Intra-articular peripheral joint injections are non-invasive procedures used to treat joint pain and swelling when mild analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs provide insufficient relief. This procedure is commonly used to provide relief from rheumatoid arthritis and can also be used to treat degenerative musculoskeletal diseases and joint injuries. When effective, these injections can be used as part of an ongoing treatment regimen to manage chronic pain and inflammation.
