Joint Injections in Edmond
In-office injections for painful joints, with the options explained up front, including regenerative choices, so you know what is being recommended and why.
What Are Joint Injections?
A joint injection places medication or a regenerative product directly into or around a painful joint, so it goes where the problem is rather than circulating through the whole body. Knees, shoulders and hips are the joints people ask about most often, but other joints can be evaluated too.
There is more than one kind of joint injection, and the right one depends on the joint, on what is causing the pain and on your goals. Your provider will explain what is being recommended for your joint, why, and what to expect afterward, before anything is scheduled.
Regenerative options, including stem cell therapy, are discussed at the same consultation for patients who want to explore them. Results vary with every approach, and we will be straightforward about what is realistic.

Our Approach to Joint Pain
Evaluation
We look at the joint, how and when it hurts, what you have already tried, and any X-rays, MRI reports or records you bring with you.
The Right Injection
Your provider explains which injection fits your joint and your goals, why it was chosen over the alternatives, and what recovery looks like.
Follow-Up
We check how the joint responds and look at the factors around it, such as weight, inflammation and activity, that affect how it feels over time.

Common Questions About Joint Injections
What is injected?
It depends on the joint and on what is causing the pain. Your provider will explain exactly what is being recommended, why it was chosen over the alternatives, and what to expect afterward, before your injection is scheduled.
Does a joint injection hurt?
Expect brief discomfort during the injection and possibly some soreness for a day or two afterward. Your provider will go over what to expect for your particular joint.
How long do results last?
It varies by the type of injection, the joint and the person. Some patients need a single injection, others a series. Your provider will set expectations at your consultation.
Can stem cells be used in a joint?
Regenerative options, including stem cell therapy, are discussed at consultation. They are not FDA-approved for joint pain and results vary, so we will tell you honestly whether they make sense for you.
Do I need imaging first?
Bring any X-rays, MRI reports or records you already have. Your provider will tell you if anything more is needed.
