Shoulder Injections

Overview

A shoulder injection places pain-relieving medicines into the space where the shoulder joint bones meet. The injection combines a local anesthetic for immediate pain relief with a corticosteroid for greater comfort in the long-term. An effective treatment for a variety of conditions that cause pain, corticosteroids reduce inflammation and swelling, which lessens pressure on soft tissues and nerves.

Procedure Details and Expectations

This procedure takes place in our office and generally takes less 5 minutes. You’ll receive a local anesthetic and undergo painless ultrasound to precisely pinpoint the site of the shoulder injection. Afrer the shoulder injection is complete, you’ll bend and straighten your shoulder several times to ensure that the injected fluid is distributed throughout the joint.

Been going to Spine and Joint for the last few years and my experiences have been positive. Recently had a procedure done and the environment was relaxed, pleasant, and professional. This helps ease some of the stress and edginess that comes with most medical procedures. Thank you S&J.
