What are Joint Injections?
Joint Injections are used to manage pain, inflammation, and discomfort in the joints, particularly for individuals with conditions like arthritis, joint inflammation, or injuries.
Types of Joint Injections:
- Corticosteroid Injections:
-
- These are commonly used to treat joint inflammation, especially for conditions like arthritis. Corticosteroids help to reduce swelling, pain, and inflammation, providing relief that can last for weeks or even months.
- Hyaluronic Acid Injections:
-
- These are used primarily for osteoarthritis, especially in knee joints. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that naturally occurs in the joint fluid and helps with lubrication and shock absorption. Injections help to improve joint function and reduce pain.
- PRP/PRF (Platelet-Rich Plasma; Platelet Rich Fibrin) Injections:
-
- This treatment uses a patient’s own blood, which is processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors. The PRP is then injected into the joint to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation, promoting tissue repair and reducing pain.
