NON‑SURGICAL JOINT RELIEF

Intra‑Articular Injections in Madipakkam

Joint pain from arthritis, injuries, or inflammation can disrupt daily life. Intra‑articular injections deliver medicine directly into the joint for targeted pain relief and improved movement—without surgery. Dr. Arun offers safe, effective options tailored to your condition.

What Are Intra‑Articular Injections?

Intra‑articular injections are given directly into the joint space. Depending on your condition, different medicines can be used to reduce pain, improve lubrication, or promote healing.

Corticosteroid Injections: Reduce inflammation for quick pain relief.
Hyaluronic Acid (Viscosupplementation): Improves joint lubrication, especially in osteoarthritis.
Platelet‑Rich Plasma (PRP): Uses your own platelets to support tissue healing.

Conditions We Treat

Osteoarthritis (knee/hip), rheumatoid arthritis, frozen shoulder, ankle arthritis, sports‑related ligament or cartilage problems, and joint inflammation not responding to tablets or physiotherapy.
