Joint Pain Injection Specialist in American Pain and Wellness

Joint injections offered by American Pain & Wellness provide a convenient, effective solution to manage pain and inflammation in joints such as the knees, hips, or shoulders. These injections can offer faster relief than many non-invasive treatments and may help avoid or postpone

Why Choose Joint Injections?

Chronic joint pain — whether from injury, wear and tear, arthritis, or overuse — can severely impact mobility and comfort. Simple tasks like climbing stairs, walking, or even reaching for everyday objects may become painful or difficult. At American Pain & Wellness, we understand how debilitating joint pain can be. Our injection therapies are designed to reduce pain and restore function safely, helping you get back to living your life with as little discomfort as possible.

Types of Injections We Provide

Depending on your condition and treatment goals, our specialists may recommend one or more of the following injection types:

• Corticosteroid + local anesthetic injections — often used to reduce joint inflammation and provide relatively rapid pain relief. 
• Lubricating injections (e.g. hyaluronic acid) — for joints where cartilage has worn down, these injections help improve joint mobility and cushioning. 
• Regenerative-medicine injections (e.g. PRP) — using your body’s own healing mechanisms to support tissue repair in joints, tendons, ligaments or cartilage. 

Your provider will discuss which option (or combination) is most appropriate based on your condition, symptoms, and medical history.

What Happens During the Injection Procedure

• After assessment and appropriate preparation, the targeted joint area is cleaned and sanitized. 
• Local anesthetic may be administered to minimize discomfort before injection. 
• The specialist inserts a fine needle — often using imaging guidance (e.g. ultrasound) for deeper or more complex joints to ensure accuracy. 
• Once needle placement is confirmed, the chosen medication (steroid, lubricant, or regenerative fluid) is gently injected into the joint space. 
• The procedure is typically quick and performed as an outpatient treatment. 

Most patients tolerate the procedure well and return home the same day.

Benefits You Might Experience

Joint injections at American Pain & Wellness may help you:

• Reduce inflammation and joint swelling. 
• Decrease pain, improving comfort for daily activities like walking, climbing, or reaching. 
• Improve joint mobility and restore more natural range of motion. 
• Delay or avoid the need for joint surgery in some cases. 
• Combine injections with physical therapy and lifestyle modifications for better long-term outcomes. 

Because certain injection options — like PRP — use your own biological materials, the risk of allergic reaction or systemic side effects is typically low.

Considerations & Potential Limitations

It’s important to note:

• Response to joint injections varies from person to person; not everyone will achieve full pain relief. 
• Benefits may be temporary; for some patients, repeat injections or complementary therapies may be needed. 
• Mild soreness, swelling, or stiffness at the injection site is possible for a short time after treatment. 
• Injections alone may not reverse structural joint damage; combining them with rehabilitation and lifestyle changes often gives the best results. 
• A careful medical history, accurate diagnosis, and realistic expectations are essential. 

Our team at American Pain & Wellness evaluates each case individually to determine whether joint injections are appropriate and what the likely outcomes may be.

Is Joint Injection Right for You?

Joint injections are a good option for people experiencing chronic joint pain due to arthritis, cartilage wear, tendon/ligament issues, or joint inflammation — especially when other conservative treatments have failed or are insufficient.

During your consultation at American Pain & Wellness, our specialists will review your symptoms, medical history, and — if available — imaging or diagnostic results. Based on this assessment, we’ll recommend a personalized plan that may include injections, rehabilitation guidance, and lifestyle advice for optimal joint health.
