Tendon & Joint Injections

NYPAM offers high-quality joint and tendon injection services to reduce inflammation and pain. Tendon and joint injections are minimally invasive procedures used to treat various musculoskeletal conditions. They involve injecting medication directly into a damaged or inflamed tendon or joint, providing targeted and effective relief from pain and inflammation.

Methodologies Used for Tendon/Joint Injections

At NYPAM, we offer various types of tendon/joint injections to suit the specific needs of our patients. These include:

  • Steroid injections: These contain a corticosteroid medication that helps reduce inflammation and pain in the affected tendon or joint.
  • Hyaluronic acid/viscosupplementation injections (gel injections): This involves injecting a gel-like substance into the joint to provide lubrication and cushioning, relieving pain and improving mobility.
  • PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections: This treatment uses a concentration of the patient's own blood platelets to promote healing and tissue repair in damaged tendons or joints.

Treatment Benefits

Targeted relief
By directly injecting medication into the affected area, tendon/joint injections provide targeted relief from pain and inflammation, unlike oral medications that can affect the entire body.
Faster recovery
Compared to more invasive treatments such as surgery, tendon/joint injections typically have shorter recovery times and allow patients to resume their daily activities sooner.
Non-invasive
Tendon/joint injections are minimally invasive procedures that do not require incisions or anesthesia, reducing the risk of complications and side effects.
Long-lasting results
By directly injecting medication into the affected area, tendon/joint injections provide targeted relief from pain and inflammation, unlike oral medications that can affect the entire body.
