From Cortisone to PRP Therapy: Exploring Joint Injections for Pain Relief
Are you facing joint pain in your knees, shoulders, or hips? At MLS Clinic in Indore, Dr. Preetesh Choudhary, a leading orthopedic surgeon specializing in knee and shoulder treatments, provides advanced joint injections therapy for lasting joint pain relief and improved mobility. Here’s a simplified guide to help you understand different types of injections and decide which might suit your needs.
Why Consider Joint Injections?
Joint injections are a minimally invasive solution for conditions like arthritis, sports injuries, or age-related joint pain. They offer quick joint pain relief and improved movement, helping you stay active without surgery. Dr. Preetesh Choudhary offers a range of injections, customized for each patient at MLS Clinic.
Types of Joint Injections
-
Cortisone Injections
Cortisone is a strong anti-inflammatory that quickly reduces pain and swelling, ideal for arthritis or acute joint inflammation.
-
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Injections
Known as “gel shots,” HA injections lubricate the joint, easing movement and reducing knee pain, especially for osteoarthritis patients.
-
PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Using your own blood’s healing properties, PRP promotes tissue repair in a natural way, suitable for sports injuries and mild arthritis.
-
Mesenchymal Cell Injections
Mesenchymal cells, derived from specialized tissues, are injected to help regenerate damaged cartilage and tissue. This approach aims to reduce pain and inflammation over time and is a promising option for patients with advanced joint degeneration.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Joint Injections
Advantages of Joint Injections
- Less Invasive Alternative to Surgery: Injections provide joint pain relief and improved mobility without the need for surgical intervention.

- Quick Relief: Many patients experience fast joint pain relief, allowing them to return to daily activities with less pain.
Disadvantages of Joint Injections
