Injections for intra-articular and soft tissue pain

Targeted and lasting relief for joint and tendon pain by our podiatrists in Montreal

Understand

What are joint/soft tissue pain injections?

Foot or ankle pain, whether originating from joints or soft tissues (tendons, ligaments, fascia), can significantly impact your daily mobility. Therapeutic injections offer a targeted solution for rapid and effective pain relief and inflammation reduction.

At Clinique Podiatrique Mont-Royal (Plateau) and Griffintown, we offer injection treatments tailored to each condition. Our podiatrists use cortisone injections to quickly reduce inflammation, as well as viscoelastic products (SportVis, Orthovisc) that promote joint lubrication and support natural tissue healing.

These procedures are particularly effective for treating foot and ankle osteoarthritis, tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and chronic pain following injuries. Performed with precision by a podiatrist, they aim for fast and lasting relief without surgery.

Whether you are an active individual, an athlete, or simply looking for an effective pain treatment, book an appointment for a personalized evaluation and regain control over your joint comfort.

Cortisone Injection

A powerful anti-inflammatory injected directly into the painful area to quickly reduce inflammation and pain. Particularly effective for tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and bursitis.

Viscosupplementation

Injection of viscoelastic products (SportVis, Orthovisc) based on hyaluronic acid that restores natural joint lubrication. Ideal for foot and ankle osteoarthritis, this approach promotes tissue healing.

Ultrasound-guided Injection

Thanks to musculoskeletal ultrasound, your podiatrist visualizes internal foot structures in real-time to guide the needle with optimal precision.

What conditions can be treated with injections?

Injections are effective for many foot and ankle pathologies: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, osteoarthritis, bursitis, Morton's neuroma, capsulite, and chronic pain following injuries. Your podiatrist will evaluate your condition to determine if an injection is the most appropriate treatment.

Can one receive multiple cortisone injections?

Yes, but the number of cortisone injections is usually limited for the same joint to preserve tissue integrity. Generally, a maximum of 3 to 4 injections per year in the same area is recommended. If cortisone injections are insufficient, your podiatrist may suggest alternatives like viscosupplementation.

Are injections covered by insurance?

Injections performed by a podiatrist may be covered by private insurance that includes podiatric care. The cost of the injected products (cortisone or hyaluronic acid) may be covered separately depending on your plan. We recommend checking your policy details or contacting our clinic for more information.
