The Facts About Joint Injections
When necessary, we use joint injections to reduce inflammation or swelling of tissue in your joints. Once the swelling is minimized, you will notice reduced pain and other symptoms caused by the inflammation or irritation of your joint and surrounding structures.
Joint injections are used to treat inflammatory joint conditions such as; rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, tendonitis, bursitis, and occasionally osteoarthritis.
Typically we will inject a natural, 100% NON-STEROIDAL, plant-based solution used as an alternative to steroids or cortisone injections into your joint to relieve pain and discomfort. It may take a few days to a few weeks to feel significant pain relief. The Joint injection is quick, and the results can last up to several months.
Viscosupplementation Injections
Viscosupplementation injections are used to treat osteoarthritis of the knee as well as chronic and acute knee pain. For those suffering from knee pain that does not respond to other traditional methods, these injections have proven to be a highly effective method for knee pain relief.
