Steroid Injection

Looking for Alternative Pain Treatment Near You?

Steroid injections, also known as corticosteroid or cortisone injections, are a highly effective treatment option for managing pain and inflammation in various musculoskeletal conditions. These injections contain a powerful anti-inflammatory substance that can bring significant relief to individuals suffering from conditions like osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, and soft tissue inflammation.

How Steroid Injections Work

Steroid injections contain synthetic versions of glucocorticoids, which help to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. When injected into affected areas, such as joints, tendon sheaths, and soft tissues, the steroids work by targeting the source of inflammation, leading to reduced swelling, improved mobility, and decreased pain. This treatment is particularly helpful for conditions where inflammation is the primary cause of discomfort.

Conditions Treated with Steroid Injections

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Relieves compression and inflammation in the wrist.
  • Plantar Fasciitis – Reduces pain and swelling in the bottom of the foot.
  • Tenosynovitis – Targets inflammation in the tendons.
  • Trigger Finger – Eases pain and reduces swelling in the fingers.
  • Intra-Articular Joint Pain – Alleviates pain in joints like the knees, hips, and shoulders.
  • Keloid Scars – Reduces the appearance of raised, thickened scars.

Procedure

When you visit, your clinician will begin by assessing your condition through a detailed medical history review and physical examination. They will discuss all potential treatment options with you to determine if a steroid injection is the most appropriate choice. If so, the injection will be carefully administered, often providing relief within a few days.
