Joint injections may look scary, but they are NOT! If you are suffering from chronic pain, keep reading.
What conditions can joint injections treat?
Joint injections are commonly used to treat arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, and joint inflammation caused by injury or overuse. They’re also effective for treating lower back pain, neck pain, and other joint-related conditions. Depending on your diagnosis, we may recommend a specific type of injection, such as facet joint or sacroiliac joint injections, to address your pain.
Are joint injections painful?
The injection process is typically fast and involves minimal discomfort. For added comfort, we use advanced imaging techniques like ultrasound or fluoroscopy to precisely guide the injection. Many patients report only mild pressure or a brief pinch during the procedure.
How long does the relief from joint injections last?
The duration of relief varies between patients and the underlying condition being treated. Some patients experience months of pain relief after a single treatment, while others may require follow-up injections for extended benefits. Your care plan will be tailored to your specific needs.
