Cortisone injections are a widely used treatment option for reducing inflammation and alleviating pain in the knee, shoulders, and hips.
Cortisone is a type of corticosteroid, a powerful anti-inflammatory medication. When injected directly into an affected area, such as a joint, muscle, or tendon, cortisone can help decrease inflammation and pain, allowing for improved mobility and function.
Cortisone injections are typically recommended for conditions such as:
- Arthritis (osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis)
- Tendinitis
- Bursitis
- Gout
- Plantar fasciitis
- Skin conditions (e.g., eczema, psoriasis)
Cortisone injections can be an effective part of a comprehensive treatment plan for managing pain and inflammation.
