Pain Management
Steroid injection of shoulder
A steroid injection is a minimally invasive procedure that can temporarily relieve joint, back or neck pain caused by inflamed facet joints, including arthritis, injury or degeneration.
A steroid injection of a joint can:
- Be used as a diagnostic test to see if the pain is actually coming from your facet joints.
- Relieve inflammation and pain caused by various spine conditions.
- Include both a long-lasting corticosteroid and an anesthetic numbing agent delivered directly to your painful facet joint, either inside the joint capsule or in the tissue surrounding the joint capsule.
- Provide pain relief for a few days up to a few years.
