Many musculoskeletal conditions, including arthritis, tendonitis, and bursitis, are treated with cortisone injections, also known as corticosteroid injections. As part of Direct Primary Care (DPC), patients receive safe, effective, and customized cortisone injections tailored to their specific needs through comprehensive support and coordinated services.
Expert Evaluation and Diagnosis:
During the cortisone injection process, DPC evaluates and diagnoses the patient's musculoskeletal condition thoroughly. DPC ensures accurate diagnosis and identifies the most appropriate indications for cortisone injections by assessing symptoms, performing physical exams, and reviewing medical history and imaging studies.
Injection Site Selection and Technique:
Using expertise in musculoskeletal medicine, DPC determines the best injection site and technique to administer cortisone. To maximize efficacy and minimize complications, DPC ensures precise injection placement, whether targeting joints, tendons, or bursae.
Pain Management and Comfort:
Pain management and patient comfort are of the utmost importance during the cortisone injection procedure at DPC. To minimize discomfort and pain associated with the procedure, topical anesthetics or ice packs may be used, along with gentle injection techniques.
Post-injection Monitoring and Follow-Up:
Following cortisone injection, DPC provides post-injection monitoring and follow-up to assess treatment response and address any concerns or complications that may arise. To optimize outcomes, follow-up appointments may be scheduled, infections or adverse reactions monitored, and treatment plans adjusted as necessary.
Personalized Treatment Approach:
With cortisone injections, DPC takes into account each patient's unique medical history, musculoskeletal condition, and treatment goals to provide a personalized treatment approach. DPC ensures patients receive optimal treatment and achieve the best possible outcomes by tailoring injection techniques and treatment plans to meet individual needs and preferences.
Accessibility and Convenience:
With DPC, patients can easily access cortisone injections and follow-up care because it prioritizes accessibility and convenience. In addition to offering flexible scheduling, same-day appointments, and telemedicine consultations, DPC also ensures that patients have easy access to treatment services in a timely and convenient manner.
Continuity of Care and Support:
Cortisone injection patients can count on DPC to provide continuity of care and ongoing support, and we serve as a resource for questions, concerns, and follow-up. Patients can navigate their treatment journey with confidence and peace of mind when DPC fosters strong doctor-patient relationships and provides consistent, coordinated care.
Pre-procedural Preparation and Education:
To help patients understand what to expect during cortisone injection procedures, DPC provides pre-procedural preparation and education. In order to alleviate anxiety and ensure informed consent, patients may be asked about the injection's purpose, how it works, and any questions or concerns they may have.
Post-procedural Recovery Guidance:
To promote optimal healing and recovery after cortisone injection, DPC provides post-procedural recovery guidance. As well as advising patients on activity modification, pain management strategies, and possible side effects or complications to watch for, follow-up appointments may also be scheduled to monitor the patient's response to treatment.
