About Injections

For shoulder arthritis, we offer several injections to manage pain and inflammation effectively:

  1. Corticosteroid: These injections contain potent anti-inflammatory medications like cortisone. Administered directly into the shoulder joint, they can reduce inflammation and relieve arthritis-related pain.
  2. Hyaluronic Acid: These injections improve lubrication and cushioning within the joint, reducing friction and alleviating shoulder pain caused by arthritis.
  3. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): PRP injections promote tissue healing and regeneration. Platelets are concentrated from the patient’s blood and injected into the shoulder joint to potentially reduce pain and improve joint function.
  4. Stem Cell Injections: Stem cell therapy involves injecting stem cells into the affected joint to facilitate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. While ongoing research shows promise, it is not a guaranteed treatment for shoulder arthritis.

It is important to note that these injections provide relief from symptoms but may not offer a permanent cure for shoulder arthritis. The effectiveness of each injection type varies from person to person. Before considering any injection or treatment, it is crucial to consult with a qualified healthcare professional who can evaluate your condition and recommend the most suitable approach for your specific case. In some cases, a combination of treatments may be required to effectively manage shoulder arthritis.
