FAQs
Am I a Candidate?
Joint injections may be for you if you are experiencing chronic joint pain, inflammation, or limited mobility due to conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, tendonitis, or ligament injuries. These injections are also considered when other conservative measures fail. A benefit to join injections is that they are personalized to each patient’s needs, making a treatment plan that works for you.
What should I expect with this procedure?
Patients will typically have a consultation to determine whether or not joint injections are the best method to alleviate pain and lessen their other symptoms. During the joint injection procedure, you should expect it to be a quick and relatively pain-less procedure. Patients should expect to return to day-to-day activities right after the procedure, but it is recommended that patients avoid strenuous activity requiring the injected joint for a day or two.
How long do the results last?
Patients will begin to feel relief a few days to a week post-procedure. These results will typically last for several months and up to a year in some cases; keep in mind that results will vary amongst patients and their cases. The frequency of joint injections varies depending on the specific condition and patient response. Joint injections are generally safe, but they can be associated with minor side effects such as temporary pain or swelling at the injection site.
