cortisone injection
Anti-inflammatory needle treatment
A cortisone injection delivers a synthetic corticosteroid directly into an inflamed area—typically a joint, tendon, or bursa—to reduce swelling and pain.
The relief is temporary, lasting weeks to months, and doctors limit frequency because repeated injections can weaken tissue: My doctor recommended a cortisone injection for my knee.
