly in cases of osteoarthritis. This injection contains hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance found in the synovial fluid of joints. Ostenil works by restoring the natural balance of the joint fluid, enhancing its lubricating and shock-absorbing properties. This helps to reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and slow down the progression of osteoarthritis. Ostenil injections are commonly used for conditions affecting the knee, hip, shoulder, and other large joints, providing patients with significant pain relief and improved quality of life. At Ophysio in Birmingham, our experienced physiotherapists administer Ostenil injections as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient.

He approaches his work with care and a wholehearted effort to achieve results for the patient. Top notch. Ozzy Asad2025-06-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best physio I been to I play cricket suffered from a injury and thought I’d be out for weeks but mr shah worked his magic and I was playing a few days later highly recommended guys best in the game hamzah masud2025-06-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Qasim with an ongoing ankle sprain issue that had been flaring up on and off for a couple of years. He quickly identified the areas that needed work and gave me simple, effective exercises I could do at home to build strength. As my ankle improved, he gradually increased the intensity of the exercises to target other movements like jumping and running. He also helped relieve the pain during our sessions using massage, acupuncture, and deep tissue work on my calves to ease the stiffness I had when I first came in. The whole process was straightforward and easy to follow. I'm now back to 100% and able to comfortably play the sports I enjoy. juned hussain2025-05-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Life-Changing Treatment – Shoulder Pain Gone After 2 Years! I had been struggling with constant shoulder pain for over 2 years – it affected my sleep, work, and even simple daily activities. After trying different treatments with little success, I finally decided to book in for a shoulder injection and rehabilitation. Honestly, I wish I had done this sooner! From the very first appointment, the care and professionalism were outstanding. The injection was quick and almost painless, and the physio guided me through a personalised rehab programme that actually made sense and delivered results. Within weeks, I noticed a huge improvement. Now, I’m completely pain-free and have full mobility back – something I hadn’t experienced in years. If you’re in pain and unsure where to turn, I can’t recommend this place highly enough. It’s not just treatment, it’s a total recovery plan. Thank you for giving me my shoulder – and my life – back!

Not only excellent, but there when you need them Abdul-Jabbar Ali2025-05-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Optimum Physio (Qasim Shah) booked a consulting room with First Medical Consultants in August 2024. We have continually requested payment from this company for the outstanding invoice but have been lied to and ignored on numerous occsssions. I would recommend people to be vary cautious about giving your hard earned cash to this dodgy company. Thomas Virtanen2025-04-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Edit 17.4.2025: Due to a ClassPass problem my original reservation didn't show up in Optimum Physio reservation system and hence the office was closed and didn't get any service that day. However, Qasim fixed the situation and booked me another time to physiotherapy and I received a good tension relieving massage coupled with acupuncture that opened up my shoulder / back muscles and I feel a lot better now. Will definitely come again. Javed Pupar2025-04-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Physio place is good, decent size. Qasim Shah is experience Physio, he knows his stuff.
