Joint Injection Therapy involves injecting medication directly into a joint to reduce pain, and inflammation, and improve joint function. It is commonly used for conditions like arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, and other joint-related issues.
The most common medications used in joint injections include corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, hyaluronic acid to lubricate the joint, and in some cases, anesthetics to provide immediate pain relief.
Joint injections can be administered in various joints, including the knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, wrist, ankle, and small joints of the hands and feet. The specific joint treated depends on the patient’s condition.
The duration of relief from joint injections varies. Corticosteroid injections can provide relief for several weeks to months, while hyaluronic acid injections may offer benefits for up to six months or longer.
The procedure may cause some discomfort, similar to a typical injection. However, a local anaesthetic is often used to numb the area, and the discomfort usually subsides quickly after the injection.
While generally safe, joint injections can have side effects such as temporary pain or swelling at the injection site, infection, allergic reactions, or, rarely, joint damage with repeated use of corticosteroids.
Candidates for Joint Injection Therapy include individuals with joint pain due to arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, or injury who have not found sufficient relief from other treatments like physical therapy or oral medications.
You may be advised to avoid certain medications, like blood thinners, before the procedure. Wear loose clothing that allows easy access to the joint, and inform your healthcare provider of any allergies or health conditions.
After the injection, you may experience temporary soreness or swelling. It’s recommended to rest the joint for a day or two, apply ice if needed, and follow any specific instructions from your healthcare provider.
You may need to avoid strenuous activities for a few days following the injection to allow the joint to heal. Your healthcare provider will give you specific guidance based on the joint treatment and your situation.
