Joint Injections at
The Piedmont Clinic

Targeted relief for aching joints — without surgery or long recovery times.

Painful Joints Aren’t Just an Inconvenience — They Steal Your Life

They slow your mornings.
Limit your workouts.
Make everyday movements feel… older than you are.
And when stretching, icing, and ibuprofen just aren’t cutting it anymore — it’s time to bring in reinforcements.
Joint injections at The Piedmont Clinic are designed to bring real relief, fast. Whether it’s arthritis, overuse, or wear-and-tear from years of hustle — we meet pain head-on with precision treatments that let you move freely again.

What Are Joint Injections?

Joint injections deliver powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly into the joint space — targeting the root of the pain where oral meds and creams can’t reach.
Most commonly, we use:
  • Corticosteroid Injections: Fast-acting relief from inflammation and pain.
  • Viscosupplementation (Hyaluronic Acid): For knee joints, this mimics natural joint fluid and improves cushioning.
  • Trigger Point Injections (when needed): Relieves tight, knotted muscle areas contributing to joint stress.

Conditions We Treat with Joint Injections

We routinely treat joint pain caused by:
  • Osteoarthritis (knees, hips, shoulders, etc.)
  • Bursitis
  • Tendonitis
  • Overuse or sports injuries
  • Post-injury joint inflammation
  • Repetitive strain issues (like tennis elbow or rotator cuff irritation)

What Can I Expect During the Appointment?

  1. Evaluation – We assess your joint, range of motion, and symptoms.
  2. Injection – After a local numbing agent, the medication is carefully injected using ultrasound guidance (when needed) for accuracy.
  3. Recovery – You may feel relief within a few hours to a few days. Most patients resume normal activity shortly after.
The procedure itself takes just a few minutes — no long wait, no hospital, and no downtime required.

How Long Do Results Last?

Most patients experience relief for several weeks to months, depending on the condition and type of injection.
And don’t worry — this isn’t a “one and done” or forever thing. We’ll track your progress and tailor any future injections or treatments to what your body actually needs.

Is It Safe?

Very. Side effects are rare and typically mild — maybe some swelling or soreness at the injection site.
We’ll go over everything before your treatment so you feel totally confident and in control.
