Joint Injections in Fort Collins, CO

Discover Relief with Joint Injections

The Procedure

The process is swift and efficient, typically requiring only about 20 minutes, followed by a short recovery period. Our healthcare providers are skilled in the use of ultrasound—a real-time imaging technique that guides the needle with precision to the most beneficial location within the joint. This ensure the inject is delivered effectively for optimal pain relief and tissue regeneration.

Patients often report a sensation of immediate relief following the injection. While some may experience mild swelling and soreness as the day progresses, these symptoms are normal and transient. They are simply the body’s natural response to the injection and should not be a cause for concern. Within a few days, patients typically notice a significant improvement in their joint function and discomfort levels.

Versatile Treatment for Various Joints

Our joint injection therapy is not limited to a single type of joint but can be applied to various areas of the body prone to pain and inflammation, such as the hips, knees, shoulders, and wrists. These injections are particularly effective in managing conditions like:

• Bursitis: where inflammation of the bursae causes pain.
• Gout: characterized by intense pain due to uric acid crystal deposits in the joint.
• Osteoarthritis: where the cartilage wears down over time.
• Psoriatic arthritis: an inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis.
• Rheumatoid arthritis: an autoimmune disorder that affects the lining of the joints.
• Tendonitis: inflammation or irritation of the tendons.

Types of Joint Injections Offered

At our clinic in Fort Collins, we provide a variety of joint injections, each tailored to meet the specific needs of our patients:

Viscosupplementation or HA Injections

When other nonsurgical pain-relief methods fall short, viscosupplementation becomes a valuable option. This treatment involves injecting hyaluronic acid—a substance naturally found in the synovial fluid of joints—into the knee to restore lubrication and cushioning. It’s especially useful for patients with osteoarthritis who have diminished levels of hyaluronic acid in their joints.

Cellular Products

Addressing the degeneration of muscles, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage due to aging or injury, Cellular Products injections promote the body’s innate repair processes. These injections are administered with the aid of ultrasound imaging to ensure precise delivery to the affected area, fostering an environment conducive to healing and pain reduction.

Understanding the Difference: Trigger Point vs. Joint Injections

While both trigger point and joint injections are non-surgical procedures that provide long-term pain relief, they serve different purposes:

• Trigger Point Injections are ideal for treating muscle spasms or chronic tension. These injections work by temporarily disabling the muscle, preventing it from contracting, thereby allowing it to relax and alleviating the cycle of pain and spasm.
• Joint Injections, on the other hand, are specifically designed to target joint pain. Joint injects are used to delivers regenerative medicine treatments to decrease inflammation, reduction pain and repair and regenerate damaged tissue.
