Joint Injection
Corticosteroids are powerful
anti-inflammatory medications.
Use of cortisone injections in the
treatment of muscle and joint inflammatory reactions is becoming increasingly
popular.
Joint injections are technically more
difficult to perform, also can be of great benefit in the patient's recovery.
Cortisone injections can offer fast-acting
relief of inflamed muscles, joints, tendons, and bursa.
Complications are rare but may include
infection and bleeding.
When administered by an expert, cortisone
injections offer significant pain relief from inflammation with only minimal
discomfort.
