Injection Therapy

Injection therapy is exactly as it sounds in that it is a treatment modality that injects a steroid to treat pain and inflammation. Injection therapy treats myriad conditions including several foot problems. Cortisone injections available through our offices in La Quinta, CA, Palm Springs, CA and Rancho Mirage, CA, are powerful anti-inflammatories that mitigate inflammation as well as pain in the joints and soft tissue that comprise the foot. A mixture of cortisone and additional medications such as local anesthetics are injected in the foot, interact with the enzymes of the body and reduce inflammation in the foot.

The end result is timely pain relief that treats plantar fasciitis, nerve inflammation, ligament inflammation, bursitis, joint pain and tendonitis. There is no need to worry about potential pain from a cortisone injection as the foot is anesthetized to mitigate pain stemming from the injection. The ensuing recovery time is merely a couple hours. Though you might require several injections, you will likely find the initial injection provides considerable pain relief
