Cortisone Infiltration

Infiltration de Cortisone

Cortisone infiltrations are medical procedures commonly used to treat a wide range of inflammatory conditions, such as osteoarthritis, bursitis and tendinitis. During this procedure, the doctor injects a mixture of corticosteroids and often a local anesthetic directly into the affected joint or area.

This cortisone injection aims to reduce inflammation, pain and swelling in the joint, which can help relieve symptoms and improve mobility. The effects of cortisone can be felt a few days after the injection and may last several months, depending on the severity of the condition being treated.

Viscosupplementation Infiltration
(Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid infiltration is a treatment method designed to relieve joint pain, particularly that caused by osteoarthritis. This medical procedure, carried out directly in our clinic, significantly improves patients' mobility and quality of life.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the synovial fluid of our joints, playing an essential role as a lubricant and shock absorber. With age, or as a result of certain diseases, the concentration of hyaluronic acid can decrease, leading to a reduction in its protective properties and an increase in painful symptoms.

Intra-articular infiltration involves injecting hyaluronic acid directly into the affected joint. This substance aims to restore the viscosity of synovial fluid, thereby reducing friction between bones and improving joint function. The treatment may also have an anti-inflammatory effect, helping to reduce inflammation and pain.

  2. How long does it take to see the results? The effects of infiltration can vary, but most patients experience significant symptom relief within a week of the injection.
  3. Are there any post-procedure instructions?Your doctor will give you specific instructions on activity levels, medication use and wound care to ensure a rapid, uncomplicated recovery.
