Intra-Articular Injections
Our team of experienced healthcare providers are dedicated to helping patients find relief from joint pain and inflammation through a variety of treatment options, including joint injections. Whether you are dealing with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other joint disorders, we are here to help you find the right treatment plan to manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Read on to learn more about joint injections and how they can help you get back to the activities you love.
Intra-articular injections, also known as Joint Injections, involve injecting medication directly into the joint space. These injections can provide relief for patients experiencing pain and inflammation caused by a variety of conditions, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory joint disorders.
At Coastal MD, joint injections of the knee can help our patients in several ways. First and foremost, these injections can help reduce pain and inflammation in the knee joint, which can significantly improve a patient's quality of life. This is particularly important for patients who are experiencing chronic knee pain and have not found relief from other treatments.
In addition to reducing pain and inflammation, joint injections of the knee can also help improve joint function. By reducing inflammation and swelling, these injections can help improve mobility and range of motion in the knee joint, allowing patients to move more freely and engage in activities they may have previously avoided due to pain and discomfort.
It is important to note that while joint injections of the knee can provide significant relief for many patients, they are not appropriate for everyone. Patients with certain medical conditions or allergies may not be good candidates for these injections, and it is important to discuss any potential risks or concerns with one of our healthcare providers before undergoing this type of treatment.
Overall, joint injections of the knee can be a valuable treatment option for patients experiencing knee pain and inflammation.
At Coastal MD, we are committed to providing our patients with comprehensive, personalized care and will work with each individual to determine the best course of treatment for their unique needs and circumstances.
Like any medical procedure, joint injections do carry some risks. Although complications are rare, they can include:
There is a small risk of infection with any injection. The risk is higher in people with weakened immune systems.
Allergic reaction: Some people may have an allergic reaction to the medication used in the injection.
Nerve damage: There is a small risk of nerve damage, which can cause numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected area.
Tendon rupture: In rare cases, a joint injection can cause a tendon to weaken or rupture.
Skin discoloration or thinning: Repeated injections can cause the skin around the injection site to become thinner or change color.
It is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits of joint injections with your healthcare provider before undergoing the procedure. They will be able to evaluate your individual situation and determine whether joint injections are an appropriate treatment option for you.
