Intra-articular Injection

Intra-articular injection involves delivering medication directly into a joint space, such as the knee or shoulder. This procedure is often used to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, or treat joint conditions like arthritis. A healthcare professional uses a fine needle to inject medication—such as corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid—straight into the joint. This targeted approach allows for direct treatment of joint issues, often providing more effective relief than oral medications, with minimal discomfort. The procedure is generally quick, performed in a clinical setting, and can help improve joint function and reduce symptoms.
