Targeted, image-guided treatments to relieve joint inflammation, improve mobility, and reduce pain without surgery.
Joint injections are minimally invasive procedures designed to deliver medication directly into painful joints — most commonly the knee, shoulder, or hip.
They are performed under ultrasound or fluoroscopic (X-ray) guidance to ensure precision and safety.
Depending on your condition, the injection may include anti-inflammatory medication, viscosupplement (gel-like lubricant), or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to promote healing and restore function.
Joint injections are typically recommended for:
of the knee, hip, or shoulder
(shoulder impingement, trochanteric bursitis, etc.)
following sprains, overuse, or sports activity
not responding to oral medication or physiotherapy
Quick, outpatient procedure (usually 15–30 minutes)
Immediate or gradual pain relief
Restores joint flexibility and motion
Reduces reliance on oral pain medications
Can delay or prevent the need for surgery
Performed safely under ultrasound or X-ray guidance
Local anesthesia is applied; medication is injected precisely into the joint under image guidance.
Depending on response, repeat or combination therapies may be advised for lasting results.
Dr. Babak reviews MRI or ultrasound results to identify the affected joint.
Most patients walk out the same day and return to daily activities within 24–48 hours.
Whether it’s knee stiffness, shoulder impingement, or hip pain slowing you down, joint injections can provide effective, non-surgical relief. Schedule your consultation with Dr. Babak Babakhani to explore your treatment options and start moving freely again.
