To manage musculoskeletal conditions, joint and soft tissue injections are widely used in pain management, primary care, orthopedic and rheumatologic settings. These procedures provide diagnostic clarity and therapeutic relief, offering patients a non-surgical option for pain management and inflammation control. For individuals with arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis or localized soft tissue injuries, injections can offer targeted relief and improve function, especially when conservative measures like rest, physical therapy and oral medications have not provided sufficient benefit.
