What are Corticosteroid Injections?

Corticosteroid injections are a common treatment option for a variety of inflammatory conditions and musculoskeletal disorders. These injections deliver a potent anti-inflammatory medication directly into the affected area, reducing pain and swelling and promoting healing.

Is a Corticosteroid Injection right for you?

Corticosteroid injections may be recommended for:

  • Arthritis: Corticosteroid injections can provide relief from the pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

  • Tendonitis: Such as tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, and Achilles tendonitis.

  • Bursitis: Corticosteroid injections may be used to alleviate pain and swelling in the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joints.

  • Joint Injuries: Corticosteroid injections may be recommended to reduce inflammation and pain following acute injuries such as sprains or strains as well as conditions such as frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis

  • Nerve Pain: Corticosteroid injections can help alleviate pain associated with conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome by reducing inflammation around affected nerves.
