Joint & Muscle Injections
Many people suffer from joint and muscle pain as well as various orthopedic conditions, including knee or hip pain, frozen shoulder, arthritis, tendinitis, tenosynovitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome. These conditions can be challenging and significantly impact daily activities. At Lakewood Primary Care and Wellness, we understand how difficult it is to live with pain. That’s why we offer joint and muscle injections as part of our minimally invasive, non-surgical interventions to help manage pain and support the diagnostic assessment of painful joints.
Procedure Overview:
- Steroid Injections: During the joint or muscle injection procedure, a combination of steroid medication and local anesthetic is administered directly to the painful site. The steroid helps reduce inflammation, while the anesthetic provides immediate pain relief. This treatment can help alleviate pain and improve mobility over time.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections: We also offer PRP injections for joint and tendon injuries. This treatment involves drawing a small amount of your blood, separating the platelet-rich plasma (which is rich in growth factors), and injecting it into the affected joint or tendon to support the body’s natural healing processes.
Benefits of Injections:
- Targeted Relief: These injections deliver medication directly to the site of pain, making them an effective option for pain management.
- Potential for Long-Term Relief: Many patients experience significant relief from pain following these injections, with results that can last for varying periods depending on the individual case.
