Joint injections are a minimally invasive medical treatment used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility in joints affected by conditions such as:
Osteoarthritis (knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, etc.)
Tendinitis and bursitis
Cartilage injuries
Chronic inflammation
How does it work?
The procedure consists of injecting an active substance directly into the joint or periarticular tissues. Depending on the case, the following may be used:
Hyaluronic acid: improves joint lubrication and function
Corticosteroids: quickly reduce pain and inflammation
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): stimulates tissue regeneration
Anesthetics: provide immediate pain relief
Benefits of the treatment
✅ Localized and fast-acting
✅ Reduces the need for systemic drugs
✅ Outpatient, quick, and safe procedure
✅ Rapid return to daily activities
✅ Repeatable over time as prescribed
When is it recommended?
Injections are indicated when joint pain does not respond to traditional drug or physical therapy, or as support during recovery after injury or surgery.
15 minutes
same day
local anesthesia
The procedure is generally well tolerated. A very fine needle is used, and if needed, local anesthetic may be applied.
It depends on the drug used and the condition. Usually, a cycle of 1–3 sessions is done, spaced a few weeks apart.
When performed by qualified professionals, the treatment is safe. In rare cases, mild swelling or local infections may occur.
