Hattiesburg Clinic is pleased to provide patients with joint pain access to an experienced and caring team of chronic pain practitioners. Our pain management team treats low back and neck pain, along with pain in the knees, hips, shoulders and elbows. Patients receive an individual plan of care targeted toward the patient’s specific symptoms. Joint injections are a convenient and effective option that offer immediate and long-lasting relief.
While you may feel pressure during the injection, most patients feel immediate relief. Pain relief from joint injections can last several months or longer, depending on the severity of the pain. If you have joint pain due to osteoarthritis your physician may recommend joint injections as part of your treatment plan. Injections of steroid and local anesthetic can provide good lasting relief of pain arising from essentially any peripheral joint to include the knees, hips, shoulders and elbows.
The process for most joint injections takes 10 to 15 minutes and is administered at Hattiesburg Clinic’s Ambulatory Surgery Center. Some joint injections are best performed with X-ray guidance, while others are performed with ultrasound guidance. While recovery time is minimal, it is suggested that patients receiving joint injections arrange for transportation after the procedure.
Our team takes a personalized and comprehensive approach to managing joint pain. Patients receive dedicated face time with our physicians, where he or she will discuss all your pain management options and why joint injections are typically a good option. We understand that joint pain can disrupt your daily life. To provide patients with the best care possible, we offer different types of joint injections, which may include a combination of:
If you suffer from chronic lower back pain, you may be a candidate for a VIA Disc injection. A non-surgical treatment, the VIA Disc procedure aims at reducing pain caused by degenerative disc disease (DDD). Often, those who have tried medication, lifestyle changes and other types of treatment with no results have positive experience with pain management injections.
The VIA Disc injection contains natural growth factors and cellular components that promote the healing and regeneration of damaged disc tissue. By targeting the source of the pain, VIA Disc procedures help reduce inflammation, improve disc function and can delay or eliminate the need for more invasive surgeries. Typically performed on an outpatient basis, this procedure offers a faster recovery time and lower risks compared to traditional spinal surgeries.

We provide Hattiesburg and surrounding areas with caring, compassionate physicians who customize unique treatment plans, considering all modalities, not only medication or procedures.
