What is a joint Injection?

A Joint Injection delivers corticosteroids or Hyaluronic acid directly into the joint to effectively treat pain and restore mobility.

Cortisone is an anti-inflammatory that reduces swelling and can resolve issues when used in combination with proper rehab.

Hyaluronan is a natural, gel-like injection designed to replenish the fluid inside your joints. It acts as a biological lubricant and shock absorber, essential for cushioning bones and ensuring smooth movement.

Synvisc-One® (hylan G-F 20) supplements this knee fluid, offering up to six months of targeted osteoarthritis relief.

4-Step Injection Process

We take a precise, anatomy-based approach to keep discomfort low and relief high.

Step 1

Physical Assessment

Your doctor carefully assesses the joint, identifies the source of pain, and reviews X-rays or ultrasounds if needed to confirm the diagnosis.

Step 2

Site Preparation

We sterilize the skin thoroughly. Often, we mix the cortisone/HA with a local anesthetic. Additional local injection to numb the skin may be employed too.

Step 3

The Injection

Using anatomical landmarks, the doctor delivers the joint pain injection directly into the inflamed tissue or joint space. 

Step 4

Post-Care Plan

You will be advised to rest the joint for 24 hours. We provide a clear plan on when to restart exercise and physiotherapy.

There is a pinch like a blood test. Because we mix it with local anaesthetic, the joint often feels numb and pain-free immediately afterwards.

The anaesthetic works instantly but wears off in hours. The steroid typically "kicks in" after 2 to 3 days, providing long-term relief in many cases.

We generally limit injections to 3 or 4 per year in the same joint to prevent weakening of the tendons or cartilage.

Yes, usually you can drive. However, if the injection was in your right foot or ankle, you may need a driver as numbness can affect your reaction time.
