Shoulder Joint Injection (Steroid, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid)

Relieve shoulder pain effectively with targeted joint injections using PRP, hyaluronic acid, or steroids.

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

Shoulder joint injections are a treatment that delivers steroids, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), or hyaluronic acid into the shoulder joint to reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and relieve pain.

Treatment Description

This treatment involves injecting medication directly into the shoulder joint to provide relief from pain and inflammation, particularly for chronic conditions. Steroid injections reduce inflammation, while PRP promotes healing, and hyaluronic acid improves lubrication.

What It Includes

The procedure includes the injection of corticosteroids, PRP, or hyaluronic acid into the shoulder joint, typically using imaging guidance (such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy) for accurate placement. Sessions usually last 15-30 minutes.

Disorders treated

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

Shoulder joint injections are effective for treating conditions like rotator cuff tendinitis, osteoarthritis, shoulder impingement syndrome, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), bursitis, and post-surgical pain.

Rotator Cuff Tendonitis

Reduces pain and inflammation in the rotator cuff tendons, improving mobility and decreasing discomfort associated with tendonitis.

Osteoarthritis

Eases joint pain and stiffness caused by arthritis in the shoulder, improving function and reducing inflammation in the affected joint.

Bursitis

Provides relief from inflammation in the bursa of the shoulder, reducing pain and swelling, and improving joint mobility.

Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Alleviates pain caused by compression of the shoulder tendons or bursa, improving range of motion and reducing discomfort.

Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)

Reduces pain and improves mobility in individuals with frozen shoulder by decreasing inflammation and promoting better joint movement.

Post-Surgical Pain

Assists in recovery from shoulder surgery by reducing inflammation and promoting healing in the affected tissues.

Tendon Tears or Degeneration

Helps manage pain and inflammation due to tears or degeneration in the shoulder tendons by improving function and reducing discomfort.

Consequences of not treating disorders

Persistent Shoulder Pain

Without shoulder joint injections, chronic pain caused by inflammation or joint dysfunction may persist and limit daily activities.

Reduced Range of Motion

Lack of treatment can lead to stiffness in the shoulder joint, restricting mobility and hindering activities like lifting or reaching.

Prolonged Inflammation

Untreated joint inflammation can worsen over time, exacerbating discomfort and delaying recovery.

Weakness in the Shoulder

Failure to manage pain and inflammation may lead to muscle weakness, affecting overall shoulder function and strength.

Risk of Chronic Joint Damage

Without timely intervention, joint conditions may progress to long-term degeneration, potentially requiring more invasive treatments in the future.
