Surgical Drainage or Injection

Effective joint treatment for arthritis and inflammation

The medical procedure involves draining or injecting a joint or bursa, which is an intermediate step in treating conditions such as arthritis or inflammation. This is typically done using a needle and syringe to remove excess fluid or inject medication directly into the affected area. The procedure can help alleviate pain and swelling, improve joint mobility, and prevent further damage or deterioration. It may be performed in a doctor’s office or outpatient clinic, and patients may need to rest and avoid strenuous activity for a period of time afterwards to allow for proper healing.
