What are Joint Injections?

Joint injections involve delivering medication directly into an affected joint. This localized approach allows for a higher concentration of medication where it’s needed most, leading to more targeted and often quicker relief than oral medications. Common medications used include:

  • Corticosteroids: Powerful anti-inflammatory medications that reduce swelling and pain.
  • Hyaluronic Acid (Viscosupplementation): Often used for knee osteoarthritis, these injections replenish the natural lubricating fluid in the joint, improving cushioning and reducing friction.
  • Local Anesthetics: May be combined with other medications to provide immediate pain relief.

Conditions Treated with Joint Injections

Joint injections can provide significant relief for various conditions, including:

  • Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease affecting knees, hips, shoulders, and other joints.
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis: An inflammatory autoimmune disease.
  • Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae (fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints).
  • Tendinitis: Inflammation of tendons.
  • Gout: A form of inflammatory arthritis.
  • Other Joint Inflammations or Injuries: As determined by your healthcare provider.

The Joint Injection Process at Fatade Health & Medical Center

During your visit, our healthcare provider will:

  1. Assess Your Condition: A thorough examination and review of your medical history will determine if a joint injection is appropriate.
  2. Locate the Joint: We may use anatomical landmarks or, in some cases, ultrasound guidance for precise needle placement.
  3. Administer the Injection: The medication is injected directly into the joint space.
  4. Provide Aftercare Instructions: You’ll receive guidance on post-injection care and what to expect.

The procedure is generally quick, and many patients experience relief within a few days.
