Visiting Sports Medicine specialist, expert in advanced injection therapies & ultrasound-guided procedures
Dr. Dinesh Sirisena is a Sports and Exercise Medicine consultant with over 20 years experience treating athletes and active individuals across the UK and Singapore. Triple fellowship-trained (UK, Singapore, US) and author of Musculoskeletal
Ultrasound Guided Procedures in Sports Medicine, Dr. Dinesh specializes in advanced diagnostic imaging, ultrasound-guided injections. His approach combines minimally invasive procedures with exercise prescription to optimize recovery,
prevent injury recurrence, and manage chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
Dr Dinesh offers a monthly specialist clinic at UPANDRUNNING Dubai.
COMMON CONDITIONS DR. DINESH TREATS:
Chronic Tendon Pain That Won & Heal Tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, rotator cuff pain, jumper & knee. Dr. Dinesh offers advanced options including PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, prolotherapy, and high-volume injections to stimulate natural healing.
Arthritis Pain in Knees, Hips, or Shoulders
When joint pain limits your daily activities or exercise, hyaluronic acid injections (viscosupplementation) can restore joint lubrication, reduce pain, and improve movement for months at a time. Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) Can & lift your arm? Struggling with basic tasks like getting dressed? Hydrodilatation injections can rapidly restore shoulder movement when standard treatment has
failed.
Sports Injuries That Keep Coming Back
Ligament sprains, muscle tears, or unstable joints that re-injure easily. Dr. Dinesh uses ultrasound-guided prolotherapy and PRP to strengthen damaged tissues and prevent recurrence. Inflammation That Needs Precision Treatment Bursitis, plantar fasciitis, trigger finger, or inflamed tendons. Ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections deliver medication exactly where it & needed for rapid pain relief.

WHEN TO BOOK:
INJECTION PROCEDURES OFFERED:
Corticosteroid (Steroid) Injections
Corticosteroid injections are a common and effective treatment used to reduce inflammation and pain in a specific area of the body. They typically combine a corticosteroid (a powerful anti-inflammatory medicine) with a local anaesthetic (numbing agent).
Prolotherapy Injections
Prolotherapy, short for “proliferative therapy” is an injection technique that aims to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. It involves injecting a mild irritant solution, most commonly a dextrose (sugar) solution, into a painful joint, ligament, or tendon.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections
PRP therapy uses your own blood to promote healing. A small sample of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, which contain powerful growth factors. This concentrated solution is then injected into the injured area.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Injections (Viscosupplementation)
Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance found in healthy joint fluid. In conditions like osteoarthritis, this fluid thins. HA injections, also known as viscosupplementation, aim to supplement the joint fluid, acting as a lubricant and shock absorber.
High Volume Injections (HVI) and Hydrodilatations
These procedures involve injecting a large volume of fluid (a mixture of local anaesthetic, saline, and sometimes corticosteroid) to physically separate or stretch
tissues.
