Joint & Soft Tissue Injections in New York and Belleville
Pain in your joints or soft tissues can disrupt your daily life. As a result, simple activities like walking, typing, or even holding a cup can become difficult. The Family Pain and Wellness offers precise and effective joint & soft tissue injections to directly address the source of your pain, reduce inflammation, and help you return to the activities you enjoy.
What are Joint & Soft Tissue Injections
These injections are minimally invasive procedures where medication is delivered directly to a problem area. This targeted approach allows for powerful pain relief and healing right where it is needed most.
The medication often includes a local anesthetic for immediate relief and a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation over time. In addition, for certain conditions, we may use other supportive substances. The goal is always the same: to calm inflammation, relieve pain, and support your body’s natural healing process.

1. Medial Branch Blocks and Facet Joint Injections
These are often used to diagnose and treat back pain. The small facet joints in your spine can become a source of pain due to arthritis or injury. A facet joint injection delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly into the joint.
A medial branch block is a diagnostic tool that numbs the tiny nerves that carry pain signals from these facet joints, helping our physicians confirm the exact source of your pain.
2. Joint Injections
Joint injections, also known as intra-articular injections, involve placing medication inside a joint space.
This is common for larger joints like the knee, shoulder, or hip that are affected by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other inflammatory conditions. The injection works to reduce swelling and pain within the joint itself, providing relief and improving mobility.
3. Visco Supplementation Injection
This is a specific therapy for osteoarthritis of the knee. This treatment involves injecting a substance called hyaluronic acid into the knee joint. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of healthy joint fluid, acting as a lubricant and shock absorber.
For arthritic knees, this supplementation can help restore cushioning and ease movement.
Any Questions About Joint & Soft Tissue Injections?
4. Bursa Injections
Bursa injections treat bursitis, which is the inflammation of the small, fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion your bones, tendons, and muscles. When a bursa becomes irritated, it can cause significant pain.
An injection into the bursa can quickly reduce this inflammation. Common sites for bursitis include the shoulder (subacromial bursitis), elbow, and hip.
5. CMC Osteoarthritis Injection
This injection targets pain at the base of the thumb. The carpometacarpal (CMC) joint is a common site for arthritis, leading to pain and weakness in your grip. A precise injection here can provide lasting relief, making everyday tasks much easier.
6. Baker’s Cyst Injection
Baker’s cyst injection addresses a fluid-filled swelling that develops behind the knee. This cyst is often related to other knee problems, like arthritis. We can drain the fluid and inject medication to reduce the swelling and associated pain.
7. Trigger Finger Injection
Trigger finger injection is a highly effective solution for a finger that catches or locks in a bent position.
This condition, called stenosing tenosynovitis, is caused by inflammation of the tendon sheath. A small injection of corticosteroid into the tendon sheath can reduce the inflammation, allowing the tendon to glide smoothly again.
8. Carpal Tunnel Injection
This injection can provide relief for the pain, numbness, and tingling caused by carpal tunnel syndrome. The injection is placed near the compressed median nerve in the wrist to decrease inflammation and alleviate pressure on the nerve.
9. Tenosynovitis Injection
Tenosynovitis injection is used when tendons and their protective sheaths become inflamed from overuse or injury. This can happen in the wrist, hand, or ankle. An injection delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly to the inflamed tendon sheath to relieve pain and restore smooth movement.
