Cortisone Injection: Procedure Details
Pre-Injection Preparations
Before the injection itself, the clinician checks the patient’s medical history and decides on the injection site.
The clinician may ask the patient to stop taking certain medications to reduce bleeding. Also, the patient should mention any allergies, especially to corticosteroids or local anesthetics.
Injection Technique
First, the area around the injection site is cleaned. Then, a local anesthetic is used to reduce pain. Next, the cortisone is injected directly into the affected joint or tissue.
At MyMSK Clinic, we use Ultrasound with cortisone injections to boost accuracy.
After the Injection (aftercare)
Patients should rest the area and can use ice for swelling. They’re advised to watch for infection.
