Bursitis Injections - Cortisone and High Dose PRP Injections

A bursa injection is a medical procedure where medication is injected into a bursa, which is a small sac of fluid that acts as a cushion between bone and soft tissue. Bursa injections are typically used to reduce inflammation and pain in conditions such as bursitis, tendonitis, or arthritis. Most common areas injected are the hips, shoulders and knees. 

The medication injected may include a combination of a local anesthetic and a steroid to provide pain relief and reduce inflammation. The injection is performed using a needle inserted directly into the affected bursa under local anesthesia. This is a minimally invasive procedure where patients can go home same day. Our pain management physician will meet with you to discuss if this is the optimal treatment for you.
