Should You Get A Cortisone Injection? Cockburn Chiropractor Near Coogee, Success And Fremantle

20/7/2019

Picture
Cortisone is a natural substance released by our body in reaction to stress. It is also commonly injected to relieve joint pains such as arthritis, shoulder pain, plantar fasciitis and sciatica. Cortisone, when administered, has been found to help reduce pain and inflammation. However, too much of a good thing can be detrimental. We shall explore the pros and cons of cortisone injection for joint pain.
Pros
• Cortisone injection can provide effective, short term relieve for joint pains. However, the exact duration of relieve is inconclusive. 
• Cortisone injection is relatively easy and harmless to administer.
 
 
Cons
• Cortisone doesn’t address the root cause of the problem so the problem may deteriorate and relapse in the future. 
• Cortisone injection has been shown to accelerate cartilage damage, causing accelerated degeneration at the segment. Therefore, it is not recommended for younger patients with health joints.
• Tendon weakening and rupture is a common side effect from cortisone injection.
• Regular cortisone injections is NOT beneficial for long-term pain relief. 
 
 
In summary, cortisone is a useful anti-inflammatory for pain relief in the SHORT TERM. However, it is not without detrimental side effects. So, where does that leave us on the usage of cortisone injection? 
 
Cortisone injection is NOT A FIX for musculoskeletal pain. It should only be considered after a trial of chiropractic care consisting of rehabilitation and manual therapy. The CORRECT usage of cortisone is to reduce the pain and inflammation to allow the patients to continue working with their chiropractor to correct the root cause of their problem.
