Peripheral Joint Injections are minimally invasive procedures designed to reduce pain and inflammation in joints such as the knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, and wrists. These injections typically combine a local anesthetic for immediate relief with a corticosteroid for longer-term reduction in swelling, while some patients may also benefit from regenerative options like platelet-rich plasma (PRP). By delivering medication directly into the affected joint, peripheral joint injections provide faster, targeted relief compared to oral medications. They are often recommended for patients dealing with arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, sports injuries, or degenerative joint disease who have not achieved sufficient results from physical therapy or standard medications. Beyond reducing pain, this treatment improves mobility, decreases stiffness, and enhances overall quality of life, making Peripheral Joint Injections an important component of advanced pain management strategies.
