Joint injections,
placed precisely.

We perform injections for the knee, hip, shoulder and sacroiliac joint, as well as nearby structures such as bursae when they are the source of pain. An examination, and diagnostic ultrasound when useful, help confirm which structure is involved before anything is injected.

Hyaluronic acid may be considered for knee arthritis where appropriate. A corticosteroid may be used when it's needed to calm a flare of inflammation, and it is never the automatic first choice. Regenerative options such as PRP may be an alternative for selected joints and tendons.

The skin is cleaned, the target is confirmed with imaging, and the injection takes a few minutes. Procedures are image-guided, using ultrasound or X-ray guidance depending on the target. Most people walk out and return to light activity the same or next day.

An injection can quiet pain enough to make strengthening and movement possible, which is where lasting change usually comes from. Results vary, and no outcome is promised. Joint replacement or other surgery is considered only when it is truly needed.
