Cortisone Injection

Are you considering a cortisone injection to relieve persistent pain?

The podiatrists at Clinique Mon Podiatre specialize in this approach and offer precise expertise. Whether it’s to treat plantar fasciitis, Morton’s neuroma, tendonitis, or any other condition requiring targeted anti-inflammatory treatment, we are here to evaluate your situation and propose a tailored treatment plan.

Cortisone, or corticosteroid, is a natural hormone produced by the body. In rheumatology, injectable corticosteroids have been used for intra-articular infiltrations for over 50 years to treat various inflammatory and painful conditions.

Cortisone injections are commonly used to treat arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, and other inflammatory joint conditions. They are often employed when other treatments, such as oral anti-inflammatories or physiotherapy, have not been sufficiently effective.

Due to potential risks associated with excessive use, the number of injections should be limited to a maximum of 4 per year in the same joint.

Before the injection, the affected area is typically numbed to reduce discomfort. After the injection, there may be a rest period to allow the medication to take effect and to avoid excessive use of the treated joint.
