Intra-Articular Injection
Osteoarthritis is a common degenerative joint disease that can affect nearly any joint in the body, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
At Dr. Health Medical Clinic, we provide intra-articular injections as an effective treatment option to alleviate the symptoms of osteoarthritis. By administering medications directly into the affected joint, we can offer significant pain relief and improved joint function.
Treatment Options
Our clinic utilizes two main types of intra-articular injections to manage osteoarthritis pain:
Steroid Injections
Corticosteroids are powerful anti-inflammatory medications that can provide rapid relief from joint pain and inflammation.
Hyaluronic Acid Injections (e.g., Durolane)
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in joint fluid that helps lubricate and cushion the joint, reducing pain and improving mobility.
Our Approach
We prioritize patient comfort and safety in all procedures. Our intra-articular injections are performed using a pain-free and aseptic technique to minimize discomfort and prevent infection. The procedure is quick, and patients can often return to their daily activities shortly after:
- Pain-Free Technique: We employ methods to minimize discomfort during the injection, ensuring a comfortable experience for our patients.
- Aseptic Technique: Strict sterile protocols are followed to prevent infection and ensure the highest safety standards during the procedure.
Benefits of Intra-Articular Injections
- Targeted Relief: Directly addressing the pain source in the joint provides more effective relief compared to oral medications.
- Quick Results: Many patients experience a reduction in pain and improved joint function shortly after the injection.
- Minimal Side Effects: When performed by experienced professionals, intra-articular injections have a low risk of complications.
What to Expect
Before recommending an intra-articular injection, our medical team will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the most appropriate treatment for your condition. The procedure itself is quick, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort. Following the injection, you may be advised to rest the affected joint and avoid strenuous activities for a short period to maximize the treatment benefits.
