WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW

What Is a Joint Injection?

A joint injection involves delivering a corticosteroid (anti-inflammatory) solution—often combined with a local anesthetic—directly into the affected joint space.

The goal is to reduce inflammation, ease pain, and restore range of motion in commonly affected areas such as the:

Knee
Shoulder
Hip
Ankle
Elbow
Wrist
Small joints in the hands and feet

These injections are most commonly recommended for individuals with:

Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Bursitis or tendinitis
Joint degeneration due to overuse or injury

Preparation

The skin over the treatment area is cleansed and prepped. A local anesthetic is applied to numb the surface and reduce discomfort.

Needle Placement

A thin needle is inserted into the joint space. Injections into the hip or shoulder may require ultrasound or X-ray (fluoroscopic) guidance for accurate placement.

Medication Injection

A corticosteroid solution is injected into the joint to reduce inflammation and block pain signals. The procedure typically takes just a few minutes.

Post-Procedure Monitoring

Most patients are observed briefly and then released to go home the same day.

Immediate pain relief is often felt due to the numbing effect of the anesthetic
Mild pain may return once the anesthetic wears off—but further improvement occurs within 2–5 days as the steroid takes effect

Patients will receive aftercare instructions, including:

Avoiding strenuous activity for 24–48 hours
Avoiding baths or soaking the injection site for 2–3 days
Reporting signs of infection (fever, redness, swelling, or worsening pain)

Pain relief may last 6 to 12 months, depending on the joint and the severity of your condition.
