Joint Injection Techniques

Joint injection techniques involve delivering medication, such as corticosteroids or anesthetics, directly into a joint to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve mobility. A healthcare professional typically uses imaging guidance like ultrasound or X-ray to accurately target the joint. The procedure involves cleaning the area, inserting a needle carefully into the joint space, and then injecting the medication. It’s commonly used for conditions like arthritis or joint injuries. The goal is to provide targeted relief with minimal discomfort, often helping patients avoid more invasive procedures or surgeries.
