Injection Therapies We Offer
Viscosupplementation
Viscosupplementation is an advanced treatment for individuals suffering from osteoarthritis, particularly in the knee. The procedure involves injecting a gel-like substance, typically hyaluronic acid, directly into the affected joint. This substance mimics the natural fluid in the joint, improving lubrication and reducing pain. It is highly effective in reducing joint stiffness and increasing mobility, especially for patients who have not found relief from other treatments.
Common Conditions Treated:
- Knee osteoarthritis
- Joint stiffness
- Limited mobility due to joint pain
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP therapy utilizes your body’s own platelets to promote healing in injured tendons, muscles, ligaments, and joints. Platelets, which are rich in growth factors, help stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and speed up recovery. This non-surgical treatment has shown promise for treating tendonitis, rotator cuff injuries, and knee pain, among others.
Common Conditions Treated:
- Tendon injuries (e.g., rotator cuff, Achilles tendon)
- Chronic pain from joint degeneration
- Sports injuries
Cortisone Injections
Cortisone injections are one of the most effective ways to reduce inflammation and pain caused by various conditions, including arthritis and tendonitis. Cortisone, a powerful anti-inflammatory medication, is injected directly into the joint or soft tissue to provide fast, targeted relief. This treatment is often used for individuals with acute pain or those recovering from surgery.
Common Conditions Treated:
- Tendonitis
- Arthritis (especially in the knee, hip, or shoulder)
- Bursitis
- Sports injuries (e.g., tennis elbow, runner’s knee)
