IPC performs image-guided injections into joints throughout the body to reduce inflammation, lubricate arthritic joints, and provide diagnostic information about pain sources. Our specialists use ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance for optimal accuracy.
Joint injections can provide rapid relief from pain and swelling, improve mobility, and serve as an important diagnostic tool to confirm the source of your joint pain. We offer a range of injection therapies tailored to your specific condition.
Whether you are suffering from knee osteoarthritis, hip arthritis, shoulder pain, or specific conditions like piriformis syndrome or trochanteric bursitis, we have effective injection-based treatments available.
APPOINTMENTS
Corticosteroid joint injections deliver a powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly into an arthritic or inflamed joint. These injections can be performed in nearly any joint in the body and provide rapid relief from pain and swelling.
Conditions treated include osteoarthritis (knee, hip, shoulder, wrist, ankle), rheumatoid arthritis flares, bursitis, tendinitis, adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder), and gout.
Relief from the anesthetic is immediate; steroid relief begins in 2-5 days. Typically provides 3-6 months of relief. Injections can be repeated 3-4 times per year.
Learn MoreViscosupplementation involves injecting hyaluronic acid — a naturally occurring substance that provides lubrication and cushioning in healthy joints — directly into an arthritic joint. This restores the joint's natural shock-absorbing properties.
Conditions treated include knee osteoarthritis (FDA-approved), shoulder osteoarthritis, hip osteoarthritis, and ankle osteoarthritis.
Depending on the product, you will receive 1, 3, or 5 weekly injections. Benefit builds gradually over 2-4 weeks and lasts 6-12 months.
Learn MoreA piriformis injection targets the piriformis muscle deep in the buttock that can compress or irritate the sciatic nerve. This condition — piriformis syndrome — mimics sciatica but originates from the muscle, not the spine.
Conditions treated include piriformis syndrome, deep buttock pain, and sciatica-like symptoms with a normal MRI of the lumbar spine.
Using fluoroscopic or ultrasound guidance, the muscle is injected with anesthetic, corticosteroid, and sometimes botulinum toxin. Steroid injections provide 1-3 months of relief; Botox provides 3-6 months.
Learn MoreThis injection targets the greater trochanteric bursa on the outside of the hip — a fluid-filled sac that cushions the tendons and bone at the hip. Trochanteric bursitis is a common cause of lateral hip pain.
Conditions treated include greater trochanteric bursitis, lateral hip pain, gluteal tendinopathy, and IT band syndrome.
Quick procedure (5-10 minutes) under ultrasound guidance. Immediate relief from anesthetic confirms the diagnosis. Steroid provides 1-3 months of relief.
