Targeted Relief Where It Hurts Most
Joint injections to reduce inflammation and restore mobility—without surgery.
What Are Joint Injections?
Joint injections are minimally invasive treatments that deliver powerful anti-inflammatory medication—usually a corticosteroid—directly into the painful joint. These injections are commonly used to treat inflammation and stiffness caused by injury, arthritis, or overuse.
By targeting the source of discomfort, joint injections can reduce pain, improve range of motion, and help you get back to daily activities faster.

Joint injections are often used to treat:
- Knee arthritis
- Shoulder impingement or bursitis
- Hip joint pain
- Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
- Post-injury inflammation

What to Expect During Your Visit
You’ll first meet with a provider for a full evaluation. If joint injection therapy is recommended, we’ll identify the precise location and perform the injection in-office.
Most injections take just a few minutes and may include:
Local numbing for comfort
Corticosteroid and/or anesthetic medication
Post-procedure instructions and follow-up plan
Some patients feel relief the same day; others notice improvement over several days.
