What are Major Joint Injections?
Major joint injections involve injecting medication directly into the affected joint. These injections typically include a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation and a local anesthetic to provide immediate pain relief.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for Major Joint Injections?
This treatment can be beneficial for individuals experiencing pain and inflammation in major joints such as:
- Knees: Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions can cause knee pain and stiffness.
- Hips: Hip pain can be caused by arthritis, bursitis, and tendonitis.
- Shoulders: Shoulder pain can arise from rotator cuff injuries, arthritis, and bursitis.
- Ankles: Ankle pain can be due to sprains, arthritis, and tendonitis.
Major joint injections are often recommended for individuals who:
- Have not found relief with conservative treatments like physical therapy and oral medications.
- Are not yet candidates for surgery or want to delay surgical intervention.
- Experience significant pain and inflammation that limits their daily activities.
Benefits of Major Joint Injections
- Reduced pain and inflammation: Corticosteroids effectively reduce inflammation within the joint, leading to significant pain relief.
- Improved mobility: Reduced pain and inflammation can improve joint function and range of motion, allowing you to move more freely.
- Delayed surgery: These injections can help postpone or even eliminate the need for surgery in some cases.
- Quick and minimally invasive: The procedure is relatively quick and minimally invasive, with minimal downtime.
