  • Arthritis-related joint inflammation
  • Sports injuries or repetitive strain
  • Ligament sprains and tears
  • Degenerative joint changes

How Steroids Work to Manage Pain 

Steroid injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to the source of discomfort. By reducing swelling and irritation in ligaments or joints, these injections improve range of motion and minimize painful flare-ups. Relief may last weeks or even months, depending on individual response and severity of the condition.

Am I a Good Candidate?

A consultation with Dr. DeGironemo or our nurse practitioner helps determine if this therapy suits your needs. Candidates typically include adults experiencing persistent joint or ligament pain that has not responded to other conservative treatments, those in overall good health, and individuals without conditions that may increase injection-related risks.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Your experience begins with a personalized consultation to identify the cause of pain and develop a precise injection plan. During the procedure:

  1. The treatment site is cleansed and prepped.
  2. A local anesthetic may be applied for comfort.
  3. Steroid medication is injected directly into the joint or ligament.
  4. Patients typically return home the same day with minimal restrictions.

Recovery and Results

Following injection, mild soreness at the site may occur but generally resolves quickly. Relief often begins within days, with results lasting weeks to months. Regular follow-up helps monitor effectiveness and determine if repeat treatments are appropriate.

Subtypes of Steroid Injections

Different approaches may be used based on the treatment area:

  • Intra-articular injections: Deliver medication directly into a joint
  • Periligamentous injections: Target ligaments for focused relief
  • Guided injections: Performed under ultrasound or imaging for optimal accuracy
