How do joint injections work?

Corticosteroids reduce inflammation in the joint to relieve pain and stiffness. Hyaluronic acid helps lubricate and cushion the joint, improving comfort and mobility. Injections may be ultrasound-guided for precision.

Which conditions are joint injections used for?

Common indications include osteoarthritis, frozen shoulder/subacromial pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, De Quervain’s, peroneal tenosynovitis, plantar fasciitis, patellar tendinopathy, IT band syndrome, medial tibial stress syndrome, proximal hamstring and gluteal tendinopathy, lateral and medial epicondylitis, and trigger finger.

How long do results last?

Steroid injections often improve symptoms within 24–48 hours and can last weeks to months. Hyaluronic acid may take longer to reach full effect, with benefits that can last several months.

Are injections guided by ultrasound?

Yes, injections can be performed using landmark guidance or ultrasound guidance. Ultrasound guidance is used for greater precision and safety, particularly for deeper or complex joints.

What is included in the price?

The initial assessment cost is included in injection prices listed for landmark corticosteroid, ultrasound-guided corticosteroid, and ultrasound-guided hyaluronic acid injections.

Consultation and Assessment: Your healthcare provider will carefully assess your condition, medical history, and treatment goals to decide on the best treatment plan.
Injection Procedure: The injection will be delivered directly into the affected joint. An injection may require the use of Ultrasound Imagery as a guided technique. This guarantees the location of the injection delivery making it more effective in some cases.
Post-Injection Care: You might feel temporary discomfort or swelling at the injection site, which can be alleviated with ice, rest, and over-the-counter pain relievers.
Rehabilitation and Follow-up: Your clinician may suggest physical therapy or rehabilitation exercises to enhance the benefits of the injections and aid in restoring optimal joint function

The effects of steroid and hyaluronic acid injections can last for different lengths of time, depending on factors such as the severity of your condition, the joint or area treated, and how your body responds to the treatment. Steroid Injections:

Following the injection, most patients notice a decrease in pain and inflammation within 24 to 48 hours.
The effects of a steroid injection usually last anywhere from a few weeks to several months, with relief varying depending on the condition's severity, the injection site, and individual response.

Hyaluronic Acid Injections:

Hyaluronic acid injections typically take a little longer to reach their full effect.
Patients can expect improved joint mobility and pain relief within a few weeks.
These injections usually provide longer-lasting results than steroid injections, often lasting between six months to a year, making them a popular option for individuals with chronic joint issues.

* Most people respond well to treatment, but everybody is unique, and results can vary. Side effects are uncommon, and your therapist will talk you through everything before your injection to make sure you feel comfortable and informed.
