Joint Injections & Aspirations

Joint injections and aspirations are minimally invasive procedures designed to alleviate joint pain, reduce inflammation, and support diagnosis. Joint aspiration involves drawing fluid from a swollen joint to relieve discomfort and assess for possible infection or inflammation. Joint injections, on the other hand, deliver pain-relieving or anti-inflammatory medications directly into the joint space, providing targeted relief.

At Revere Health, our skilled providers offer joint injections and aspirations to help patients manage joint pain from conditions like arthritis, injury, or inflammation.

What to Expect:
Joint Aspiration: A sterile needle is inserted into the joint to withdraw excess fluid, which can relieve pressure, reduce pain, and help diagnose underlying joint issues.
Joint Injection: A mixture of anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication (such as corticosteroids) is injected directly into the joint, offering long-lasting pain relief and reducing inflammation.

Conditions Treated:
Arthritis: Relieves pain and inflammation caused by osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
Gout: Reduces swelling and pain from uric acid crystals in the joint.
Injury: Provides pain relief and reduces inflammation after joint injuries or overuse.

Benefits of Joint Injections & Aspirations:
Pain Relief: Targeted relief directly in the joint reduces pain and swelling, improving mobility.
Diagnostic Insight: Joint aspirations help identify infections, gout, or inflammatory arthritis by analyzing joint fluid.
Minimally Invasive: These quick, office-based procedures involve minimal discomfort and recovery time.
