In our clinic, we perform various injections that can help with joint pain. This includes shoulders, knees, hips, sacro-iliac joints and others. Depending on the joint and other factors, the injection might be done under ultrasound guidance or fluoroscopy guidance, which provides significantly higher accuracy and safety compared to blind injections.
Generally speaking, 3 different things can be injected inside a joint: steroid, gel, and PRP. Discuss with Dr Sader the specific risks and benefits of each.
Like any procedure, joint injections carry the risk of bleeding, infection, nerve damage. However these risks are very low and we take every precaution possible to minimize those risks by ensuring thorough disinfection prior to the procedure and imaging-guidance to avoid dangerous structures.
Providing specialized neurological and pain management care with a patient-centered approach. Dr. Sader combines clinical expertise with compassionate care to help patients achieve optimal health outcomes.
