What Are Intra-Articular Injections?
These injections involve placing medication — usually steroids or hyaluronic acid — directly into a joint to reduce inflammation and pain. Common joints treated include knees, shoulders, elbows, and smaller hand or foot joints. The procedure is quick and typically done in the OPD setting without hospital admission.
When Are They Recommended?
Dr. Upendra Rathore may suggest an injection if:
You're not responding to oral medications
Localized joint pain that doesn’t improve with routine meds often responds well to targeted injections.
You're dealing with a flare of arthritis
Helps calm sudden swelling and regain joint movement faster.
You want to avoid or delay surgery

Ideal for patients who need to walk, work, or travel without being held back by joint pain.
