Intra articular injections

Dr. Chandan C. Shetty offers intra‑articular injections as part of his comprehensive orthopaedic care, particularly for joints affected by arthritis, inflammation, or degenerative conditions. Before performing the injection, he evaluates the patient thoroughly—reviewing joint symptoms, imaging studies (X‑ray, MRI, ultrasound), and overall health status—to determine the suitability of treatment. The type of injection may include corticosteroids (to reduce inflammation and pain), hyaluronic acid (for lubrication and cushioning in the joint), or platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) to support healing and tissue recovery.

The procedure is done under sterile conditions, often with imaging guidance for precise placement of medication into the joint space. After the injection, Dr. Shetty monitors response to treatment, guides rehab or physiotherapy, and plans follow‑ups to assess effectiveness and manage any side effects, in order to help patients improve pain, mobility, and quality of life.
