Joint Injections

What Are Joint Injections?

Joint injections are minimally invasive treatments designed to relieve joint pain, reduce inflammation, and support healing. These injections can provide long-lasting pain relief for individuals suffering from arthritis, joint injuries, and mobility issues.

Who Can Benefit from Joint Injections?

Dr. Binju Joel and her team may recommend joint injections if you experience:

• Joint stiffness & swelling
• Decreased range of motion
• Persistent joint pain
• Reduced mobility
• Warmth or redness around the joint
• Arthritis-related discomfort
• Chronic or acute joint injuries

While some joint injuries heal over time, persistent or severe pain should be evaluated by a specialist to determine the best treatment approach.

Are Joint Injections Right for Me?

To determine if you’re a candidate for joint injections, Dr. Joel and her team will:

• Review your medical history & symptoms
• Conduct a physical exam to assess joint function

Recommend diagnostic tests, such as:

• Blood tests & joint fluid analysis
• X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, or ultrasounds

These assessments help ensure joint injections are the most effective treatment for your condition.

Types of Joint Injections We Offer

• Steroid Injections – Reduce inflammation and pain associated with arthritis and joint conditions.
• Joint Aspirations (Knee & Elbow) – Remove excess fluid buildup to relieve discomfort and improve mobility.

Additional treatment options may include physical therapy, oral medications, rest, ice/heat therapy, and supportive devices.

How Often Do I Need Joint Injections?

The frequency of joint injections depends on your condition and pain levels. Dr. Joel and her team will develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include injections every few months for ongoing relief.
