Peripheral joint injections deliver medication directly into the joint space of the knee, hip, shoulder, or other affected joints. Using ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance, Dr. Osman ensures the medication reaches the intra-articular space precisely. This approach treats inflammation at its source and can provide significant relief for arthritis, bursitis, and joint degeneration.
