Joint Injections Q & A

What are joint injections?

Joint injections relieve pain and inflammation caused by arthritis or other joint-related issues. Consider joint injections if you regularly experience joint pain and it doesn’t improve with at-home treatments, like ice and rest. A series of outpatient treatments can reduce swelling, encourage circulation, and promote your body’s natural healing process.

What conditions can benefit from joint injections?

Request a joint injection consultation at Medical Associates of North Texas if you experience any of the following symptoms:

  • Knee pain
  • Wrist pain
  • Elbow pain
  • Shoulder pain
  • Ankle pain
  • Hip pain
  • Neck pain

You might also benefit from joint injections if you experience lower back pain.

What are the types of joint injections?

At Medical Associates of North Texas, the primary care providers offer steroid joint injections.

Cortisone

Cortisone is a prescription-strength steroid designed to relieve joint swelling and inflammation. The providers at Medical Associates of North Texas use cortisone to treat severe arthritis. Cortisone injections provide immediate, lasting relief that can help delay orthopedic surgery.

What type of joint injections might benefit me?

The type of joint injections that will most benefit you depends on various factors, including your age, the symptoms you’re experiencing, and their effect on your mobility. After a review of your medical records, a physical exam, and diagnostic imaging, your provider can make recommendations that align with your needs.
