Powerful Pain Injections That Help You Move Forward

Pain can follow you long after the accident. Whether you’re struggling with lower back pain, aching joints, or tight, knotted muscles, injections may offer the relief you’ve sought. At McCarron Law Firm, we fight to help our clients recover compensation and reclaim their lives, including assisting them in accessing advanced medical care right here in Central Illinois.

One of the most versatile pain management options available today? Targeted pain injections.

These minimally invasive procedures are often used to reduce inflammation, relieve pressure, and provide lasting relief, especially when physical therapy or medications are ineffective.

Common and Effective Pain Injections Include:

Epidural Steroid Injections

Used for conditions like herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis, epidural injections help reduce inflammation in the spinal region. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, epidurals can relieve pain that radiates to the arms, legs, and lower back—often with fast results.

Facet Joint Injections

Also called Z-joint injections, these target the small joints between vertebrae in the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), or lumbar (lower back) spine. Reducing inflammation here can significantly ease stiffness and pain caused by arthritis, injury, or wear and tear.

Trigger Point Injections

These injections treat muscle “knots” that don’t relax, often caused by overuse, trauma, or stress. A mix of anesthetic and sometimes corticosteroids (or even Botox) is injected into the tight spot to release tension and relieve referred pain.

Viscosupplementation (Hyaluronic Acid Injections)

Primarily used in larger joints like the knees, hips, or shoulders, this gel-like substance acts as a lubricant and shock absorber — easing movement and reducing joint pain caused by osteoarthritis.

 Cortisone Shots

Cortisone is a strong anti-inflammatory medication that often provides quick, short-term pain relief. While its benefits may not last as long as those of HA injections, it’s a widely used and effective option for flare-ups.
