Joint injections can help reduce pain and inflammation while improving mobility for many orthopedic conditions. The type of injection that's right for you depends on your diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment goals.
Common orthopedic injections include:
- Corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation and provide temporary pain relief
- Hyaluronic acid injections to improve joint lubrication, particularly for certain cases of knee arthritis
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections that use components of your own blood to support the body's natural healing response
- Diagnostic or therapeutic anesthetic injections to help identify the source of pain and provide short-term relief
