What are injection therapies?

Injection therapy eases pain and improves healing by delivering various treatments to the injured tissues. The results you gain depend on variables like the extent of the injury, the severity of your symptoms, and the treatment your provider injects.

Which injection therapies could I receive?

At Pure Health Aurora, our team always completes an exam and diagnoses the problem before recommending an injection. We can include an injection as part of your initial treatment or begin with other therapies and recommend an injection if your pain persists.

Our team routinely provides many types of injection therapy, including:

Corticosteroid injections

Corticosteroids reduce inflammation, which eases your pain and also helps injured tissues heal. Each person has a different response. You might have temporary results or long-lasting pain relief. For some, reducing inflammation is enough to cure the problem.

Our team can use a corticosteroid injection to treat muscles, nerves, ligaments, tendons, and joints, effectively treating conditions like arthritis and tendinitis.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections

Platelets are naturally found in your bloodstream, allowing your provider to make PRP in the office from a blood sample. After injecting PRP, the platelets release substances that speed healing and regulate inflammation.

Hyaluronic acid injections (viscosupplementation)

Hyaluronic acid is an injectable treatment for arthritis. Your body produces hyaluronic acid, a thick substance that lubricates joints and cushions bone movement. People with arthritis produce less hyaluronic acid, so injecting the substance improves pain and mobility.

Trigger point injections

Trigger point injections send an anesthetic medicine into a painful muscle knot. Some injections contain corticosteroids or Botox®.

Hydrodissection

Hydrodissection treats pinched nerves by injecting a saltwater solution (saline). Saline helps release the nerve, allowing it to move and avoid pressure from adjacent structures.

What happens during injection therapy?

At Pure Health Aurora, you will work with our team of qualified experts who create a personalized treatment plan that is designed to relieve your pain and improve your bodily function.

Our team will explain the procedure and then prepare the injection site by cleansing the tissues and numbing the area with a local anesthetic.

Our team will then inject your treatment using ultrasound guidance. Ultrasound delivers images in real time, showing the injured tissues and the needle. After positioning the needle, our team will inject the treatment.

You might have temporary soreness, but most people return to their usual activities the next day. Depending on the type of injection, our team could recommend temporarily avoiding strenuous activity.
