Steroid Injections

What Are Steroid Injections?

When you experience severe pain and inflammation that simply can’t be managed on its own, then it may be time to consider a steroid injection. These injections are highly effective in treating different chronic injuries as well as medical conditions such as grout, tendinitis and arthritis.

Benefits of Steroid Injections

The primary benefit of a steroid injection is the fact that it can help alleviate inflammation in ways that other treatments cannot. Reducing inflammation then reduces the activity of the immune system.

 

These injections deliver a high dose of medication directly into the problem area to get better results in areas dealing with acute pain and inflammation. Steroid injections can help decrease pain, improve function and help preserve joint structure in infected and inflamed areas.
