Steroid Injection
Steroid injections (also called corticosteroid or cortisone injections) are used to reduce pain and inflammation in various musculoskeletal disorders. These injections contain a powerful anti-inflammatory substance that is highly effective in managing conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, and soft tissue inflammation.
How Steroid Injections Work
Steroid injections contain synthetic versions of glucocorticoids, which help reduce inflammation. These injections are commonly used to alleviate pain and swelling in inflamed areas such as joints, tendon sheaths, and soft tissues.
Conditions Treated with Steroid Injections
Steroid injections are particularly helpful for conditions like:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Tenosynovitis
- Trigger Finger
- Intra-Articular Joint Pain
- Keloid Scars
Procedure
During your visit, your clinician will assess your condition by reviewing your medical history and conducting a thorough examination. After discussing all treatment options, they will determine if a steroid injection is the best choice for you.
