Joint injections are minimally invasive treatments used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility in affected joints. These injections deliver medication directly into the joint, providing targeted relief for various musculoskeletal conditions.
They are commonly used when conservative treatments such as medication and physiotherapy do not provide sufficient relief. Dr. Kavita Poply offers precise and patient-focused joint injection treatments to help patients regain comfort and function.
What are Joint Injections?
Joint injections involve administering a combination of local anaesthetic and anti-inflammatory medication (often corticosteroids) directly into a joint.
This helps reduce swelling, relieve pain, and improve joint movement, allowing patients to return to their normal activities more comfortably.

- Shoulder joint
