Cortisone and steroid injections are powerful anti-inflammatory treatments commonly used to reduce pain and swelling in joints, bursae, tendons, and soft tissues. They are often recommended when conservative therapies such as rest, physical therapy, or oral medications have not provided adequate relief.
These injections can be effective for a wide range of orthopedic conditions, including:
At Full Orthopedics Urgent Care, we use real-time ultrasound imaging to guide the needle during cortisone and steroid injections. This technique ensures that the medication is accurately delivered into the joint space or inflamed tissue, increasing the likelihood of a successful outcome and reducing risks such as injury to surrounding structures.
Benefits of Ultrasound-Guided Cortisone and Steroid Injections Include:
Our orthopedic specialists will perform a thorough evaluation to determine if cortisone or steroid injections are appropriate for your condition. If so, we will explain the procedure, discuss potential benefits and risks, and answer all your questions.
The injection itself is typically quick, taking only a few minutes. After cleaning the area with antiseptic, the provider will use ultrasound guidance to precisely insert the needle and inject the medication. Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the procedure.
Following the injection, you may notice some relief within 24 to 72 hours, with pain reduction lasting weeks to months depending on the condition being treated. We provide detailed post-injection care instructions and schedule follow-up visits as needed.
