Hip, Knee, and Shoulder Joint Injections for Pain Management in Singapore
Persistent joint pain in your hip, knee, or shoulder can make everyday activities a challenge. Minimally invasive joint injections offer a powerful, non-surgical solution that delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly to the source of your pain. At Alleviate Pain, a leading pain clinic in Singapore, we specialise in these targeted treatments to help you reduce pain, regain mobility, and improve your quality of life.
What Are Joint Injections?
Joint injections are a procedure where a specialist injects medication, typically a combination of a local anaesthetic and a corticosteroid, directly into a painful joint. Using imaging guidance like ultrasound or X-ray (fluoroscopy), our pain specialist in Singapore can precisely target the inflamed area. This approach delivers powerful anti-inflammatory medication right where it’s needed, offering more effective and faster relief than oral medications.
Targeted Injections for Specific Joints
We provide specialised injections for major joints, including:
Hip Joint Injection
Designed to treat pain caused by conditions like osteoarthritis, bursitis, or synovitis. A targeted hip joint injection can reduce inflammation deep within the joint, providing significant pain relief and improved mobility.
Knee Joint Injection
This is a highly effective knee pain treatment in Singapore, ideal for conditions such as osteoarthritis, meniscal tears, or ligament injuries. A knee joint injection can help manage pain and swelling, often delaying or avoiding the need for surgery.
Shoulder Joint Injection
Used to treat common conditions like frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injuries, and arthritis. A precise shoulder joint injection delivers medication directly into the joint capsule or surrounding bursa to relieve pain and restore range of motion.
Targeted Injections for Specific Joints
Our clinic offers several types of injections tailored to your specific condition, including:
- Corticosteroid Injections: The most common type, providing powerful anti-inflammatory relief.
- Hyaluronic Acid (Viscosupplementation): Used primarily for knee osteoarthritis to lubricate the joint and improve function.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Uses your body’s own growth factors to promote healing in damaged tissues.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
The procedure is quick, safe, and performed on an outpatient basis.
- The area is sterilised, and a local anaesthetic is used to numb your skin.
- Using imaging guidance, our specialist directs a fine needle to the exact source of pain.
- The medication is injected, and the needle is removed. The entire process usually takes less than 30 minutes.
