What are Corticosteroid injections
Corticosteroid (steroid) drugs are a man-made version of hormones usually produced by the adrenal glands. They can be used to treat pain and inflammation, and certain types of arthritis. They can be given as an injection and are helpful in treating many joint and soft tissue problems. Benefits may be seen within 48-72 hours, and some patients experience relief right away. These injections can help alleviate symptoms for 3-6 months and in some cases up to a year.
Who benefits from Corticosteroid injections
Corticosteroid injections benefit people with painful inflammatory conditions and musculoskeletal pain such as inflammatory arthritis or bursitis. Those who suffer with degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis or certain soft tissue conditions also see benefits which help reduce swelling, stiffness, and pain in the affected joints or soft tissues. Those with localised inflammation who haven’t responded well to other treatments often gain the most relief.
