Are Cortisone Injections Right for Me?

man with knee painWe see it in our practice a lot—patients tell us they’re problem area is being managed by cortisone, also known as steroid, injections.

While there’s nothing wrong with receiving steroid injections in your problem inflammation areas, it’s important to know that they won’t resolve the issue.

A cortisone injection is designed to reduce inflammation directly into the area it’s distributed. This can absolutely help you manage pain and inflammation; however, it won’t last forever. When the cortisone wears off, your pain and inflammation is likely to return—and could be worse than before as nothing was done to address the underlying issue.

As a chiropractor, it’s our job to dive deep and discover where the disturbance lies in your body so that we can help correct it.
