WHAT IS A CORTISONE INJECTION AND HOW MAY THIS TREATMENT BENEFIT YOU?

Are you suffering with persistent chronic pain? At the Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we regularly provide musculoskeletal cortisone injections at our Warwickshire clinic not too far from Leamington Spa, conveniently situated in beautiful Henley In Arden. We offer these treatments to assist with pain and injury.

Corticosteroid injections (otherwise known as steroid or cortisone) are simple, safe, fast, common anti-inflammatory treatments that act to reduce inflammation direct at a site of pain. Anti-inflammatory treatments can be given in the form of an injection which is an effective form of treatment as it is administered directly to the source of the problem. A corticosteroid injection can be injected into or around an inflamed injured area to reduce pain and aid recovery through effective rehabilitation. These inflammatory injections can work fast or can be delayed but generally speaking, these forms of injections work best in the short term, but thus allowing for functional rehab to commence.

Local steroid or cortisone injections are a prescribed medicine within musculoskeletal medicine that can be a rapid and effective treatment for joint pain and inflammation, although the improvement can just be short lived if preventative care is not performed. Preventative care can allow for long term pain relief.

Corticosteroid injections can also be used for individuals with SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATORY ARTHRITIS to manage inflammatory flares associated with systemic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and other types of inflammatory arthritis. They may also be recommended for osteoarthritis if the joint area is very painful.

BENEFITS OF CORTISONE INJECTIONS

Corticosteroid injections are widely recognised for their effectiveness in treating inflammatory conditions, particularly flares associated with rheumatoid arthritis. However, their benefits extend beyond this, as they can also alleviate pain associated with other joint conditions like gout. Thanks to their powerful anti-inflammatory properties, these injections are valuable in managing chronic injuries, chronic tendon issues, and persistent ligament problems that have not responded to conservative treatment methods.

The process of receiving a steroid injection is typically quick and straightforward, making it a convenient option for many patients. These injections can be performed with or without the use of ultrasound guidance, providing flexibility based on the specific needs of the patient. To enhance comfort, a local anaesthetic is often administered alongside the steroid, helping to minimise any discomfort during the procedure.

Remarkably, over 97% of cortisone injection treatments we conduct result in very little post-treatment discomfort, allowing patients to return to their daily activities with minimal interruption. One of the significant advantages of cortisone injections is their ability to provide rapid pain relief a wide range of inflammatory conditions. The relief can last anywhere from a few weeks to as long as two years, influenced by various factors such as an accurate diagnosis, preventive care, and rehabilitative management.

This highlights the importance of having cortisone injections performed by skilled musculoskeletal professionals who possess a solid background in musculoskeletal medicine. At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we prioritise your health and well-being. Our team is dedicated to thoroughly assessing your condition to recommend the most suitable treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. We ensure that corticosteroid administration is executed with precision, maximising the potential for optimal relief and improving your quality of life. Your journey toward recovery begins with, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

IS A CORTISONE INJECTION THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOU?

It is always very important to consult a musculoskeletal professional to provide an assessment and diagnosis to see if a cortisone injection is the right course of action.

The administration of the injection is a very simple procedure, after which you will rest for a short period and avoid strenuous exercise for the first couple of days. At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, our injections are given as part of a complete treatment package as the steroid injection will often reduce pain but do not resolve the underlying problem. You will therefore be given follow-up treatments to take full advantage of rehabilitation, strengthening and restoring the best mobility.

FOLLOWING YOUR CORTISONE INJECTION TREATMENT

Following your treatment, you should rest it or at least avoid strenuous exercise, for the first 1-2 days. However, it is also important not to rest for too long. Following the injection, you should undergo a course of treatment rehabilitation to optimise healing and recovery. Furter information will be provided to you following your treatment the best methods for preventative care and management.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS WITH CORTISONE INJECTIONS?

Most people experience minimal side effects with cortisone injections. Side effects are often weak and short-lived but can include a temporary flare-up of joint pain, infection in rare cases, thinning of the skin or facial flushing. Occasionally, individuals may notice a joint flare-up within the first 24 hours after injection. This usually settles by itself after a few days. Paracetamol can help with this. These will be discussed with you fully before the injection is consented to.

Steroids can occasionally cause some thinning of the skin and fat loss, particularly with stronger mixes.

Signs of infection: If your joint becomes more painful and hot you should see your GP immediately especially if you are feeling unwell, or head to A&E.

People are often concerned about possible side effects such as weight gain. One of the advantages of having an injection compared to tablets is that the dose can be kept low. That means that these side effects are very rare. Further information is provided on the link here below the image.

Steroid injections are commonly used in conjunction with an appropriate rehabilitation program to help treat the condition.

Pre-Treatment Information

Can I take other medications with cortisone injections?

You can take other medicines with local steroid injections. However, if you are taking a drug that thins the blood (an anticoagulant) such as warfarin, you may need an extra blood test to make sure your blood is not too thin to have the injection. This is because it can increase the risk of bleeding into the joint. You should mention that you are taking anticoagulants so it is made clearly aware. If you discuss this beforehand, you may be advised to adjust your warfarin dose before having the steroid injection.

Fertility, pregnancy and breastfeeding

Current guidelines state that steroids are not harmful in pregnancy or breastfeeding so single steroid injections should not affect fertility, pregnancy or breastfeeding. If however, you are pregnant or breastfeeding you should discuss it with your doctor before having the injection.

At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we will choose the most appropriate method of treatment for your condition and symptoms. Most injections are quick and easy to perform.

WHAT CONDITIONS CAN BENEFIT FROM A CORTISONE INJECTION?

