Joint Injections in Cardiff
Private Joint Injections in Cardiff
A joint injection involves using a needle to deliver medication directly into a joint, such as a knee. This procedure can reduce pain, inflammation, swelling and stiffness, as well as decrease the accumulation of fluids and cells within the joint. While the benefits of joint injections are not permanent, they typically last for a few months. In milder conditions, the effects may persist for up to six months.
Joint injections are mainly used to treat two different types of joint disease:
- Degenerative joint disease – caused by wear and tear (arthritis).
- Inflammatory joint disease – synovial membrane is affected, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Damage or injury to a joint can cause chronic joint pain and make it difficult to enjoy everyday activities like walking, driving or playing sport. A joint injection could benefit you by reducing inflammation and swelling in the affected joint, especially if you’re experiencing:
- Elbow pain
- Knee pain
- Shoulder pain
- Wrist pain
- Hip pain
At ClearMed Clinic, our expert consultants use precise image guidance to perform joint injections, providing relief from chronic pain or stiffness and helping you resume your daily activities with peace of mind.
