A step before surgery
Joint injections are a non-surgical, in-office option that may be considered when medication or physical therapy has not provided enough relief.
If knee, shoulder, hip or wrist pain is making everyday movement harder, a personalized joint evaluation can help you understand your options - including whether an in-office joint injection may be appropriate.
Start with a consultation. An injection is recommended only when your provider determines it is appropriate for your condition.
Joint pain may follow an injury, accompany arthritis, or develop for another reason. That is why Absolute Wellness Center starts by reviewing the affected joint, your symptoms, health history and available imaging before discussing treatment.
The goal is not to rush you into a procedure. It is to help you understand what may be contributing to your pain and whether a targeted injection belongs in your broader care plan.
For an appropriate patient, a joint injection can be one part of a plan focused on discomfort, movement and participation in rehabilitation.
Joint injections are a non-surgical, in-office option that may be considered when medication or physical therapy has not provided enough relief.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all recommendation, the proposed medication is selected for your diagnosis and delivered to the affected joint.
When effective, reduced discomfort or improved range of motion may make everyday activity and physical therapy more manageable.
Your first step is simply an evaluation. The clinic can assess your joint, explain whether an injection is reasonable, and review other options when it is not.
Ask for an Evaluation →A straightforward process centered on evaluation, an informed decision and follow-up.
Your visit begins with your history, symptoms, affected activities and available imaging.
Your provider assesses the affected joint and whether an injection is a suitable option.
If an injection is recommended, the clinic explains the proposed medication, benefits, risks and alternatives before you decide.
If you proceed, medication is delivered into the joint and your progress and rehabilitation plan are reassessed.
Joint injections are offered within a multidisciplinary clinic that also provides diagnostic, hands-on and rehabilitative care.
The clinic reviews your options and what to expect so you can make an informed decision about care.
Your recommendation is built around your history, symptoms, findings and personal goals.
When appropriate, injection care can be coordinated with physical therapy and reassessed over time.
Still unsure? Call the clinic, explain what you are experiencing and ask whether an evaluation is the right next step.
Call (541) 546-0701It is reasonable to have questions. Your consultation is the place to get answers specific to your health and diagnosis.
The clinic evaluates patients with arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis and other inflammatory joint conditions affecting areas such as the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle or wrist. Eligibility depends on an individual clinical evaluation.
When physical therapy or over-the-counter medication has not provided enough relief, an injection may be considered as another non-surgical option. For some appropriate patients, improving comfort may also make participation in rehabilitation more manageable.
Not necessarily. The clinic may pair injection care with rehabilitation and reassess progress over time. Your provider will explain how each part of a proposed plan fits together.
Tell the clinic about your concerns. Before you agree to treatment, ask your provider to explain the proposed procedure, what you may experience, its material risks and what follow-up may involve.
The appropriate medication depends on your diagnosis and treatment plan. Your provider will identify the proposed medication and discuss its expected benefits, material risks and alternatives before treatment.
There is no single timeline that applies to every patient. Response and duration vary with the diagnosis, medication and individual. Your provider can discuss reasonable expectations for your situation.
No. A provider must review your health history, symptoms, examination findings and available imaging to determine whether an injection is appropriate and discuss alternatives.
The purpose of the evaluation is to identify an appropriate path forward. If an injection is not recommended, the clinic can discuss other care options relevant to its services and your needs.
No. Outcomes and duration of relief vary by patient, diagnosis and treatment. A consultation can help set expectations for your individual situation.
