What to Expect
Your complete joint injection journey
Before Your Appointment
No special preparation is usually required for most joint injections. You can eat, drink, and take your regular medications as normal unless advised otherwise. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area. If you're having a PRP injection, avoid anti-inflammatory medications for 1 week prior.
During the Procedure
You'll be positioned comfortably for optimal access to the joint. The area is cleaned with antiseptic, and ultrasound is used to identify the exact injection site. Local anesthetic may be applied to numb the area. Using real-time ultrasound guidance, your specialist precisely delivers the medication to the target area. The entire process typically takes 15-30 minutes.
After the Injection
You can go home immediately after the procedure. Rest the treated joint for 24-48 hours and avoid strenuous activities. You may experience mild soreness or swelling, which is normal. Apply ice if needed for comfort. Most patients can return to normal activities within 1-2 days.
Your specialist will provide specific aftercare instructions based on your treatment type and condition. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to monitor your progress and plan any additional treatments if needed.
