Joint injection

Joint injection is a medical procedure where a healthcare professional places medication directly into a joint, such as the knee or shoulder, to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. This often involves using a needle to deliver treatments like corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid, which can help decrease swelling, improve movement, and alleviate discomfort caused by conditions like arthritis. The procedure is usually quick, performed under local anesthesia, and can provide targeted relief when other treatments haven't been enough. It helps improve joint function and quality of life for many patients suffering from joint-related conditions.
