For the treatment of joint pain and inflammation in peripheral joints such as the shoulder or knee, by using sonogram and providing targeted pain relief directly into the affected joint. Most commonly used to treat osteoarthritis or rotator cuff injuries.
For the treatment of tendon inflammation, by using sonogram and providing targeted pain relief directly into the affected tendon. Most commonly used to treat tennis elbow or Achilles tendonitis.
For the treatment of muscle knots and spasms, by using sonogram and providing pain relief by injecting a local anesthetic and steroid medication directly into the affected muscle. Most commonly used to treat tension headaches or Plantar fasciitis.
For the treatment of tendon inflammation in the sheath that surrounds the tendon, by using sonogram and providing targeted pain relief directly into the affected area. Most commonly used to treat “trigger finger” or Ganglion cysts.
For the treatment of nerve pain by injecting a local anesthetic and steroid medication around the affected nerve, by using sonogram and providing targeted pain relief. Most commonly used for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, and shoulder pain from the suprascapular nerve.
We offer a variety of advanced treatments designed to help athletes recover quickly and effectively from injuries. Our specialized procedures focus on reducing pain and inflammation, enhancing mobility, and promoting overall athletic performance. One of our key treatments is the epidural steroid injection procedure, which involves injecting a corticosteroid into the epidural space around the spinal nerves. This steroid epidural procedure is highly effective in reducing inflammation and alleviating pain caused by conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and other spinal injuries. By targeting the source of pain, this procedure helps athletes return to their training and competition with minimal downtime. In addition to the epidural steroid injection procedure, we offer a range of other sports medicine treatments tailored to meet the unique needs of each athlete. Our goal is to provide comprehensive care that not only addresses current injuries but also enhances overall physical health and performance. Learn more about how our expert team can assist you in achieving optimal recovery and peak athletic performance through advanced treatments like the steroid epidural procedure.
Sports medicine procedures may include ultrasound-guided joint injections, tendon injections, trigger point injections, and nerve blocks, depending on your condition.
The right injection depends on the cause of your pain, such as joint inflammation or tendon injury. A specialist can assess your symptoms and discuss suitable options.
Some injections may help manage pain and inflammation without surgery. Whether they are appropriate depends on your injury, its severity, and your clinical assessment.
Persistent tendon pain may need a specialist assessment to identify the cause. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include rehabilitation or selected targeted injections.
Ultrasound guidance lets clinicians view relevant structures during an injection, helping target the intended area. Its benefits depend on the injury and procedure performed.
Relief may begin within days or take longer, depending on the medication, injection type, and injury. Results vary, and some treatments provide limited or no relief.
Return-to-sport timing depends on your injury and treatment. Follow your specialist's advice on rest, rehabilitation, and gradually resuming activity to avoid aggravation.
If pain returns, arrange a clinical review to reassess the cause and your response to treatment. Your specialist can discuss rehabilitation or other appropriate options.
Some targeted nerve injections may help selected causes of arm pain. Persistent numbness, tingling, or weakness needs medical assessment to identify the underlying problem.
The best approach depends on your diagnosis, pain severity, and functional limitations. A specialist can assess your injury and explain whether rehabilitation, injections, or both may help.
