At Genesis Wellness and Pain Clinic, we understand that chronic pain can disrupt every part of your life—from work and family to sleep and mobility. That’s why we offer a wide range of interventional treatments, including steroid injections, to help our patients find lasting relief.

Steroid injections, also known as corticosteroid injections, are one of the most effective tools in modern pain management. They’re not a band-aid solution—they’re a targeted therapy designed to reduce inflammation, calm irritated tissues, and restore function.

What Are Steroid Injections?

Steroid injections contain synthetic versions of hormones naturally produced by your adrenal glands. These hormones have powerful anti-inflammatory properties, making them ideal for treating conditions like:

• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Tendonitis
• Bursitis
• Sciatica
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Plantar fasciitis
• Herniated discs
• Frozen shoulder
• Spinal stenosis

By delivering medication directly to the affected area, steroid injections help reduce swelling, relieve pain, and improve mobility—often within days.

How Do They Work?

Unlike oral medications that circulate throughout the body, steroid injections are localized. This means the medication goes exactly where it’s needed, minimizing side effects and maximizing impact.

The effects can last anywhere from several weeks to several months, depending on the condition being treated and the individual’s response. For many patients, this window of relief allows them to participate in physical therapy, return to daily activities, and enjoy life again.

Common Treatment Areas

Steroid injections are incredibly versatile. At Genesis, we use them to treat pain and inflammation in:

• Knees – For arthritis, injury-related inflammation, or post-surgical pain
• Shoulders – For rotator cuff injuries, bursitis, or frozen shoulder
• Hips – For arthritis or joint inflammation
• Lower Back (Spine) – For sciatica, herniated discs, or spinal stenosis
• Elbows – For tendonitis or “tennis elbow”
• Wrists and Hands – For carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis
• Ankles and Feet – For plantar fasciitis or tendon inflammation
• Neck – For cervical spine issues causing neck or radiating arm pain

What to Expect During the Procedure

Steroid injections are quick, minimally invasive, and performed right in our clinic. Here’s what you can expect:

1. The injection site is cleaned thoroughly
2. A local anesthetic is administered to reduce discomfort
3. The steroid medication is injected into the targeted area using precise guidance (fluoroscopy or ultrasound, depending on the location)

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure and can return to normal activities shortly afterward.

Real Relief, Real Stories

Our patients consistently share how steroid injections have helped them reclaim their lives:

“I’ve had injections in both my neck and lower lumbar and they have helped me so very much. Always great attention from the doctor, and the staff is so polite and accommodating. I would recommend ANYONE to see them if you have chronic pain!”

“One injection for debilitating back pain gave me ten months of pain-free living and many fun adventures with my grandchildren. I’m so thankful for the friendly, compassionate, and professional staff—they’ve made a positive impact on my life!”

“I had SI joint injections and my lower back feels so much better—better than it has in months! Theodore Hancke is the best. He listens to my issues and I’ve had great success with the injections!”

These stories reflect the power of targeted treatment and compassionate care.
