Joint Injections & Nerve Blocks

Joint injections and nerve blocks are common non-surgical techniques in pain and orthopedic medicine.

In an effort to offer the highest quality of care with the latest technology, ultrasound and fluoroscopy are used to visualize structures for all injections where appropriate.

Steroids are commonly used and very effective when used judiciously. However, there are other injectable options when steroids are not appropriate. Below is a list of common joints injected, nerves blocked, and substances available for injection.
