What Is A Steroid Injection?
A steroid injection is a medical procedure that uses corticosteroid (synthetic form of cortisol) to alleviate localized pain. Corticosteroid is injected directly into a specific area of the body, helping reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain. Steroid injections are typically used in conjunction with other treatments as part of a broader pain management strategy to provide targeted, short-term relief and improve function.
What Conditions Do Steroid Injections Treat?
Steroid injections are commonly used to treat a wide variety of pain conditions, especially those involving inflammation or joint and soft tissue problems. Here are some of the most common conditions treated with steroid injections:
Arthritis: Steroid injections can effectively alleviate symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis by reducing inflammation and relieving pain, swelling, and stiffness.
Back Pain: Epidural steroid injections are commonly used to reduce inflammation, pain, and numbness caused by herniated discs and spinal stenosis.
Tendon and Ligament Inflammation: Steroid injections help reduce pain, swelling, and discomfort caused by conditions such as tendonitis and bursitis.
Nerve Pain: Epidural steroid or nerve root injections can help reduce inflammation along the sciatic nerve, providing pain relief for sciatica, while steroid injections into the carpal tunnel can alleviate pain, numbness, and tingling from carpal tunnel syndrome.
Musculoskeletal Pain: Steroid injections can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain in conditions like frozen shoulder and temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ).
Sports Injuries: Sports-related injuries that involve ligaments, tendons, or joints can be successfully treated with steroid injections, including sprains, strains, and joint instability.
