Injection Therapy

Types of Injections We Offer

Steroid Injections (Corticosteroids)

Steroid injections are fast-acting anti-inflammatories used to reduce pain and swelling. They are ideal for joint conditions where inflammation is the primary driver of pain.

• Commonly used for: Shoulder pain, trigger finger, hip bursitis, knee, shoulder, thumb osteoarthritis, tennis elbow

Hyaluronic Acid Injections (Viscosupplementation)

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in healthy joints that helps with lubrication and shock absorption. When injected, it can reduce stiffness and improve joint movement, particularly in osteoarthritis.
