Hip joint pain is a common complaint and is often related to hip joint osteoarthritis. Commonly hip joint pain is experienced as a deep aching sensation in the groin that is worse with walking or standing. Hip Joint Injections can help.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” admin_label=”About Area” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|40px|0|40px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”|0px||0px||true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#002f47″ text_font_size=”17px” text_line_height=”1.5em” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#33658a” header_2_font_size=”25px” header_2_letter_spacing=”1px” header_3_font=”||||||||” animation_style=”fold” animation_direction=”left” animation_intensity_fold=”5%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” hover_enabled=”0″ header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n A hip injection is a minimally invasive procedure that can temporarily relieve pain caused by an inflamed or irritated hip joint. Using precision guidance a small amount of steroid and local anesthesia is placed directly into the hip joint. A hip injection has two potential purposes. First, it can be used as a diagnostic test to see if the t pain is actually coming from your hip. Second, it can be used as a treatment to relieve inflammation and pain. Pain relief may last or several days to years, but 3-4 months is average. The goal is to reduce pain so that you may resume normal activities and a physical therapy program. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Patients who take blood thinner medication (Coumadin, Heparin, Plavix, Ticlid, Fragmin, Orgaran, Lovenox, high-dose aspirin) may need to stop taking their medications prior to the ESI. You must obtain approval from your prescribing physician prior to stopping any medication.<\/span><\/p>\n If you think you may be pregnant or are trying to get pregnant, please tell the doctor. Fluoroscopy X-rays are used during the procedure may be harmful to the fetus.<\/span><\/p>\n Sedation is rarely necessary or used, but If it is used you must take nothing by mouth for 4 hours prior to the procedure. <\/span><\/p>\n The patient lays face down on the table, the skin is cleaned and the skin is numbed with a local anesthetic. <\/span><\/p>\n With the aid of a fluoroscope (a special X-ray), the doctor directs a needle through the skin to the area of the facet joints. Fluoroscopy allows the doctor to inject contrast and ensure correct placement of the needle. <\/span><\/p>\n When the needle is in place, the medications are delivered on to each facet joint. The needle is then removed. <\/span><\/p>\n Most patients can walk around immediately after the procedure. After being monitored for a short time, you usually can leave the office or suite. Someone must drive you home. <\/span><\/p>\n Typically patients resume full activity the next day although we do recommend \u2018taking it easy\u2019 for 2-3 days after the procedure. Soreness around the injection site may be relieved by using ice and taking a mild analgesic (Tylenol). The patient may resume taking all medications immediately after the procedure. <\/span><\/p>\n Generally, hip injections begin to work within 3 or 4 days although it may take as long as 7 days for the steroid to start working. <\/span><\/p>\n Most patients experience some pain relief from facet injection, on average lasting form 3-4 months. <\/span><\/p>\n As with any procedure, there are both potential risks and benefits. ESI is generally safe and serious complications are rare especially when using proper safety techniques such as fluoroscopy. The potential risks associated with inserting the needle include spinal headache from a dural puncture, bleeding, infection, allergic reaction, elevated blood pressure, nerve damage\/paralysis (rare) and death. Corticosteroid side effects may cause weight gain, water retention, flushing (hot flashes), mood swings, insomnia, and elevated blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. Any numbness or mild muscle weakness usually resolves within 3-8 hours in the affected arm or leg (similar to the facial numbness experienced after dental work). <\/span><\/p>\n ESI should NOT be performed on people who have an infection, are pregnant, or have bleeding problems. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” admin_label=”About Area” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|40px|0|40px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”|0px||0px||true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/carolinaona.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/hip-joint-injection.jpg” alt=”hip-joint-injection” title_text=”hip-joint-injection” _builder_version=”4.18.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n 1330 Boiling Springs Rd, Ste 1600 Hours: 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 115 Deacon Tiller Ct.
