What conditions commonly cause joint pain?

Your joints are frequently in motion, often repeating the same movements while supporting your body weight, not to mention the weight of objects you may carry or pick up. This continuous stress makes joints susceptible to injuries and degenerative diseases that cause ongoing pain.

The most common causes of joint pain include:

• Sprains and strains
• Overuse injuries
• Acute trauma
• Osteoarthritis
• Bursitis
• Dislocation
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Meniscus injuries

Joint problems can progressively worsen, leading to chronic pain. That’s when a joint injection can help.

How is a joint injection performed?

Your joint injection is done in the office under local anesthesia. The doctors use advanced imaging that allows them to see the needle in real time. With this image-guided technique, they precisely place the needle where your injection achieves an optimal effect.

If your life is limited with ongoing joint pain, call SoCal Natural Medical Clinics to schedule an evaluation and expert treatment with a joint injection.
