Joint steroid injections may be right for you
if you have:
Oral anti-inflammatories reach the whole body. Joint injections reach the joint.
NSAIDs reduce systemic inflammation but deliver only a fraction of their effect to the specific joint in pain.
- Systemic NSAIDs have broad side effects; intra-articular injections minimize them
- Ultrasound guidance ensures accurate placement — not adjacent tissue or bursa
- Most patients resume normal activity the same day
- Relief typically develops within 1–5 days and lasts 4–8 weeks
Our approach: ultrasound-guided intra-articular injection delivers corticosteroid directly into the joint capsule — where the inflammation actually is.
