Cheadle Medical Practice provides a range of NHS services from our GP and Nurse teams. Among these services, minor operations (also known as minor surgery) and joint injections play a vital role in treating various conditions effectively and efficiently. Here’s everything you need to know about how these procedures work at one of the best GP practices in Stockport for Minor Operations and Joint Injections.
Understanding Minor Operations / Minor Surgery
What Are Minor Operations?
Minor operations refer to simple surgical procedures performed under local anesthesia in your local NHS GP practice. These can include the removal of skin lesions, drainage of abscesses, and minor excisions. They are typically performed in our practice, allowing for convenient and quick treatment without the need for hospital admission.
Why Are Minor Operations Important?
Minor operations can significantly improve your quality of life by addressing health issues that may cause discomfort or pose risks if left untreated. Early intervention can prevent complications and facilitate faster recovery.
Joint Injections Explained
What Are Joint Injections?
Joint injections involve administering medication directly into a joint to relieve pain and inflammation. Commonly treated joints include the knees, hips, and shoulders. These injections can contain corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid, depending on your specific condition.
Why Are Joint Injections Beneficial?
Joint injections can provide rapid relief from pain associated with arthritis, bursitis, or tendinitis. They can improve mobility, enhance physical activity levels, and allow patients to engage in everyday activities with less discomfort.
Who Is Eligible for These Procedures?
Both minor operations and joint injections are suitable for a wide range of patients. If you have a skin issue requiring treatment or are experiencing joint pain, consult with our healthcare team by submitting an online ticket. We will assess your condition and determine the most appropriate course of action for your specific needs.
