Cortisone is a very safe and useful
medication. The type of cortisone given is similar to the
type of cortisone your body produces naturally. It is useful
in halting an ongoing inflammatory process that is impeding
your body’s ability
to heal itself. It can, in many instances, halt the painful
process permanently. In other instances, it is useful in
the short-term treatment of pain so additional modalities
have a greater opportunity to effect a cure of the problem.
Cortisone will not dissolve
bone spurs, but it is useful
in shrinking swollen and inflamed soft tissues.
If a cortisone injection is suggested and you have concerns,
we encourage you to discuss them with us. Our goal is to provide
you with the highest quality care. Part of providing that care
is ensuring that you are comfortable with the plan and understand
the treatment.
