At the practice, 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, three different medications can be injected inside a joint: steroid, gel, and PRP. The practice will discuss with the patient the specific risks and benefits of each prior to performing the procedure.
