ARTICULATION INJECTIONS

This procedure relieves pressure on spinal nerves in your lower back. It makes more room in an opening called a “foramen.” That’s where a spinal nerve exits as it branches away from your spine.

Our dedicated team of specialists offers a range of innovative solutions to alleviate your pain and discomfort.

What are Articulation Injections?

Articulation injections, often referred to as joint injections, are a therapeutic procedure where medication is directly delivered into a joint space. This minimally invasive approach aims to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve the overall function of the joint.

Benefits

• Immediate Relief: Many patients experience relief shortly after the procedure, which can last for several weeks or even months.
• Reduced Inflammation: The medication delivered helps in reducing inflammation within the joint.
• Improved Mobility: By alleviating pain, many patients find it easier to move and engage in physical activity.
• Alternative to Surgery: For some, articulation injections can delay or even prevent the need for more invasive surgical procedures.

Conditions Treated

Our specialists recommend articulation injections for various conditions, including but not limited to:

• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
