Injections
At Wiki Wiki Orthopedics, we recognize the importance of injections as a valuable treatment option for orthopedic injuries, particularly in reducing inflammation and alleviating pain in affected joints or areas. Injections can effectively target a range of conditions, including repetitive use injuries like shoulder or knee inflammation, tennis elbow, De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, trochanteric bursitis, and IT band syndrome, among others. They are also beneficial for managing chronic osteoarthritis in various joints such as the shoulder, elbow, wrist, CMC thumb joint, hip, knee, or ankle.
Below are some types of injections that our team at Wiki Wiki Orthopedics is expertly trained to administer:
Corticosteroid Injection:
Corticosteroid injections combine lidocaine and a steroid like Kenalog or Dexamethasone to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief. These injections are commonly used to address arthritis and inflammation from repetitive stress injuries, helping patients regain range of motion and return to activity. Your provider can advise whether corticosteroid injections are suitable for your condition.
Hyaluronic Acid Injection:
Hyaluronic acid injections are used to alleviate pain associated with osteoarthritis by lubricating the joint and reducing discomfort. This solution mimics natural joint fluid and can be administered as a single injection or a series of three, depending on the brand and your specific needs.
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (Stem Cells)
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment that utilizes stem cells from your own bone marrow to promote healing and repair of damaged tissues. This minimally invasive procedure involves extracting a small amount of bone marrow, concentrating the stem cells, and injecting them into the injured area. BMAC is commonly used for treating joint, tendon, and ligament injuries, offering a natural and effective alternative to traditional treatments and surgeries.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP):
PRP injections harness platelets from your blood to promote healing when injected into the injured area. While still under study for their efficacy compared to standard injections like cortisone, PRP injections show promise for osteoarthritis in larger joints and repetitive stress injuries to tendons. We encourage discussing PRP with your orthopedic specialist to determine its suitability for your condition.
At Wiki Wiki Orthopedics, we prioritize personalized care and will work with you to determine the most appropriate treatment approach for your orthopedic condition. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us to discuss whether injections may be a suitable option for you.
