Musculoskeletal health focuses on the prevention, assessment, and treatment of pain and disorders affecting muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and peripheral nerves. The goal is to maintain or restore mobility, strength, and physical function, whether due to injury, overuse, or chronic conditions.

There are various treatment options available for musculoskeletal pain, and each case is unique. That’s why a medical consultation is essential to assess your condition, make an accurate diagnosis, and determine the most appropriate treatment. Depending on your situation, the procedure may even be performed during the same visit, saving you time and ensuring you get the best possible care quickly.

Follow-up visits help monitor the progress of your condition and adjust the treatment if necessary. This step is key to optimizing your results and ensuring proper recovery. You’re not left on your own — we remain available to answer your questions and guide you throughout your healing journey.

It’s not always easy to choose among the various types of injections available for musculoskeletal pain. Each one has its own indications and benefits. In this brief overview, we’ll break down the main types of injections to help you understand their purpose and advantages. 
Cortisone injection 
This is an effective option for reducing inflammation and pain caused by conditions like tendinitis, bursitis, and osteoarthritis. It helps improve mobility, reduce reliance on pain medication, and may delay surgical interventions. Its targeted action offers fast relief and helps restore daily function. 
Viscosupplementation injection 
This treatment relieves osteoarthritis-related pain by improving joint lubrication. It reduces friction, promotes smoother movement, and decreases the need for oral medications. Commonly treated joints include the knee, hip, shoulder, and ankle. Its effect usually lasts longer than cortisone, though it may take more time to reach full benefit.
 
Prolotherapy 
See our article: What is prolotherapy? 

Prolotherapy is a safe and effective treatment for chronic or persistent pain. It’s particularly beneficial for musculoskeletal injuries such as tendinopathies, ligament sprains, and osteoarthritis. By injecting a regenerative solution into the affected tissues, it triggers a controlled inflammatory response that promotes collagen production. This strengthens tendons, ligaments, and joints, enhancing stability and reducing pain. It offers a natural alternative to cortisone injections.

Ultrasound guidance ensures that the needle reaches the exact target structure, increasing the accuracy and effectiveness of the treatment while reducing the risk of complications or misplacement. It also improves patient comfort by minimizing pain and optimizing outcomes.
