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

1. Consultation: We'll review your medical history, symptoms, and previous treatments to determine if hip joint injections are the most appropriate treatment option for your specific needs.
2. Injection: You’ll lie on a table, either face down, on your back, or side, depending on your physician’s approach. Your physician will numb the area, use X-ray guidance to insert a needle into the hip joint, inject contrast dye to ensure accuracy, and administer a combination of anesthetic and cortisone. The entire procedure typically takes less than 10 minutes.
3. Recovery: Some patients may experience numbness, weakness, or a slight increase in pain for a few hours to several days as the anesthetic wears off and the cortisone takes effect.
4. Follow-Up: Some patients experience relief within hours, while others may notice improvement within 10 days. We'll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and determine if additional treatments are necessary.
