A hip joint injection delivers steroid medication directly into the hip joint or surrounding bursa to reduce inflammation. Ultrasound or fluoroscopy is used to guide precise needle placement, ensuring the medication reaches the correct compartment.
Hip osteoarthritis, labral tears, trochanteric bursitis, or hip pain limiting mobility and daily activity.
You lie on your back or side. The skin is cleaned and numbed. Using imaging guidance, the needle is advanced into the hip joint and medication is injected. The procedure takes about 15 minutes.
Some patients notice a temporary increase in discomfort for one to two days. Relief often begins within three to five days and can last several weeks to months. Physical therapy is recommended alongside injections for best results.

Knee joint injections deliver steroid or hyaluronic acid directly into the knee joint space to reduce inflammation and improve lubrication. Ultrasound guidance ensures accurate placement and maximizes the effectiveness of the medication.
Knee osteoarthritis, meniscal tears, synovitis, or knee pain limiting walking and daily activities.
You sit or lie with the knee slightly bent. The injection site is cleaned and numbed. The needle is guided into the joint space and medication is delivered. The procedure takes about 10 minutes.
Avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours. Most patients notice reduced swelling and pain within a few days. Relief can last weeks to months and the injection can be repeated as needed.

The sacroiliac joint connects the spine to the pelvis and can be a significant but often missed source of low back and buttock pain. A guided injection delivers steroid medication into or around the joint to reduce inflammation and confirm the joint as the pain source.
Low back and buttock pain from sacroiliac joint dysfunction, confirmed by physical examination findings.
You lie face-down and the lower back and sacral area is numbed. Using fluoroscopy, the needle is placed precisely into the SI joint. Contrast dye confirms placement before the steroid is injected. The procedure takes 15 to 20 minutes.
Temporary numbness in the area may occur. Pain relief often begins within a few days and can last weeks to months. These injections also serve a diagnostic role in confirming whether the SI joint is your pain source.
