Musculoskeletal injections
Musculoskeletal disorders are caused by repetitive or intense movements, particularly during sports or repetitive motion at work. They can also be a cause of premature aging. All parts of the body can be affected.
To ensure optimal overall treatment, the doctor works closely with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, massage therapists, acupuncturists, orthopedic doctors or physiatrists when specialist assessment or treatment is required.
How do you treat musculoskeletal pain?
Following a medical evaluation, we select the best treatment plan for you. This may be:
Cortisone injections
Cortisone is a fast-acting anti-inflammatory that provides fast, effective pain relief. Benefits are felt 24 to 48 hours after injection, and relief can last up to three months.
Hyaluronic acid injections
Mainly used as a treatment to relieve osteoarthritis, viscosupplementation or hyaluronic acid injections serve to slow tissue degradation. The benefits are felt after a few weeks, and generally last several months. Viscosupplementation should generally be repeated once a year.
Frequently asked questions
Contrary to popular belief, an infiltration (intra-articular injection) is not more painful than a blood test. Patients may experience mild discomfort which can typically last up to 48 hours following treatment. There is no need to worry : it is only an inflammatory reaction. Depending on the area to be infiltrated, a local anaesthetic may be applied. A rest period of 2 to 5 days is usually recommended after infiltration.
We perform infiltrations under ultrasound guidance or using anatomical landmarks. Ultrasound-guided infiltration is done with a device that guides the needle precisely into the desired site.
We perform infiltrations for shoulder, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot pain. No infiltration is performed in the back (neck, dorsal region, lumbar region, sacral region).
