Dr. Anjali specialises in providing targeted, effective joint injection treatments to alleviate pain and improve mobility. With advanced techniques and personalised care, these treatments aim to reduce inflammation and promote healing for a variety of joint-related conditions.

Shoulder Injections

Shoulder injections are ideal for treating conditions like rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, or arthritis. These injections target inflamed areas to reduce pain and restore movement, helping you regain functionality in your daily activities.

Knee Injections

Knee injections can provide relief for osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, or cartilage damage. By delivering anti-inflammatory medication or hyaluronic acid directly to the joint, these injections ease discomfort and improve joint flexibility.

Hip Injections

Hip injections are commonly used to treat conditions like bursitis or arthritis. By targeting inflammation in the hip joint or surrounding tissues, these treatments can relieve pain and improve mobility without the need for invasive surgery.

Toe Injections

Toe injections are effective for conditions such as arthritis, gout, or joint inflammation in the smaller joints of the foot. These precise treatments reduce pain and swelling, allowing you to stay active and comfortable.

Trigger Finger Injections

Trigger finger injections treat inflammation of the tendons in the fingers or thumb, which can cause stiffness or locking. This minimally invasive treatment helps restore smooth finger movement and reduces discomfort.

CMC Joint Injections

CMC (Carpometacarpal) joint injections address pain and stiffness at the base of the thumb, often caused by arthritis. These targeted treatments alleviate inflammation, improving grip strength and hand function.

Plantar Fasciitis

Injections for plantar fasciitis target the inflamed tissue in the heel and arch of the foot, offering relief from chronic pain. This treatment is particularly effective for individuals who haven’t responded to other therapies.

Ganglions

Joint injections can be used to manage pain caused by ganglion cysts, particularly when they compress nearby structures. These treatments reduce inflammation and provide symptomatic relief.

Morton’s Neuroma

Morton’s neuroma involves thickening of tissue around the nerves between the toes. Injections help reduce nerve irritation, providing significant pain relief and improving your ability to walk comfortably.

De Quervain’s Tendonitis

De Quervain’s tendonitis affects the tendons around the thumb, leading to pain and difficulty in wrist movement. Injections reduce inflammation and facilitate healing, allowing you to regain mobility without surgical intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are joint injections painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Dr. Anjali uses a fine needle and can apply a numbing agent to the injection site to ensure the process is as painless as possible. Some mild soreness or stiffness may occur afterward but usually resolves quickly.

How long does it take for joint injections to work?

Relief typically begins within a few days, though some patients may experience immediate improvement. The full effect can take up to a week to manifest, depending on the type of injection and the condition being treated.

How long do the effects of joint injections last?

The duration of relief varies by individual and condition. Corticosteroid injections may provide relief for weeks to months, while hyaluronic acid injections for conditions like osteoarthritis can last up to six months or more.

Are there any side effects or downtime after treatment?

Side effects are rare but may include temporary redness, swelling, or pain at the injection site. Infections, bleeding, or allergic reactions are uncommon but possible. Dr. Anjali ensures every procedure is performed with the highest standards of safety and care to minimize risks.

Do I need to prepare for my joint injection appointment?

Minimal preparation is required. Inform Dr. Anjali of any medications, allergies, or medical conditions beforehand. It’s advisable to wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area. After the procedure, you may need to rest the treated joint for 24–48 hours.
