Steroid Injections
Minimally Invasive Joint Injections
Joint injections (also known as steroid injections) are a minimally invasive, alternative way to reduce pain and inflammation in the joints. A joint injection can contain one of two ingredients: a corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid (HA). All of these are designed to lubricate the joint, reduce symptoms for several months at a time, and can even help to preserve the structure and function of the joint. Joint injections are also less likely to produce negative side effects when compared with other types of steroid treatments.
Not sure if joint injections are right for you? We can help you determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment. If you are seeking an injection for joint pain, make an appointment with Bartolomucci Family Medicine online or by calling our office today!
