Joint Injections
Service Description
Our joint injection service is a medical procedure that involves the precise administration of medication directly into a specific joint to alleviate pain, inflammation, and improve joint function. This treatment is commonly used for individuals with conditions such as arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, or joint injuries. During the joint injection procedure, you can expect the following: 1. Evaluation and Diagnosis: Our experienced healthcare provider will carefully assess your joint pain, medical history, and conduct a physical examination to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your condition. 2. Informed Consent: Before the procedure, you will receive detailed information about the joint injection, its benefits, potential risks, and side effects. You will have the opportunity to ask any questions and provide your informed consent. 3. Preparation: The area around the joint will be cleaned and sterilized to reduce the risk of infection. 4. Numbing the Area: In some cases, a local anesthetic may be used to numb the skin and tissues near the joint, ensuring your comfort during the injection. 5. Precise Injection: Using advanced techniques and guidance, our healthcare professional will carefully insert a thin needle into the affected joint and administer the medication directly to the targeted area. 6. Medication Used: The joint injection typically includes a combination of a corticosteroid, which reduces inflammation and pain, and a local anesthetic for immediate relief. 7. Post-Injection Care: After the procedure, you will be given instructions on how to care for the injection site and manage any temporary discomfort. It's essential to avoid excessive strain on the joint following the injection. 8. Follow-Up: Depending on your response to the joint injection, our healthcare team may schedule a follow-up appointment to assess your progress and determine if additional treatments or therapies are needed to support your joint health. Our joint injection service aims to provide targeted and effective pain relief, reducing inflammation and improving your joint's mobility and function. We are committed to helping you find relief from joint pain, enhance your quality of life, and support you in resuming your daily activities with greater comfort and mobility.
