Peripheral Joint Injections
Peripheral Joint Injections
When joint pain interferes with daily activities, you need a solution that targets the source of discomfort. At Nona Spine and Pain Institute, we offer advanced peripheral joint injections and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to treat pain and inflammation in joints including the knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, wrist, ankle, hand, and foot.
Whether your pain is caused by arthritis, injury, or chronic inflammation, our team is committed to restoring joint function and relieving pain, so you can get back to an active lifestyle.
What Are Joint Injections?
Peripheral joint injections are minimally invasive, non-surgical treatments that deliver medication directly into the affected joint to:
- Reduce inflammation
- Relieve pain
- Improve joint mobility and function
Common Joints Treated:
- Knee
- Hip
- Shoulder
- Elbow
- Wrist
- Ankle
- Hand
- Foot
During the procedure, a combination of corticosteroids (anti-inflammatory medication) and local anesthetic is precisely injected into the joint using imaging guidance.
Many patients experience temporary to long-term relief, allowing them to participate more effectively in physical therapy and daily activities.
What Is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses controlled heat to target the nerves transmitting pain from the affected joint.
When applied to the joint, RFA can:
- Interrupt pain signals traveling to the brain
- Reduce chronic joint pain
- Provide long-lasting relief (6–12 months or more)
- Improve joint function and mobility
RFA can be combined with joint injections for comprehensive pain management, especially for patients with osteoarthritis, joint degeneration, or chronic inflammation.
How Joint Injections & RFA Work Together
Combining joint injections and RFA addresses both inflammation and nerve-related pain:
- Injections provide immediate relief by reducing inflammation
- RFA provides long-term relief by disrupting pain signal transmission
- Together, these treatments can delay or prevent the need for surgery
Common Conditions Treated with Joint Injections
These treatments are effective for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Osteoarthritis
- Tendonitis
- Bursitis
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Patellofemoral syndrome
- Ligament sprains and tears
- Joint instability
Our goal is to reduce pain, restore movement, and help patients return to an active lifestyle — whether it’s a knee, shoulder, or other peripheral joint.
What to Expect During the Procedure
At Nona Spine and Pain Institute, we use precision imaging guidance to ensure accuracy and safety for all joint procedures.
Joint Injections:
- Quick, outpatient procedure
- Minimal downtime, most patients resume normal activity the same day
- Provides rapid pain relief
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA):
- Minimally invasive, outpatient procedure
- Takes about 30 minutes per joint
- No general anesthesia required
- Long-lasting pain relief and improved joint function
Many patients experience immediate relief from joint injections, while RFA provides progressive, longer-term improvement
Who Is a Candidate for Peripheral Joint Injections & RFA?
You may benefit from these treatments if you:
- Experience chronic joint pain in the knee, hip, shoulder, or other peripheral joints
- Have difficulty moving or performing weight-bearing activities
- Have had limited relief from conservative treatments like physical therapy or medications
- Suffer from arthritis, joint injuries, or degeneration
A thorough evaluation will determine the most effective treatment plan for your specific condition.
