Who Benefits

Patients with:

If pain radiates below the knee (radicular pain), Epidural Steroid Injection may be more appropriate.

How It Works

Under live X-ray (fluoroscopy), anesthetic and steroid are placed inside the joint capsule.

The numbing response confirms diagnosis.

The steroid effect builds gradually over several days.

What to Expect at Your Visit

Initial Recovery

Frequently asked questions

Which large-joint injection is right for me?

The best choice depends on your diagnosis, goals, and activity level. Corticosteroid injections quickly calm inflammation, while Hyaluronic Acid (Viscosupplementation) helps lubricate arthritic knees. PRP / Stem Cell Injection options target stubborn joint pain or tendinopathy when progress stalls. We always pair every injection with Physical Therapy & Rehab to convert pain relief into lasting strength, balance, and confident movement across all major joints.

How often can large-joint injections be done safely?

Frequency varies by condition and tissue health. Corticosteroid Joint Injection intervals are carefully spaced to protect cartilage, while Hyaluronic Acid (Viscosupplementation) cycles depend on formulation and candidacy. To minimize procedures, we reinforce joint capacity through Physical Therapy & Rehab. If relief shortens or symptoms shift, our MRI/CT Second-Opinion helps confirm whether another injection or an alternative treatment will deliver safer, more durable results.

When should I choose injection therapy instead of arthroscopy?

Injections work best when inflammation—not structural damage—is the primary issue. Arthroscopy (Knee & Shoulder) is more effective for catching, locking, or loose bodies. We use injections to calm irritation and allow Physical Therapy & Rehab to restore motion. If imaging confirms mechanical lesions, arthroscopy becomes the clear next step for long-term correction while preserving joint stability and natural movement efficiency.

Can large-joint injections help athletic performance?

Yes. Injections can reduce pain, swelling, or synovitis that limits practice or training. Athletes often respond well to PRP / Stem Cell Injection or targeted Corticosteroid Joint Injection, depending on the injury stage. By combining treatment with Physical Therapy & Rehab, we help athletes reload properly, maintain form, and return to sport faster—without over-injecting or disrupting performance timing during their active season.

What happens during a large-joint injection appointment?

Each visit is brief and precise. Using ultrasound or fluoroscopy, our specialists ensure accurate placement and conservative dosing. You’ll receive post-procedure guidelines, including gradual return-to-activity steps through Physical Therapy & Rehab. Whether treating the knee, hip, or shoulder, injections are designed to reduce pain quickly, improve movement, and build stability so your recovery translates to everyday confidence and athletic readiness.

Who performs large-joint injections at Comprehensive Spine Center?

All procedures are performed by fellowship-trained physicians in Pain Management and Orthopedics. They tailor care to your joint type, imaging findings, and goals. Every injection plan integrates Physical Therapy & Rehab for long-term improvement. If structural problems persist despite treatment, we may discuss Arthroscopy (Knee & Shoulder) or other surgical options that safely restore natural motion and prevent repeat flare-ups in active patients.
