High Volume Achilles Tendon Injection in Loughton
A high volume injection is a specialist treatment for persistent mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy, a common cause of ongoing pain and stiffness at the back of the ankle. At our Loughton clinic, the procedure is guided in real time using ultrasound to target the affected area precisely.
This treatment is often considered when Achilles pain has not settled with rehabilitation alone, and it works alongside an ongoing exercise programme rather than replacing it.
About High Volume Achilles Tendon Injection
A high volume injection involves introducing a larger volume of fluid, typically saline with a local anaesthetic, to the space between the Achilles tendon and its surrounding tissue. The aim is to reduce the abnormal blood vessels and nerves associated with tendon pain.
Ultrasound guidance allows your clinician to place the injection accurately alongside the tendon and to monitor the procedure on screen.

What to Expect at Your Appointment
After confirming that a high volume injection is suitable for you, your clinician cleans the area and uses ultrasound to locate the precise target alongside the Achilles tendon.
The injection is delivered under real-time imaging. The procedure is usually well tolerated.
You will receive clear aftercare advice and a rehabilitation plan, as continuing your exercise programme is an important part of recovery.
