What are Joint Injections?

Joint injections in Scottsdale are shots that go directly into the painful joint. These injections reduce swelling and block pain signals. They contain two types of medicine including a steroid to decrease swelling and a numbing agent for fast relief. Each injection is done with precision and real-time imaging to ensure we target the right spot.

Types of Joint Injections

We offer joint injections for:

  • Knees to treat arthritis, wear-and-tear, or injury
  • Hips for pain when walking or standing
  • Shoulders to help with lifting pain or joint damage
  • And many other joints and conditions

How Joint Injections Help Patients in Scottsdale

Joint injections work directly at the pain’s source. The steroid reduces swelling in the joint, and the numbing medicine blocks pain signals from traveling to your brain. The steroid reduces inflammation, while the numbing agent provides immediate relief.

During your visit:

  1. You’ll relax in a comfortable position
  2. We clean and numb the skin
  3. A thin needle is guided into the joint using live X-ray imaging
  4. We administer the medication and let you rest for a while

Most patients can go home the same day. Some feel better within hours, while others experience relief within a few days.
