A joint injection is a medical procedure in which a doctor injects medication directly into a joint. The medication can be used to reduce inflammation and pain, or to deliver drugs that can help with pain management.

Joint injections are typically performed on the knee, elbow, hip, or shoulder, and are typically done using a local anesthetic to numb the area.

The procedure itself is typically quick and relatively painless, and can be an effective way to manage pain and improve mobility in the affected joint. These services are fully covered by the OHIP system.
