At High Mountain Medical, we offer a variety of injection therapy treatments that can target your specific symptoms and relieve your pain. The goal of injection therapy is to help you manage your pain and get you back to an active and pain-free lifestyle. We offer various therapeutic injections, including:
Trigger Point Injections
Trigger point injections are used throughout different areas of your body that contain trigger points. Trigger points or knots form within muscle tissue in the back, shoulders, and hips. These tight areas typically occur when they experience stiffness and tension as a result of stress, injury, or illness. Trigger point injections help relax your muscles and increase blood flow, alleviating inflammation and facilitating proper healing.
Joint Injections
A joint is any area where two bones are surrounded by a joint capsule and move together. Joint injections involve administering a steroid or medication into a joint to relieve pain and can be beneficial for those suffering from localized joint pain or arthritis.
Corticosteroid
When injected directly into a joint, corticosteroids deliver powerful pain and inflammation relief. Corticosteroid injections limit the dilation of small blood vessels in the joint and help decrease the buildup of cells associated with joint damage and inflammation. These injections can help treat various conditions in different joints.
Hyaluronic Acid
The synovial fluid in the joints contains hyaluronic acid. This material helps thicken the fluid to help lubricate and absorb shock in the joints. When your joints are affected by nerve damage, arthritis, or tendinitis, hyaluronic acid levels can be low and cause pain in the area. Injecting hyaluronic acid into the joint can help alleviate pain.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections are a solution for ligament or tendon injuries or arthritis. With PRP injections, the patient’s platelet-rich blood is drawn and injected back into the problematic area. This treatment stimulates natural healing and tissue repair and can help relieve pain and inflammation.
