PAIN MANAGEMENT
STEROID INJECTIONS
At Healand Clinic, we offer steroid injections (or cortisone injections) as a means of pain management.
Steroid injections involve the precise administration of corticosteroids mixed with a local anesthetic into the affected joint or surrounding tissue to alleviate inflammation and pain.
WHAT ARE STEROID INJECTIONS?
Steroid injections, also referred to as cortisone injections, are a treatment option often recommended for patients experiencing chronic joint pain, particularly those with conditions like arthritis.
These injections can provide significant relief by reducing inflammation and alleviating pain in the affected joint. Individuals who have undergone a thorough consultation and have been diagnosed with conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other inflammatory joint disorders may benefit from steroid injections.
WHO COULD BENEFIT FROM STEROID INJECTIONS?
Patients experiencing chronic joint pain, often associated with conditions like arthritis, may be advised to consider steroid injections for pain relief.
These injections are frequently prescribed to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation in affected joints, offering a targeted approach to managing the symptoms of arthritis and related conditions.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE TREATMENT?
During steroid injection treatment, a local anesthetic is initially administered to numb the area, ensuring patient comfort.
Following this, a corticosteroid, often mixed with a numbing agent like lidocaine, is carefully injected into the affected joint or the tissue surrounding it.
This precise delivery targets the source of inflammation, providing relief by reducing swelling and pain directly at the site of the joint.
This process not only helps alleviate immediate discomfort but also aims to improve joint function over time by minimizing inflammation.
After the injection, patients are briefly monitored to ensure there are no immediate adverse reactions, and they are given guidance on post-treatment care to optimize the effectiveness of the procedure
