Non-Surgical Treatment
Ultrasound-Guided Joint Injections
Precision-guided treatments designed to reduce pain, restore function, and support your return to activity.
Targeted Relief
Focused Treatment for Joint and Soft Tissue Conditions
Joint injections are used to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions including osteoarthritis, bursitis, cartilage injuries, joint pain, and certain tendon injuries.
At Shield, all injection procedures are performed using real-time ultrasound guidance. This ensures accurate placement of medication, improved safety, and optimal clinical outcomes.
Our goal is simple: reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and support your return to peak function without surgery.
Anti-Inflammatory Treatment
Cortisone Injections
Cortisone is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication injected directly into the joint or affected tissue to reduce swelling and pain.
It is commonly used for acute flare-ups, joint irritation, bursitis, and certain tendon conditions.
Most patients experience relief lasting 2 to 3 months, and in some cases longer. Cortisone can help break the cycle of inflammation and allow for improved participation in rehabilitation and activity.
• Reduces inflammation
• Improves joint mobility
• Supports return to exercise
Joint Lubrication Therapy
Hyaluronic Acid Injections
Hyaluronic acid acts as a cushion and lubricant within the joint. It improves joint mechanics by enhancing fluid viscosity and shock absorption.
At Shield, we use Synolis, a high-quality hyaluronic acid preparation commonly used for mild to moderate osteoarthritis.
Many patients experience 6 to 12 months of relief following treatment.
This option is particularly beneficial for individuals looking to delay or avoid surgical intervention while maintaining active lifestyles.
• Enhances joint cushioning
• Improves fluid movement
• Long-lasting symptom relief
