Understanding Steroid Injections

Steroid (corticosteroid) injections deliver a concentrated anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected area. They’re commonly used for spine, joint, and soft-tissue conditions when pain limits mobility or when conservative care needs a boost.

Common Conditions We Treat with Steroid Injections

  • Herniated or bulging discs with nerve irritation (epidural steroid injections)
  • Facet joint or sacroiliac joint inflammation
  • Shoulder pain (rotator cuff bursitis, adhesive capsulitis)
  • Knee osteoarthritis or sports injuries
  • Elbow, wrist, ankle, or foot tendinopathies
  • Sciatica or radiating arm/leg pain

Each injection type and dosage is tailored after a focused exam and imaging review.

Our Image-Guided Approach

  • Comprehensive Assessment: Physical and neurological exam, MRI/X-ray review
  • Precision Delivery: Fluoroscopy or ultrasound guidance for accurate placement
