Am I the Ideal Candidate?

Your journey to finding long-term pain relief begins with an initial consultation at the Advanced Relief Institute.

We’ll explore various treatment options that target the source of your discomfort, allowing us to craft a treatment plan that aims for total relief. Pain injections may be administered if you’ve experienced the following:

  • Other treatment methods, like medications or physical therapy, have not been effective in managing your pain.
  • After a detailed medical assessment, a licensed physician determines that pain injections are suitable for your condition.

How Do Joint Injections Work?

Upon arriving for your joint injection treatment, you’ll be welcomed into our serene office setting. We’ll make sure you’re comfortably situated before cleansing the area to be treated with an antiseptic solution. A local anesthetic will be applied to numb the area during the procedure. Your physician will then use a real-time imaging technology—fluoroscopy—to precisely guide a thin needle into the affected joint.

After aspirating any excess fluid and confirming the needle’s placement using a contrast agent, a combination of medications will be injected. This may include corticosteroids to combat inflammation, anesthetics for immediate comfort, hyaluronic acid to lubricate the joint, or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to promote healing and tissue regeneration.

The Plantation pain injection procedure will be completed by cleaning the injection site and applying a Band-Aid. This straightforward treatment typically takes just five to 15 minutes. If necessary, additional treatments can be scheduled every few weeks, and we’ll work with you to develop a treatment plan that fits your lifestyle.

Pre-Op and Post-Op Instructions

Before the Procedure

Ahead of your pain injection procedure, ensure you have transportation arranged for getting to and from our office, since your doctor may recommend against driving right after the treatment. Additionally, it’s important to discuss any current medications with your physician, particularly blood thinners, which may need to be paused before the procedure.

After Your Pain Injections

Once you’ve received your pain injections, it’s advisable to rest the affected joint and steer clear of strenuous activities, swimming, and saunas for at least 24 to 48 hours. If you encounter any minor swelling or discomfort, using ice can provide relief. Be alert to any signs of infection or adverse effects, and don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you observe anything unusual. We’ll plan a follow-up visit to evaluate your recovery and determine if further injections or treatments are required.
