Cortico-Steroid Injections

What is Cortico-Steroid Injections

Steroid injections are used for anti-inflammatory treatments. The injections are often administered under ultrasound guidance to ensure precise placement. Target areas can include knee joints for end stage knee osteoarthritis, bursae for shoulder bursitis, and regions surrounding tendons in cases such as trigger finger. The injections contain synthetic versions of hormones naturally produced by the body.

At the Injury Hub, we administer steroid medications such as Depo-Medrone (methylprednisolone acetate) and Kenalog (triamcinolone acetonide). These cortisone injections are highly effective for managing arthritic pain. By reducing inflammation, they alleviate pain, stiffness, and swelling, thus improving patient comfort, mobility and provides a window to allow the patient to embark on a dedicated rehab program. 

Some treatments which benefit from using this method are:

• End stage knee osteoarthritis
• Shoulder bursitis
• Pain Management
• Reducing Inflammation
• Enhance mobility
