What Are Joint Aspirations and Injections?
Joint aspirations (arthrocentesis) and joint injections are non-surgical orthopedic procedures used to diagnose and treat:

They are particularly effective for managing hip joint discomfort when conventional treatments like NSAIDs or oral medications fail.

These procedures are ideal for patients experiencing:
- Persistent hip pain
- Hip swelling not improving with medication
- Stiffness due to joint fluid buildup
- Suspected arthritis, gout, or infection
Common Use Cases

Joint Injection

- A fine needle is used to:
