Pain injections are targeted treatments used to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation in specific areas of the body. These minimally invasive procedures provide effective relief and improve mobility for conditions affecting joints and soft tissues.
*Please note that ultrasound-guided injections are not currently available to Quebec patients holding a valid RAMQ health card. However, fluoroscopy-guided injections remain available and are covered under RAMQ for eligible Quebec patients.
Pain injections are specialized treatments designed to reduce pain and inflammation in targeted areas of the body, providing relief for patients with chronic pain or injuries. These procedures are minimally invasive, performed with precision to deliver medication directly to the source of pain, often under ultrasound or imaging guidance for accuracy.

PRF is obtained by drawing a small blood sample from the patient, which is then placed in a specialized centrifuge without the addition of any chemicals. Unlike PRP(platelet-rich plasma), PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) allows for a more sophisticated and natural approach to pain relief as the creation of a fibrin matrix is then injected into the area of interest which aims to promote tissue regeneration and accelerates the healing process.
Pain injections will be tailored to the area of interest provided in the referral form submitted. Most musculoskeletal body parts such as wrists, knees, shoulders, hips, elbows, and ankles can be completed at our facilities. Upon receiving your referral, our expert medical team will review the request, and our staff will contact you by telephone within 48 business hours to provide you with a complete price and next available appointment.
While cortisone injections can provide significant pain relief and reduce inflammation, they are not a cure for underlying conditions such as arthritis or tendonitis. The goal of this pain management technique is to alleviate symptoms and improve function. Other treatments, such as physical therapy, lifestyle changes, or a PRF injection may be better suited for long-term management.
In most cases, you can resume normal activities shortly after a cortisone injection, but it is recommended to avoid any heavy exercise or strenuous activities for at least 24-48 hours to allow the injection to settle.
The frequency of cortisone injections depends on the condition being treated and your doctor’s assessment. In our facilities, we recommend getting a cortisone injection only every 6 months if there is a positive response.
The effects of a cortisone injection can vary, but many patients start feeling relief within a few days to a week after the injection. The benefits can last for weeks to months, depending on the condition and individual response.
While the injection itself may cause some discomfort, most people tolerate cortisone injections well. The needle used is usually small, and many patients feel only a brief, sharp sensation. To minimize discomfort, our medical team may apply a local anesthetic before the injection.
Cortisone injections work by delivering a corticosteroid medication directly into the inflamed area, where it helps reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling. It is guided by ultrasound to ensure that the area of interest is properly targeted.
Cortisone injections are typically used to treat conditions that cause inflammation and pain, such as arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, joint pain or swelling, and more.
A cortisone injection is a type of treatment that involves the injection of a corticosteroid medication into a specific area of the body, such as a joint, muscle, or tendon to alleviate pain or inflammation. Corticosteroids are powerful anti-inflammatory drugs that help reduce swelling, pain, and inflammation in the targeted area.
