Infiltrations
- At Praxis Clinic, our specialists perform targeted infiltrations to effectively treat joint and muscle pain, providing care tailored to your needs to improve your quality of life.
What is infiltration?
Infiltration is a medical procedure that involves injecting a medication, often a corticosteroid or a local anesthetic, directly into a joint or muscle tissue to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. This technique is commonly used to treat conditions such as arthritis, tendinitis, and bursitis. At Praxis Clinic, our infiltration experts provide personalized treatments to improve your comfort and promote a speedy recovery.
Why consult for an infiltration?
Consulting for an infiltration is essential if you suffer from persistent joint or muscle pain that has not responded to conservative treatments. This targeted approach effectively relieves pain and reduces inflammation, thereby improving your mobility. Our specialists at Praxis Clinic will guide you throughout the process and offer infiltrations tailored to your condition for fast and lasting relief.
Types of infiltrations
Cortisone infiltrations, performed with or without ultrasound guidance, are well-established treatments known for their effectiveness and safety in managing joint, tendon, and ligament pain. By delivering an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid directly into the affected area, this treatment aims to quickly reduce inflammation and pain—often with a single injection—allowing for improved mobility and decreased discomfort. Contact us to schedule an evaluation with our physician or specialized nurse practitioner (NP), who will determine the most appropriate treatment for your situation.
Viscosupplementation infiltration is a medical procedure that involves injecting hyaluronic acid directly into a joint to improve lubrication and joint function. This method is often used to relieve pain in patients suffering from osteoarthritis. Hyaluronic acid, a natural component of synovial fluid (the fluid that lubricates joints), helps restore the viscosity and elasticity of the joint fluid, thereby reducing friction between bones and promoting better mobility.
Our clinic offers several types of infiltrations tailored to different needs. To learn more and determine the treatment that’s right for you, contact us directly at 1 (833) 312-5050. We will be happy to provide you with all the necessary information.
