Discover the Benefits of Shoulder Injections

While physical therapy and medication can help alleviate shoulder pain, joint injections offer long-term relief for people with more severe or ongoing pain. With shoulder joint injections, patients have experienced:

• Longer-lasting pain relief that can last for several weeks to months
• More effective treatment with minimal side effects
• Avoidance of surgery and its associated risks
• Improved mobility in the affected shoulder joint area

All of this leads to improved quality of life and the ability to return to daily activities that would have been difficult due to shoulder pain. Commonwealth Pain & Spine will help you find the best shoulder pain management plan for your case.

Here's what you can expect during the process of our shoulder joint injections:

1. Consultation: During your consultation, we'll review your medical history, symptoms, and past treatments to decide if shoulder joint injections are right for your needs and goals.
2. Injection Procedure: Your physician will numb the area with a local anesthetic before injecting the steroid or anesthetic into your joint. The team uses fluoroscopy or ultrasound diagnostic imaging to guide the needle, ensuring precise placement and minimizing the risk of tissue damage.
3. Immediate Recovery: Following the injection, you may experience temporary soreness or swelling in your shoulder. However, most patients can return to their normal activities quickly.
4. Relief and Follow-Up: To ensure your progress and pain relief are maintained, we will arrange follow-up appointments. This will help us evaluate whether further injections or alternative treatments are required.
