Intra-articular Pain Relief Injections Gdańsk – Effective Pain Management at Mediss Medical Clinic

Ultrasound-Guided Pain Relief Injections – Modern Approach to Pain Therapy

Intra-articular pain relief injections, also known as analgesic injections, are a modern and minimally invasive method for treating joint, muscle, nerve, and periarticular tissue pain. At Mediss Medical Clinic in Gdańsk, we offer precise ultrasound-guided intra-articular, periarticular, and peripheral nerve injections that provide fast and long-lasting therapeutic effects.

The procedure involves administering a medicinal agent—most often a corticosteroid combined with a local anesthetic—directly into the site of pain, under ultrasound guidance. Thanks to real-time imaging, we can ensure the medication is delivered precisely where it is needed, significantly increasing the effectiveness of treatment and minimizing complications.

Indications for Pain Relief Injections:

• degenerative joint diseases (knee, hip, shoulder),
• enthesopathies (tennis elbow, jumper’s knee, De Quervain’s syndrome),
• sciatica, spinal and sacroiliac joint pain,
• bursitis, tendon and muscle inflammation, ganglions,
• peripheral nerve entrapment syndromes,
• pain due to injuries, overuse, or inflammation.

Procedure Overview

After a prior diagnosis and qualification by an orthopaedic specialist, the injection is administered using a fine needle under ultrasound guidance. The entire procedure takes about 15 minutes and involves only mild discomfort at the injection site. Pain relief usually begins within 1–2 days and may last for several weeks or even months, depending on the condition and the patient’s individual response.
