Ultrasound Guided Joint Injections in Lake Stevens

Joint injections can be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for certain types of musculoskeletal pain, arthritis, tendon problems, and inflammation.

Depending on your diagnosis and goals, an injection may be considered for areas such as:

● Knee pain and knee osteoarthritis

● Shoulder pain

● Hip pain

● Elbow pain

● Wrist and hand pain

● Ankle and foot pain

● Tendon and ligament-related pain

● Other localized musculoskeletal conditions

​

The type of injection used depends on the joint, underlying condition, examination findings, medical history, and treatment goals.

Our approach is individualized rather than using the same injection for every patient.

​

​

What Are Prolotherapy Injections?

Prolotherapy, also called proliferative therapy, is a non-surgical injection technique used to address certain chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions.

A commonly used form of prolotherapy uses a concentrated dextrose solution injected around painful or weakened structures. The goal is to stimulate a localized healing response and potentially improve the function of tissues surrounding the affected area.

​

​

Potential Benefits of Prolotherapy

Depending on the condition being treated, potential benefits may include:

● Reduction in joint or soft-tissue pain

● Improved function

● Improved tolerance for exercise and rehabilitation

● Support for surrounding connective tissues

● A non-surgical treatment option

● The ability to combine treatment with physical therapy and strengthening

Prolotherapy is not appropriate for every patient. A medical evaluation is important to determine whether it is a reasonable option for your particular condition.

Therapeutic Laser for Joint & Musculoskeletal Pain

Laser therapy may be used as an adjunct to a broader treatment plan for certain musculoskeletal conditions.

Photobiomodulation uses specific wavelengths of light delivered to tissue with the goal of influencing cellular activity. Depending on the device and treatment protocol, therapeutic laser may be used to support pain management and recovery.

​

Potential Benefits of Therapeutic Laser

Depending on the condition and treatment protocol, therapeutic laser may be used to:

● Support pain management

● Reduce discomfort associated with certain soft-tissue conditions

● Support tissue recovery

● Complement other conservative treatments

● Help patients participate more comfortably in rehabilitation

therapeutic laser technology as an adjunct to treatment when appropriate.

​

Laser-based photobiomodulation is intended to deliver therapeutic light energy to targeted areas. It may be incorporated into a comprehensive approach to musculoskeletal discomfort and recovery.

Potential goals may include:

● Supporting temporary pain relief

● Supporting tissue recovery

● Helping decrease discomfort

● Complementing joint injection treatment

● Supporting participation in physical therapy and rehabilitation

Laser therapy is not a replacement for appropriate diagnosis, exercise therapy, or other indicated medical treatment.

 

Peptide Therapy & Joint Health

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can influence biological signaling pathways. Interest in peptide therapy has grown significantly in sports medicine, wellness, and regenerative medicine.

Some peptides are being investigated for potential roles in tissue recovery, inflammation, musculoskeletal health, and other biological processes.

​

At Team Wellness, peptide therapy should be approached as an individualized medical discussion rather than a guaranteed treatment for arthritis or joint injury.

Potential Reasons Patients Ask About Peptide Therapy

Patients may be interested in peptide therapy as part of a broader wellness or recovery strategy involving:

● Exercise recovery

● Soft-tissue recovery

● Musculoskeletal health

● Supporting an active lifestyle

● Overall wellness optimization

We evaluate each patient individually and discuss available evidence, potential risks, alternatives, and whether a particular therapy is appropriate.

 

A Comprehensive Approach to Joint Pain

Joint pain is rarely about one factor alone.

Our approach may combine several strategies depending on your condition:

1. Evaluation

We begin by reviewing your symptoms, medical history, activity level, previous injuries, and treatment history.

2. Identify the Problem

We determine whether your symptoms may be related to osteoarthritis, tendon or ligament problems, inflammation, injury, muscle weakness, biomechanics, or another condition.

3. Individualized Treatment

Depending on your situation, treatment may include:

Joint injections + Prolotherapy + Therapeutic laser + Peptide therapy when appropriate + Physical therapy + Exercise and lifestyle recommendations

4. Rehabilitation

The goal is to help you safely improve movement, strength, stability, and function rather than relying exclusively on passive treatment.

​

Who May Benefit From a Joint Pain Evaluation?

● Chronic knee pain

● Shoulder pain

● Hip pain

● Joint stiffness

● Pain with exercise

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a joint injection?

A joint injection delivers medication or another therapeutic substance into or around a joint or painful musculoskeletal structure. The specific substance and injection technique depend on the patient’s diagnosis and treatment goals.

​

What is prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy is an injection-based treatment that commonly uses concentrated dextrose to stimulate a localized tissue response. Research suggests it may improve pain and function in some musculoskeletal conditions, but results are variable and additional high-quality research is needed. (NCBI)

Can prolotherapy help knee arthritis?

Some studies report improvements in knee pain and function following dextrose prolotherapy.

​

Does laser therapy help joint pain?

Therapeutic laser or photobiomodulation may be used as an adjunct for certain musculoskeletal conditions. Results depend on the specific device, wavelength, dosage, treatment protocol, and condition being treated.

​

What are peptide therapies?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can influence biological signaling. Some peptide therapies are FDA-approved for specific medical indications, while others promoted for musculoskeletal recovery remain investigational. Patients should discuss potential benefits, risks, alternatives, and regulatory status before treatment. (PubMed)

Should I do physical therapy after a joint injection?

For many musculoskeletal conditions, rehabilitation can be an important part of recovery. Physical therapy can help improve strength, mobility, stability, and movement mechanics. Team Wellness can coordinate a physical therapy referral when appropriate.

Do I need an evaluation before treatment?

Yes. An evaluation allows us to determine whether joint injection, prolotherapy, laser therapy, physical therapy, or another approach is appropriate for your symptoms.
