FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do injection procedures hurt?
Most patients tolerate procedures well,
however there can be some discomfort.
We use localized anesthesia to numb
the needle entry area and targeted site.
Are procedures safe?
Unintended side effects of injections
are rare but may include pain at the
injection site, bleeding, infection, nerve
injury, or allergic reaction to the
medication.
How well do procedures work?
The medicines injected help heal
inflammation and relieve pain. Success
varies, but most patients find the
intensity of their pain is reduced so
they function better and enjoy a better
quality of life.
