Major Joint Inections Overview:
Major joint injections are a type of medical procedure in which a medication is injected into a large joint, such as the knee, hip, or shoulder, to reduce pain and inflammation. The injections are typically performed by a doctor or other healthcare provider and are used to treat conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and bursitis. There are several different types of medications that can be used for major joint injections, including corticosteroids, which are powerful anti-inflammatory drugs, and hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that occurs naturally in the body and can help lubricate and cushion the joints.
Major Joint Inections Procedure Overview:
The procedure is usually performed in a doctor’s office or clinic, and the joint is typically numbed with a local anesthetic before the injection is given. Most people experience only minimal discomfort during the procedure, and the effects of the injection can last for several weeks or months. Major joint injections are generally safe, with a low risk of complications. However, as with any medical procedure, there are some potential risks, including infection, bleeding, and nerve damage. Your doctor will discuss the potential risks and benefits of a major joint injection with you and help you decide if it is the right treatment option for you.
