Steroid Joint Injections and Aspirations Treat Your Pain and Inflammation at Its Source
We conduct both joint injections and aspirations (where we remove fluid from a joint) in our office or a hospital setting. The result? Less swelling, reduced pain—and you can return to your regular activities.
We provide these cortisone injections for joints including:
- Knees
- Shoulders
- Elbows
- Ankles
- Wrists
- Hips
- Small joints found in your hands and feet
State-of-the-Art Imaging Ensures Unequaled Accuracy
We understand that no single treatment works for everyone. Depending on your specific needs, we may use advanced imaging techniques, such as an ultrasound, to provide precise guidance and effectively address the root of your problem.
How Do Steroid Joint Injections Work?
Through this nonsurgical joint pain treatment, we have effectively helped individuals with autoimmune diseases relieve pain by injecting steroid medication directly into the joint, reducing both swelling and discomfort.
When Would I Need a Joint Aspiration?
If you have excessive swelling, we may perform a joint aspiration, where we remove fluid from the space surrounding your joint. Then, we often analyze the fluid to help us more accurately assess a diagnosis and create a tailored treatment plan.
Are You a Candidate for Joint Injections?
To provide an accurate answer, we’ll need to assess your individual case and review your medical history. However, if you answer “yes” to any of the following questions, we recommend seeking a referral to speak with our rheumatologist in Raleigh:
- Does your pain get worse from activity?
- Has your pain failed to respond to other treatments?
- Does pain make it difficult to function in your everyday life?
