Joint Injections for Pain Relief
Pain injections for the joints offer a minimally invasive option for pain relief without the need for surgery. Some injections, like platelet-rich plasma injections, provide additional benefits because they are free of steroids and contain naturally occurring substances (such as blood platelets and stem cells) to help reduce inflammation.
Benefits of Joint Injections
Joint injections are used to treat pain in the hip, knee, and shoulder related to:
- Osteoarthritis
- Injury
- Stress from poor mechanics
- Tendonitis
- Degenerative arthritis
Joint injections can also be used to determine the cause of pain. For example, if an anesthetic solution is injected into the hip joint and the patient experiences pain relief in the leg, this may indicate that the hip is the source of pain.
