What conditions might benefit from a steroid injection?

Corticosteroid injections can help reduce inflammation and pain in conditions like frozen shoulder, bursitis, osteoarthritis, synovitis, and tendinopathy. They’re often used when pain limits movement or participation in rehabilitation. Injections are not a cure but can support recovery by improving comfort and enabling more effective rehab. A thorough clinical assessment is essential to determine if an injection is appropriate. At Atlas Sports & Exercise Medicine, we use them as part of a broader treatment plan to help you stay active, recover faster, and get back to doing what you love.
