Living with chronic or acute joint pain can be an extraordinarily challenging and overwhelming experience. Patients often struggle to cope with the persistent physical discomfort as well as the profound impact joint pain can have on daily life. This relentless pain can negatively affect both physical and emotional health.

Whether you’re an athlete with an injury or simply in search of effective pain relief for chronic joint conditions, we offer alternatives to prescription medication and surgery through safe, effective injections, including:

• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections: Treatment using a concentration of a patient’s own platelets injected into damaged areas to promote healing.
• Regenerative Injection Therapy: Injections that aim to stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms to repair and regenerate damaged tissues.
• Wharton’s Jelly Injections: An advanced therapy using a gelatinous substance from the umbilical cord to aid in healing and reducing inflammation.

At Vanguard Spine and Sport, we recognize that each individual’s experience with chronic or acute joint pain is unique. That’s why we offer joint pain injections as part of a broader, integrative therapeutic strategy.

Our approach is tailored to each patient and designed to adapt to the specific needs of your condition or injury. We combine joint injections with other treatments to provide compassionate, holistic care for your joint pain. This comprehensive and carefully structured treatment plan not only aims to alleviate pain but also focuses on enhancing the overall functionality of joints and muscles.

By addressing the root causes of your discomfort and developing a coordinated course of care through joint pain injections, we help deliver lasting pain relief, optimized health, and improved overall quality of life.

If you are experiencing joint pain in your upper or lower extremities, have yet to find relief through traditional treatments, or are in search of an alternative to surgery and medications for treating your pain, you may be a candidate for joint injections at Vanguard Sport & Spine.

Before considering joint injections, we conduct thorough medical evaluations to understand the underlying causes of your pain. This comprehensive assessment ensures that we recommend the most appropriate and effective treatment plan for your specific condition.

Eligibility for joint injections is determined based on these evaluations and diagnoses. Not all cases of joint pain are suitable for injection therapy. For instance, patients with certain medical conditions or those whose joint pain stems from specific causes may not be ideal candidates.

Our team at Vanguard Spine and Sport is committed to ensuring that the treatment we propose aligns with your overall health status and treatment goals. We consider factors like the severity and duration of your pain, your medical history, and any previous treatments you’ve undergone.

If it is determined that you are a candidate for joint injections, our team will guide you through the process, explaining the types of injections available and what you can expect during and after the procedure. We prioritize patient education and involvement in treatment decisions, ensuring that you are fully informed and comfortable with your care plan.

During your first appointment, our conservative pain management team at Vanguard Spine and Sport will complete a thorough evaluation of your current health and medical history and may recommend joint pain injections, which we perform in our state-of-the-art pain clinics in Houston, TX.

The injection procedure itself is conducted in a sterile environment, utilizing local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. This process is quick and focuses specifically on the affected joint to provide targeted pain relief. Following the joint pain injection, you’ll begin to experience either immediate or gradual pain relief, depending on the type of injection administered.

Our physicians will keep you informed about your treatment and give you a set of aftercare instructions to aid in recovery. Depending on the outcome, these injections may become a part of a comprehensive, long-term conservative pain management strategy.
