Injections of joints and tendonitis corticosteroids

Corticosteroid injections, a type of anti-inflammatory medication, are employed to address various conditions like joint pain, arthritis, sciatica, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBS). They often offer significant pain relief so you can focus on additional therapies for injury or other healing. Administered exclusively by healthcare professionals, the effects typically last a few weeks to a few months. To prevent potential damage to cartilage and bone from cortisone overuse, orthopedic surgeons aim to limit injections to no more than three per year for any specific body part. Even with this cautious approach, the treatment consistently proves to be highly effective in providing relief.
