Cortisone Injections
A cortisone injection delivers a powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly to the source of your pain. It calms irritated tissues and joints, offering relief that can last for months. While a steroid injection will not last forever, our goal is to provide enough relief so you can begin your path to recovery.
Why cortisone can help
Cortisone is a synthetic version of a hormone your body produces naturally. It works by flooding the inflamed area and silencing the chemical signals that cause swelling, redness, and pain.
Conditions Cortisone Treats
Cortisone Injections can be applied across multiple pain conditions
Types of Injections
Not all pain is the same. Our targeted injection treatments are designed to reduce pain, calm inflammation, and improve movement.
Bursa injections
Bursa injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication into an irritated bursa, a small fluid-filled sac that cushions the joints. They can help reduce pain and swelling
Joint injections
Joint injections place medication directly into a painful or inflamed joint. They may reduce inflammation and improve mobility.
Nerve blocks
Nerve blocks deliver medication around a specific nerve to reduce pain signals. They may be used to relieve pain, identify its source, or help calm an irritated nerve.
Trigger points
Trigger point injections treat tight, painful knots within the muscles. The injection helps relax the muscle, reduce tenderness, and improve movement.
Non-Steroid Injections:
Trigger Point Injections
For trigger point injections, cortisone is usually not necessary because the problem is a tight, irritated muscle rather than joint inflammation. We use a small amount of local anesthetic to help the muscle relax, interrupt the pain cycle, and restore normal blood flow. This treatment is used for painful muscle knots that can be felt beneath the skin.
