Joint Injections

Joint injections are minimally invasive treatments designed to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility in joints throughout the body. These injections are tailored to the patient's needs, with different medications and techniques used depending on the joint and condition.

What are Joint Injections?

Joint injections involve the precise administration of therapeutic agents into joints to address pain and inflammation. They are commonly used for conditions like arthritis, joint injuries, and overuse syndromes.

Medications Used

• Botox (Botulinum Toxin): Relaxes muscles and reduces spasticity in certain conditions.

• Steroids (Cortisone): Potent anti-inflammatory agents to reduce swelling and pain.

• Hyaluronic Acid: Restores lubrication in arthritic joints to improve movement.

• Platelet Rich Plasma: Platelets and growth factors derived from your own blood that are injected to promote inflammation and healing.

• Lidocaine: Provides immediate pain relief by numbing the joint.

Benefits of Joint Injections

• Pain Relief: Reduces discomfort in affected joints.

• Improved Mobility: Restores range of motion and function.

• Minimally Invasive: Quick procedure with minimal recovery time.

Preparation & Post-Care

• Before the Procedure: Avoid lotions or creams on the area to be treated. Inform your provider of any medications or allergies.

• After the Procedure: Rest the joint for 24-48 hours to allow the medication to take effect. Apply ice as needed to reduce any swelling or soreness.
