Ankle Joint Injection (Steroid, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid)

Treat ankle pain effectively with advanced joint injections tailored to your needs at CDL Rehabilitation.

What Ankle Joint Injection (Steroid, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid) Are

Ankle joint injections are a treatment that involves injecting steroids, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), or hyaluronic acid into the ankle joint to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and alleviate pain.

Treatment Description

This procedure is used to treat pain, inflammation, and joint dysfunction in the ankle. Steroid injections reduce inflammation, PRP accelerates healing of damaged tissues, and hyaluronic acid restores lubrication to improve joint movement.

What It Includes

The procedure involves injecting corticosteroids, PRP, or hyaluronic acid into the ankle joint, often under imaging guidance (such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy) to ensure precise placement. Sessions usually last 15-30 minutes.

Disorders treated

What Are Ankle Joint Injection (Steroid, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid) Used For?

Ankle joint injections are effective for treating conditions like osteoarthritis, tendonitis (e.g., Achilles tendonitis), sprains, bursitis, post-surgical pain, and inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis
Reduces pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the ankle joint caused by arthritis, improving mobility and joint function.
Tendonitis
Alleviates pain and inflammation in the ankle tendons, especially in conditions like Achilles tendonitis or posterior tibial tendonitis.
Bursitis
Eases pain and swelling in the ankle bursa, improving joint movement and reducing discomfort caused by bursitis.
Ligament Injuries
Provides relief from pain and inflammation caused by ligament injuries in the ankle, helping to promote healing and restore mobility.
Post-Surgical Pain
Reduces pain and inflammation following ankle surgery, supporting faster recovery and restoring normal joint function.
Sprained Ankle
Helps alleviate pain and swelling from an ankle sprain by reducing inflammation and supporting tissue healing.
Ankle Impingement Syndrome
Relieves pain and discomfort caused by impingement in the ankle joint, improving movement and decreasing pain during activity.

Consequences of not treating disorders

Persistent Ankle Pain
Without ankle joint injections, chronic pain caused by inflammation or joint dysfunction may persist, limiting mobility and daily activities.
Reduced Range of Motion
Lack of treatment can result in stiffness in the ankle, making it difficult to walk, run, or perform activities requiring flexibility.
Prolonged Inflammation
Untreated inflammation in the ankle joint may worsen, leading to increased discomfort and delayed recovery.
Instability in the Ankle
Failing to manage ankle pain and inflammation can result in weakened muscles and ligaments, increasing the risk of sprains or falls.
Risk of Chronic Joint Degeneration
Without timely intervention, ankle joint conditions may progress to long-term damage or arthritis, potentially requiring surgical intervention in the future.
