Joint Injections

Global Pain Solutions specializes in joint injection therapies designed to relieve stiffness and discomfort in joints caused by inflammation and irritation. People experience joint pain for a variety of reasons, ranging from chronic ongoing pain to sharp, acute pain triggered by specific movements. Persistent joint issues can lead to reduced mobility and seriously impact daily life. Several types of joint injections are available, each with unique goals such as controlling pain, reducing inflammation, or helping diagnose joint problems. At Global Pain Solutions, the primary focus is on restoring movement and relieving pain in critical joints—including the knees, shoulders, hips, and ankles—so patients can return to normal routines, physical activity, and enjoy an improved range of motion. If you need help managing pain, contact at 602-610-7299 or book an appointment online.

Joint injections deliver rapid relief and possess anti-inflammatory benefits that help ease swelling and discomfort.


During these procedures, the affected joint is examined using an ultrasound machine for precise placement. After thorough sanitization, a needle is guided into the joint using real-time imaging. Steroids and local anesthetics are then administered to minimize pain and inflammation. These quick, outpatient treatments are popular because they can be safely performed in-office.


Global Pain Solutions offers a wide range of joint injection treatments, including:

  • Epidural steroid injections
  • Facet joint injections
  • Viscosupplementation injections
  • Corticosteroid injections
  • Hyaluronic acid injections

Many individuals report a significant drop in pain and regain the ability to participate in their usual activities after treatment.
