What do joint injections treat?

Joint injections are nonsurigical treatments to alleviate joint pain and inflammation. A number of conditions and injuries can cause you to have painful joints. Some affect just one joint, while other conditions can cause pain, inflammation, and swelling in multiple joints throughout your body.

During your consultation for holistic medicine at Elate Aesthetics, Pain and Wellness, Dr. Hardie determines if joint injections are an appropriate recommendation considering your needs. You can get them to manage joint pain from:

  • Tendon injuries
  • Ligament injuries
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Lupus
  • Post-surgical healing

Dr. Hardie reviews your medical history to decide on the best type of joint injection to treat your condition and may make other holistic treatment recommendations too.

What are my joint injection options?

Elate Aesthetics, Pain and Wellness offers two rejuvenating ultrasound-guided joint injections to lower inflammation and help your painful joints heal. You can alleviate joint pain and stiffness with:

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) joint injections

PRP is a substance derived from your blood, including growth factors and platelets, to accelerate healing.

Biologic joint injections

Biologic joint injections use growth factors derived from umbilical cord tissue to decrease inflammation within a damaged joint and stimulate natural tissue repair.

Outcomes vary, but either joint injection option can lead to months-long improvements. While you might notice results soon after your first joint injections, you can usually get the best possible results by getting joint injections multiple times.

What are the benefits of joint injections?

Joint injections are a great treatment option for when your joint pain doesn’t improve with more conservative care, like over-the-counter pain relievers or rest. The injections you can get at Elate Aesthetics, Pain and Wellness are nonpharmaceutical and contain only natural components that improve healing.

A few more noteworthy benefits of joint injections are:

  • Results within a week
  • Increased natural healing
  • Low infection risk
  • Low risk of allergic reaction
  • No stitches
  • No downtime
  • May help you avoid surgery

Dr. Hardie typically recommends up to three rounds of joint injections in a six-month period. She tailors your treatment plan according to your personal circumstances.
