Pain that persists after cortisone shots or gel injections is a common concern. These treatments may reduce inflammation temporarily, but they don’t address the deeper issues that are causing your discomfort.Â
At Michigan Integrative Health, we focus on finding long-term solutions for your chronic pain. Our team includes a physician and nurse practitioner who provide regenerative alternatives to traditional treatments in Shelby Township and Rochester Hills, Michigan.
Why Traditional Treatments May Not Work
Cortisone shots and gel injections are common options for managing joint pain, but the relief they provide doesn’t last. Over time, many people find that these treatments stop working, leaving them with limited options like surgery – an invasive step with significant risks and no guarantee of complete pain relief.
Here is why they sometimes fail to work in the long run:Â
- Cortisone Shots: These injections aim to reduce inflammation and ease pain in the short term. However, repeated use can weaken joint structures, damage surrounding tissues, and accelerate the progression of joint degeneration. This can lead to worsening pain and limited effectiveness after each subsequent injection.
- Gel Injections: These are made to lubricate the joint and improve mobility, but they don’t address the tissue damage that’s causing your pain. Over time, as joint degeneration continues, the effects of these injections often diminish.
A New Approach to Chronic Pain
At Michigan Integrative Health, we take a different approach to your pain. Instead of masking symptoms, we focus on healing and repairing damaged tissues using treatments that work with your body’s natural processes.Â
During your first visit, we’ll perform a detailed evaluation to determine whether you’re a candidate for our care. We accept patients who show measurable improvements in pain, motion, or strength during this initial assessment.
We’ve designed our methods to create lasting results for you. We want to help you regain mobility, strength, and quality of life without having to rely on drugs or surgery.
