Living with shoulder pain is hard. As one of the largest and most commonly used joints in the body, the shoulder takes a lot of abuse day in and day out. This can lead to damage and injury that often leads to pain. When it comes to treating pain, many people think about prescriptions medications and invasive surgery. Thankfully there is another option that you can consider- shoulder pain injections in Jacksonville at the Riverside Pain Physicians.
What Are Shoulder Joint Injections?
There are several types of injections available and our team can help you determine which one is right for your needs. But basically, these are injections that are made into the shoulder joint, the muscles, or tendons and ligaments. Some are made of stem cells and platelets while other others human growth factors and important proteins and other nutrients.
What do the Injections Accomplish?
The goal of any shoulder join injection is to bring relief from the pain by either healing damage that has occurred, reducing pain sensitivity, or soothing damages areas as much as possible to ease the pain. Usually some degree of relief is felt within a week or so after the first few treatments. Here at Riverside Pain Physicians we have years of experience giving these injections.
