Joint pain can also originate from traumas, like sports injuries or an automobile accident.
Joint injections help relieve joint pain anywhere on your body, like the knees, shoulders, hips, and wrists. They quickly reduce swelling and pain when you inject them directly into the joint.
Trigger point injections relieve pain caused by muscle knots using a local anesthetic with or without a corticosteroid. During trigger point injection, the team injects the medication directly into the muscle knot, where the anesthetic numbs it, and the corticosteroid reduces inflammation. For sustained relief, you may need multiple treatments.
