Joint Injections

Joint injections can be an effective, minimally invasive option for patients experiencing joint pain and inflammation. At Brentwood Primary Care, we provide corticosteroid and other injection therapies to help reduce discomfort and improve mobility.

What Is a Joint Injection?

A joint injection involves delivering medication directly into the joint space. The most commonly used medications are corticosteroids, which reduce inflammation and pain. In some cases, hyaluronic acid or anesthetic agents may also be used.

These procedures may be performed with or without ultrasound guidance.
