Have you been told to get or given a referra lfor a cortisone?
A cortisone injection or CSI is a steroid injection used to reduce pain in musculoskeletal injuries or “worn” joints.
Orchard in 2019 found that although it may alleviate your pain SHORT TERM, patients can suffer a quicker path to joint replacement or speed up the deterioration of soft tissues.
CSI can be a really useful tool for post-injury recovery, but before you consider if it is necessary for you, give us a ring and book in to discuss the pro’s and con’s for your unique situation.
If you HAVE had a cortisone then we need to use this opportunity to strengthen and improve your function long term.
