Joint Injections
A joint injection is a procedure aimed at providing pain relief resulting from a painful or inflamed joint. Joint pain is often a chronic condition, meaning it has been hurting for a longer period of time and gradually increasing over time or with increased activity. Joint pain could also result from a more acute condition like a traumatic event or sports-related injury. The most common joints requiring injection are the knees, shoulders, elbows, and hips. These procedures are performed under ultrasound guidance to ensure that the medication is delivered exactly where it needs to be. The best product available for joint injections is PRP, read on below to learn more.

These medications are frequently used to treat both chronic and acute pain.
