About Orthopedic Injection Therapies
Orthopedic injection therapies are a minimally invasive way to reduce pain, speed up healing, and restore function in sore or injured joints, muscles, tendons, and the spine. With the aid of ultrasound guidance, these treatments are performed with precision and safety, ensuring accurate delivery of therapeutic solutions to the intended tissues. This approach is particularly valuable for individuals dealing with chronic injuries, arthritis, or pain that interferes with daily activity or athletic performance.
These therapies can make a big difference for people dealing with chronic pain, arthritis, sports injuries, or slow-to-heal conditions. Because they target the source of pain directly, injections often allow patients to move more comfortably and recover faster, without relying only on medications or surgery. As part of an integrative and personalized care plan, orthopedic injections offer a safe, effective way to support long-term healing and get you back to the activities you love.
Several solutions and medications may be selected depending on the individual’s needs and goals. Corticosteroid injections are used to calm inflammation and relieve pain, especially in acute or severe cases. Hyaluronic acid (sometimes called viscosupplementation) helps cushion and lubricate stiff or arthritic joints. Regenerative options, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and prolotherapy, stimulate the body’s natural repair processes, encouraging new tissue growth and strengthening injured ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. For muscular pain and nerve irritation, trigger point injections and perineural therapy can release tension, restore normal function, and reduce hypersensitivity.
