INTERVENTIONAL PAIN CARE
Joint Injection Options for Pain Management
Helping patients live healthy lives and pain-free.
WHAT IT IS
What is a joint injection?
If one or more joints are causing you pain, treatment can often be focused directly on them. A joint block is an injection of an anesthetic (numbing medicine) and a steroid used to help diagnose and treat joint pain.
By delivering medication straight into the joint, we can reduce inflammation, relieve stiffness, and confirm exactly which joint is the source of pain.

DID YOU KNOW?
Joint injections can help diagnose the source of your pain.
Joint injections may be performed to help diagnose exactly which joints are the source of pain? For example, if a joint is injected with local anesthetic, and the pain goes away while an aesthetic is working, it means that, that joint is most likely the source of pain. We can then use longer-term interventional treatment to focus on the joints causing the pain.
