Joint Injections
Nonsurgical Relief for Osteoarthritis and Joint Inflammation
Joint Injections are a highly effective treatment for patients suffering from chronic pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the major joints of the body. By delivering specialized medication directly into the joint capsule, our specialists can provide rapid relief and improve your overall range of motion without the need for surgery.
Therapeutic Treatment for Major Joints
Whether caused by sports injuries, age-related wear and tear, or osteoarthritis, joint injections are commonly utilized for:
- Knee Joint Injections (Viscosupplementation or Corticosteroids)
- Shoulder Injections (Rotator Cuff or Bursitis relief)
- Hip Joint Injections (Addressing deep-seated hip pain)
- Small Joint Injections (Wrists, ankles, and hands)
What to Expect
To ensure maximum safety and clinical accuracy, all injections are performed under high-resolution ultrasound or fluoroscopic (X-ray) guidance.
Targeted Anti-Inflammatory
A corticosteroid is often used to reduce swelling and inflammation within the joint, providing significant long-term relief.
Viscosupplementation
For knee osteoarthritis, hyaluronic acid (a lubricating fluid) can be injected to "cushion" the joint and reduce bone-on-bone friction.
Benefits of Joint Injections
- Immediate Pain Reduction: Local anesthetic provides fast relief, while steroids work to calm inflammation over time.
- Improved Mobility: Reducing pain and swelling allows you to return to walking, exercising, and daily activities.
- Delayed Surgery: Many patients can successfully manage joint pain for years, delaying or avoiding the need for joint replacement.
- In-Office Procedure: The process is quick, virtually painless, and requires no downtime.
Are You a Candidate?
If you have localized joint pain that has not responded to rest, physical therapy, or over-the-counter anti-inflammatories, a joint injection may be the next step in your recovery plan.
