Hips
A hip joint injection may be beneficial for patients suffering from leg, hip, buttock or lower back pain that results from arthritis or injury to the joint.
Knees
Knee pain can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include arthritis, heavy physical activity, lack of use, injuries such as sprains or strains, sitting in a constrained area, or sitting on knees for a prolonged period.
Ankles
A steroid injection reduces swelling, stiffness and pain in your foot and ankle. The steroid acts like the natural hormones that your body makes to stop inflammation.
