Joint Injection Procedure:

  • To maintain sterility, the patient is positioned correctly, and the area around the injection site is cleansed.
  • Before the injection, a local anaesthetic may occasionally be used to numb the area.
  • The medical professional places a needle into the joint space under the direction of imaging technology like ultrasonography or fluoroscopy.
  • A gradual injection of the medicine is made into the joint. A corticosteroid for anti-inflammatory benefits and a local anaesthetic for rapid pain relief may be combined in the injection.
  • Following the injection, the patient is typically watched closely for a short period of time, and they might be told to refrain from intense activity for a day or two.

Purposes of Joint Injections:

  • Joint injections can reduce joint inflammation and offer short- or long-term pain relief
  • Joint injections may occasionally be able to identify the cause of discomfort or inflammation. 
  • Moreover, certain disorders including arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, or synovitis may be treated with joint injections.
