Joint injection

A joint injection is using a needle to inject a medication directly into a joint, such as a knee. Medications can include corticosteroids (sometimes called “cortisone”) and hyaluronic acid. Joint injections can decrease pain, inflammation, swelling, and stiffness.

We offer joint injection as part of treatment modality for painful musculoskeletal conditions such as severe arthritis of the knees and shoulder, trigger finger, or dequervains synovitis.
