What are Joint Injections?

Joint injections deliver therapeutic solutions directly into the joints to calm inflammation, ease discomfort, and support your body’s natural healing response. At Active Health, we rely on regenerative options that restore function rather than mask symptoms.
We do not use cortisone, as it may accelerate tissue breakdown. Instead, we focus on solutions that promote long-term joint integrity: PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Encourages a new wave of healing in damaged tissues. A2M Injection (Alpha-2-Macroglobulin): Protects cartilage by binding harmful enzymes and reducing inflammation. • Saline-based blends with lidocaine or marcaine: Recommended for healthy joints that need quick relief without harsh intervention.
Joint injections are tailored to your joint health, movement demands, and recovery goals.

Conditions That Can Benefit from Joint Injections

If pain or stiffness is interfering with your life, joint injections may be the next step toward greater comfort and mobility. At Active Health, we tailor each injection to support the demands of your joints and your recovery goals.
When inflammation affects joint comfort and daily function, injections can reduce pain, protect cartilage, and work alongside movement-based care to maintain mobility.
Whether you are recovering from a strain or managing ongoing soreness, this therapy can help reduce inflammation and promote recovery when paired with structured rehabilitation.
Targeted injections can help alleviate persistent joint pain, whether in larger areas like the hips and shoulders or smaller joints, by calming irritation. We customize your care based on joint function, movement goals, and how your body responds.
In some cases, joint-focused injections can be used to reduce inflammation around spinal discs and support more comfortable movement. These therapies are part of a broader strategy that may include spinal decompression therapy and physical therapy.
When stiffness or pain comes from joint inflammation in the spine, injections can offer a non-surgical way to relieve pressure, protect mobility, and support recovery alongside hands-on care and movement correction.

FAQs
How often can you get a joint injection?

Sacroiliac joint injections are generally not very painful. You may feel mild pressure or a quick pinch during the procedure, but discomfort is minimal and fades quickly. At Active Health, we use careful techniques to ensure maximum comfort throughout the treatment.
How long do facet joint injections last?
Facet joint injections can provide relief that lasts from several weeks to a few months, depending on your condition and activity level. The duration of benefit varies by individual, and your provider may recommend repeat treatments as part of a comprehensive care plan.
