Joint Injections are a treatment option used to relieve pain and inflammation in specific joints, commonly in conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or bursitis. They can help improve mobility and overall joint function. During the procedure, a healthcare provider injects medication directly into the affected joint space. The injections typically contain either a corticosteroid, which reduces inflammation and pain, or hyaluronic acid, which helps lubricate the joint. The procedure is usually quick and can be done in an outpatient setting. Many patients experience relief shortly after the injection, although it may take a few days for the full effects to be felt. The pain relief can last from several weeks to months, depending on the type of injection and the individual’s condition. Joint injections are often considered when other treatments, like physical therapy or oral medications, haven’t provided sufficient relief. They can be a valuable option to help manage joint pain and enhance your quality of life.
