Joint Injections

Fast Relief for Joint Pain and Inflammation

When joint pain slows you down, you need more than rest and over-the-counter medication. Corticosteroid injections deliver powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly to the source of your pain, reducing swelling and restoring mobility.
At Purple Medical, our physicians perform joint injections in-clinic for a range of conditions including osteoarthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, and sports injuries. The procedure takes just minutes and most patients feel significant relief within 24 to 48 hours.
No hospital visit required. No lengthy wait. Just effective, targeted treatment in a comfortable clinic setting.
