Joint injections are a common and effective treatment for pain and inflammation in various joint conditions. At Tennessee Spine, our licensed healthcare professionals in Sevierville, TN, and surrounding areas provide a range of joint injection options. In this article, we explore the different types of joint injections and their applications in managing joint pain and improving mobility.
Corticosteroid injections are the most common type of joint injections. These anti-inflammatory medications help reduce inflammation and pain in the affected joint. Corticosteroid injections are frequently used for conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and bursitis.
Corticosteroid injections are typically administered in larger joints, such as the knee, shoulder, and hip. However, they can also be used in smaller joints like those in the hands and feet.
Hyaluronic acid injections, also known as viscosupplementation, help to lubricate and cushion the joint. These injections are typically used for treating osteoarthritis, particularly in the knee joint. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body, and injections aim to replace the lost or diminished hyaluronic acid in the joint.
