Shoulder Injections

Shoulder pain can greatly impair quality of life and limit movement. In order to directly target shoulder joint discomfort and inflammation, our clinic uses shoulder injection therapy. To offer improved pain and range of motion, these injections usually combine a local anesthetic with an anti-inflammatory drug. To ensure the best results possible, these injections are administered by experienced pain management specialist Dr. Ilana Etelzon, utilizing precision-guided imaging.

The types of shoulder injections offered include cortisone injections to reduce inflammation, hyaluronic acid injections for lubrication and mobility, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections to stimulate your body’s natural healing of the joint tissues. These treatments are especially beneficial for patients suffering from conditions such as arthritis, rotator cuff tears, or bursitis. Patients often experience a significant improvement in pain and an improved ability to perform daily activities with less discomfort.

Knee Injections

Knee injection therapy is a service we provide to improve various forms of knee pain, from arthritis to sports injuries. These injections deliver powerful medications directly to the affected area, helping your body to improve pain and enhance joint function. Depending on your specific condition, Dr. Etelzon might recommend corticosteroids for their strong anti-inflammatory effects, hyaluronic acid for its cushioning properties, or PRP injections.

Our goal with knee injections is to improve the general health of the knee joint in addition to helping your body improve discomfort. In order to enable you to continue living an active lifestyle with less pain, the goal is to postpone or even avoid the necessity for knee replacement surgery. Our clinic’s knee injection patients frequently report significant pain improvement and long-lasting increases in mobility.

Hip Injections

Another treatment option we provide for both acute and chronic hip pain is hip injections. These injections can target problems like bursitis, tendinitis, and arthritis by directly delivering PRP, hyaluronic acid, or steroids into the hip joint. Hip injections can significantly improve your quality of life by allowing for greater mobility and less discomfort, lowering inflammation, and encouraging joint lubrication.

Dr. Etelzon uses ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance to precisely place the medication in the most effective areas of the hip joint. This accuracy not only maximizes the therapeutic effects of the injection but also minimizes any potential side effects. Patients often experience a notable decrease in pain and an increase in mobility shortly after the treatment.
