COMPREHENSIVE MUSCULOSKELETAL CARE
Corticosteroid Injections
Corticosteroid injections place anti-inflammatory medication into a carefully selected joint, bursa, tendon sheath, or other appropriate treatment area. They may provide temporary relief from pain and inflammation, allowing patients to move more comfortably or participate more effectively in therapy.
Bay Area Orthopaedics considers corticosteroid injections within the context of the patient’s complete care plan. The location, timing, previous injections, medical conditions, and potential risks are reviewed before treatment is recommended.
