Joint injections for the pain you've been working around

Knees that ache on the stairs, a shoulder that won't let you sleep, a hip that's cutting your workouts short? Joint pain isn't something you have to work around. Your provider finds the source and treats it directly, with options ranging from fast relief to your body's own healing.

Pain is worth listening to

Joint pain rarely stays in one place. A sore knee changes how you walk, which can lead to hip or back pain. Treating the source early helps you stay active and keeps the rest of your body from compensating.

Fast relief or longer-term healing

Cortisone calms inflammation quickly. PRP uses your own platelets to support healing over time. Ultrasound guidance helps place either one exactly where it needs to go.

Don't know where to start? We do.

Your provider examines the joint, talks through your activity and goals, and recommends the injection that fits.

Step 01

Find the source

You'll get 30 minutes face-to-face with a board-certified women's health provider. We talk through your pain, your activity, and your history, and look at the bigger picture, like the hormone shifts that can make joints ache in midlife.

Step 02

A precise injection

Your provider examines the joint and, when it helps, uses ultrasound to see exactly what's going on and guide the injection. Cortisone takes just a few minutes. PRP starts with a small blood draw that we process in our own lab.

Step 03

Recover and follow up

Rest the joint for 24 to 48 hours, then ease back in as your provider directs. We'll check in on how you're feeling, and if you're doing PRP, we'll plan your next session as improvement builds over 4 to 6 weeks.
