No one looks forward to a medical procedure involving needles, but a quick jab could eliminate chronic and life altering pain. The right injections can offer relief from nerve, joint, muscle, and spinal pain in just hours. At our Fort Wayne area clinic, we combine these kinds of immediate relief with other treatments that repair the cause of the inflammation for permanent results. Do not resign yourself to a lifetime of pain or reliance on medications that leave you disorientated when you can utilize tools like inflammation injections to find relief now.

What Are Inflammation and Joint Injections?

Your body creates a unique hormone that can relieve pain when you are injured or stressed, but your adrenal gland can only produce so much at a time and only for a short period. Injecting a synthesized version of this hormone will produce pain relief at the spot where it is needed. It also lasts a lot longer, with some patients going months between injections. Sarapin shots can relieve nerves that keep sending out signals of pain due to compression or joints that hurt due to arthritis or wear. Since these chemicals relieve inflammation in general, they reduce swelling and heat in addition to pain. The needle is used to penetrate into the joint or area around the nerve so the medications are delivered right where they are needed. Soft tissue can also be treated quite successfully with this type of therapy. If more serious pain blocking effect is needed, mild anesthesia can be injected in the same way.

The Benefits Of Inflammation Injections

If the doctor at our clinic decides you are a good candidate for injected inflammation relief, you may enjoy benefits like:

  • Localized pain relief – irritation in just one knee can be solved without affecting the rest of your body.
  • Rapid relief – the pain could start fading before you even leave the office.
  • Long lasting results – one injection could last weeks.
  • Few side effects – you will not have to miss work for weeks, as you will with surgical options.
  • Restored range of motion – relieving inflamed muscles and nerves could help you move more freely.
  • Dependability – these injections usually work even for patients that do not respond to other pain killers.
  • Quick – there is no need for long healing periods or hours of treatment in the office.

What Problems Can Be Treated With These Injections?

You do not have to be suffering from severe rheumatoid arthritis just to enjoy the quick relief of an inflammation injection. This kind of treatment is recommended for conditions that include:

  • Back pain, neck pain, and other forms of chronic pain
  • Herniated disc and bulging disc issues
  • Reoccurring headaches and migraines
  • Sciatica and other types of inflammation that affect the hip
  • Arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
  • Pinched nerve
  • Knee pain due to injuries, age, or joint degeneration
  • Shoulder inflammation and limited range of movement in the elbow or wrist
  • Shoulder inflammation and limited range of movement in the elbow or wrist

While Sarapin injections are great temporary treatments for pain, they cannot resolve the originating cause of the problem. We use these techniques to quickly help patients feel better. It is crucial, however, to follow up with further diagnostics and other complementary treatments. Investing in inflammation reduction before chiropractic care or spinal adjustments will only make them more effective in the long run. With the right treatments, you could discover that you are free of swelling and pain when the injections wear off and the other treatments have resolved the issue.