As mentioned above, cortisone injections are considered safe and effective for many musculoskeletal conditions. Examples are chronic joint pain injuries and osteoarthritis, where the active medication (steroid) is used to reduce inflammation/pain. It is also very frequently used for many soft tissue injuries like ligament and tendon sprains/strains that have failed other conservative treatments. Conditions include:

Shoulder pain - rotator cuff inflammation, arthritis or bursitis
Elbow pain - tennis and golfer’s elbow or bursitis
Wrist pain - tendinitis, ligamentous injury or carpel tunnel syndrome
Hand and thumb pain, including arthritis
Hip pain - osteoarthritis, tendinitis or bursitis
Knee pain - injury, osteoarthritis, tendinitis, ligament injury, cartilage damage and more
Foot and ankle pain or injury, including, Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis & big toe
Spinal pain and injury

Please note that is it very important to appreciate that success rates, although very good, are often down to many factors - like severity, lifestyle habits and occupation. In certain cases where the severity to too far advanced, surgical option may be required. It is also very important to understand that cortisone injections are not a long term solution for progressive chronic conditions and repeated injections can be counterproductive in some cases. Therefore, it a is very important to discuss this with a musculoskeletal professional, to explore all options. Below is some information on PRP injection treatment for example.

Important information

Here at Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we like to focus our treatments on REPAIR and REGENERATION. Due to the toxicity of steroids, we like to be more in favour of natural treatments that focus on tissue repair platelet rich plasma (PRP) for example. We also like to educate our patients about this and its differences. With this in mind, we like to often recommend an alternative effective treatment, which is steroid (cortisone) injection with the added addition of hyaluronic acid to aid tissue repair. This can be found under Cingal pain relief injection treatment.

It is the patient's responsibility to make sure they fully understand and appreciate any associated side effects, prior to undergoing treatment.

Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Injection

If the patient is concerned about the side effects then we do offer a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory injection, which is a good natural alternative to steroids, without the unwanted side effects - TRAUMEEL, this is particularly of common use for athletes and practice in sports medicine.

FAQS FOR CORTISONE INJECTIONS

At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we utilise cortisone injections as a minimally invasive and effective treatment option for pain relief. The duration of pain relief following a cortisone injection can vary from patient to patient and depends on many factors such as the severity of the condition being treated, the location of the injection, and the individual's overall health. In general, patients can expect to experience pain relief for several weeks to several months after a cortisone injection. Our team of musculoskeletal experts will work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan that best meets your individual needs and goals. If you have any questions or concerns about cortisone injections or any other treatment options, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to help you achieve optimal health and wellness.

Cortisone injections are a common treatment option for a variety of pain related conditions, such as joint pain, inflammation, and arthritis. While they are generally considered very safe, but there are some potential side effects that you should be aware of. Some of the common side effects of cortisone injections include: - Mild discomfort and swelling at the injection site - Temporary increase in blood sugar levels - Flushing or redness of the face - Thinning of the skin or skin depigmentation - Weakening of soft tissue (more so, with repeated injections) It is important to note that these side effects are usually mild and go away on their own within a few days. However, if you experience any severe or persistent symptoms after a cortisone injection, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately. At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, our team of experienced musculoskeletal professionals are dedicated to providing safe and effective treatment options for our patients. If you have any questions or concerns about cortisone injections or any other health-related topic, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to help you achieve optimal health and wellness.

Cortisone injections (corticosteroid injections), are a common treatment option for conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, and bursitis. While they can provide significant pain relief and reduce inflammation, there are potential risks and side effects to be aware of. Some uncommon risks and complications associated with cortisone injections include acute post-treatment flare, infection, nerve damage, tendon injury and allergic reactions. Additionally, repeated injections over time can lead to tissue weakening. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of cortisone injections with your clinician before undergoing the procedure.

It is generally safe to drive after receiving a cortisone injection, as it will not significantly impair your ability to operate a vehicle. However, some patients may experience temporary dizziness or joint stiffness following the injection, so it is important to listen to your body and refrain from driving if you feel any adverse effects. Additionally, it is recommended that you follow clinician guidelines before engaging in any strenuous activities to allow the medication to fully take effect and reduce the risk of injury. As always, if you have any concerns or questions about your treatment plan, please get in touch.

At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we offer both cortisone and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections for the treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions. The choice between the two depends on the specific condition being treated and the individual patient's needs. Cortisone injections are a type of steroid injection that can help reduce inflammation and relieve pain in the affected area. They are commonly used for joint pain, tendonitis, and bursitis. However, cortisone injections are not a long-term solution and may have side effects if used too frequently. PRP injections, on the other hand, use the patient's own blood to stimulate healing. The blood is processed to extract platelets, which are then concentrated and injected into the affected area. PRP injections can be beneficial for conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, and ligament injuries. They are a natural biological alternative to cortisone injections and may provide longer-lasting relief. Ultimately, the decision between cortisone and PRP injections will depend on the specific condition being treated and the individual patient's needs. Our experienced team at Dynamic Regenerative Medicine will work with you to determine the best treatment plan for your unique situation.

Further information can be found here: What Is The Difference Between Cortisone & PRP Injection, and what is the most effective? (dynamicregenmedicine.co.uk)

At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we offer both cortisone and hyaluronic acid injections for various conditions. Cortisone injections are typically used for reducing inflammation and pain in joints or soft tissue. However, it should be noted that cortisone injections are not a long-term solution and can have side effects if used too frequently. On the other hand, hyaluronic acid injections are used to provide lubrication and nourishment to joints affected by osteoarthritis. But also, to slow the progression of cartilage degeneration. This treatment can provide relief for up to six months and beyound. Our team of musculoskeletal professionals will work with you to determine which treatment is best suited for your specific needs and condition.
