Joint Injections

Helping Your Pain

Joint Injections provide rapid pain relief and are especially effective for the treatment osteoarthritis, bursitis and of all types of Inflammatory arthritis. 


Steroid joint injections are most common and can help with improving pain and swelling by treating the underlying joint inflammation.  Many times, symptoms can start to improve almost immediately.  


Sometimes fluid is also removed from the joint to help your physician accurately diagnose the cause of cause of joint swelling and for concurrent therapeutic relief.


The risks for joint aspirations and injections are minimal. Infection, bleeding, and other major risks are rare.
