Joint Injections

A glenohumeral joint injection targets the shoulder joint, where the upper arm bone fits into the shoulder socket. It involves injecting a combination of a local anesthetic and a corticosteroid directly into the joint space to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief. This injection is often used for conditions like shoulder arthritis, rotator cuff injuries, or bursitis. Guided by ultrasound or fluoroscopy for precision, it can improve shoulder mobility and relieve pain for several weeks or months​.

A shoulder joint injection is used to ease pain and inflammation in the shoulder, particularly in the glenohumeral joint. It involves injecting a combination of a local anesthetic and a corticosteroid directly into the joint space. This treatment is often used for conditions like arthritis, frozen shoulder, or rotator cuff injuries. The injection helps reduce inflammation, providing pain relief and boosting mobility. Ultrasound or X-ray guidance is typically used for better accuracy.

A hip joint injection is used to ease pain and inflammation in the hip joint, often caused by arthritis, bursitis, or injury. It involves injecting a combination of a local anesthetic and a corticosteroid directly into the hip joint space to reduce swelling and pain. The procedure is typically guided by ultrasound or fluoroscopy for accurate placement.

A lumbar facet joint injection targets the small joints in the lower back that connect the vertebrae. It delivers a mixture of a local anesthetic and a steroid into the joint to ease inflammation and pain. This injection helps with conditions like lumbar arthritis, facet joint syndrome, or chronic lower back pain. By numbing the area and reducing swelling, it can boost movement and ease discomfort. Ultrasound or fluoroscopy is often used to provide precise injection.

A subtalar joint injection is used to ease pain and inflammation in the joint between the talus and calcaneus bones in the foot. It includes administering a mix of a local anesthetic and a corticosteroid directly into the joint space, targeting conditions like arthritis, subtalar joint syndrome, or persistent ankle pain. The injection reduces inflammation and provides pain relief, helping to boost mobility. The procedure is often performed with imaging guidance, such as ultrasound, for better placement.​

A sacrococcygeal joint injection targets the area where the sacrum meets the coccyx (tailbone). This injection delivers a combination of a local anesthetic and a corticosteroid into the joint to reduce pain and inflammation. It’s commonly used for conditions like coccydynia (tailbone pain) or inflammation due to injury. The injection helps ease pain and improve function, making it easier to sit or move comfortably. Imaging guidance, like fluoroscopy, is often used to ensure accuracy.

A cervical facet joint injection is a procedure targeting the small joints in the neck, known as facet joints. It involves injecting a combination of a numbing agent and a steroid into the joint space to decrease pain and inflammation. This is typically used for conditions like cervical facet syndrome, arthritis, or neck pain from injury. The injection helps ease discomfort, improve neck movement, and is usually guided by fluoroscopy or ultrasound.

A knee joint injection delivers medication directly into the knee joint to reduce pain and swelling, especially from conditions like osteoarthritis, tendinitis, or bursitis. It typically includes a combination of a local anesthetic for immediate relief and a corticosteroid to decrease inflammation over time. Some injections may also contain hyaluronic acid to improve joint lubrication. The procedure is often guided by ultrasound for better accuracy.

A talonavicular joint injection targets the joint between the talus and navicular bones in the foot, often used to treat pain from arthritis or inflammation in this area. The injection includes a local anesthetic for quick relief and a steroid to reduce long-term inflammation. It helps to ease pain and improve foot mobility, especially when pain limits walking or standing. The injection is usually performed with ultrasound guidance for precise placement​.

An elbow joint injection is used to ease pain and inflammation in the elbow, particularly for conditions like tennis elbow, arthritis, or bursitis. It involves injecting a mix of a local anesthetic and a corticosteroid directly into the joint to provide immediate pain relief and reduce inflammation over time. This can help improve joint function and mobility. The procedure is often performed with ultrasound guidance to ensure the medication reaches the area of inflammation.

A TMJ (temporomandibular joint) injection targets the joint connecting the jawbone to the skull, often used for conditions like TMJ disorders, arthritis, or inflammation. The injection typically contains a local anesthetic and a corticosteroid to ease pain and reduce inflammation in the joint. It helps decrease stiffness, improve jaw movement, and ease pain during activities like chewing or speaking. The procedure is usually done with imaging guidance.
