What are Cortisone Injections?

Cortisone injections are a less-invasive treatment for pain relief and inflammation reduction. As the name indicates, this treatment is injected through a syringe. Cortisone injections are among the most frequently used pain relief treatments, as they typically provide near-immediate relief for both chronic and acute pain.

Many conditions can be treated with a cortisone shot. These include:

The list above represents just a section of the many pain problems that can be addressed with cortisone injections.

How Do Cortisone Injections Work?

Cortisone shots are a simple procedure. Before receiving a cortisone injection, it's important to stop taking any blood thinning medication, as these can cause complications.

During a cortisone injection:

  • The target area is cleaned and sterilized
  • Anesthetic spray may be used on the injection site to reduce discomfort
  • The physician will insert a syringe in to the target area
  • The physician will release the contents of the syringe, which include corticosteroid medication and an anesthetic for pain relief

The entire cortisone injection process takes just a few minutes to complete. The pain relief from a cortisone injection typically comes immediately. Patients who receive a cortisone injection often return home immediately after the treatment has been administered.

After the treatment is completed, it's normal to see some minor redness or swelling. This can be brought down with a simple icepack. While cortisone shots are very useful, they do have limitations: because of concerns involving loss of cartilage, it's recommended that cortisone shots only be used every six weeks, at most.
