Intra-Articular Drug Injection

We treat joint pain on an outpatient basis, without limiting physical or work activity

The application of therapeutic substances into the joint is a modern and effective method for alleviating pain, improving joint mobility and slowing further cartilage wear. This outpatient procedure is an ideal solution for anyone troubled by osteoarthritis, joint wear, chronic pain or limited range of motion.

At Medical Institut, we specialise in the precise application of hyaluronic acid, plasma or other therapeutic substances that are injected directly into the affected joint. As a result, the active substance acts directly at the site of the problem, reducing pain, alleviating inflammation and improving lubrication of the joint cartilage.

The advantage of this method is that it is quick, gentle and performed on an outpatient basis, without the need for hospitalisation. After treatment, the patient can soon return to normal activities, often with significant pain relief.

Before & After

Jaké jsou výhody aplikace léčivých látek do kloubu

  • Největší výhodou je, že léčivá látka — například kyselina hyaluronová, plazma nebo regenerační směs — působí přímo v místě problému.
  • To znamená, že se účinné látky dostanou přesně tam, kde je potřeba zmírnit zánět, snížit bolest a zlepšit kloubní lubrikaci.
  • Dalším benefitem je, že aplikace je rychlá, ambulantní a minimálně zatěžující. Zákrok obvykle netrvá déle než pár minut, probíhá v lokálním znecitlivění a není nutná hospitalizace ani dlouhá rekonvalescence. Po krátkém klidu se můžete vrátit k běžným činnostem.
  • Velkou výhodou je také to, že tato metoda dokáže oddálit nebo i zcela předejít operaci kloubu, což je pro mnoho pacientů výrazná úleva — jak zdravotní, tak psychická.
  • Díky aplikaci léčivé látky do kloubu se snižuje bolest, zlepšuje se rozsah pohybu a chrupavka je lépe chráněná před dalším opotřebením.
  • Mnoho pacientů díky tomu může zůstat aktivních bez omezení a s menší potřebou užívání léků na bolest.
  • Velkým plusem je i to, že zákrok je bezpečný a přizpůsobený na míru — typ látky, dávkování i technika aplikace jsou vždy navržené podle vašeho zdravotního stavu a potřeb.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the procedure take and is it painful?

The procedure usually takes 30 to 60 minutes and is performed in completely comfortable conditions. We apply a numbing cream before the treatment, so you only feel minimal discomfort.

When will I see the first results?

You will usually notice the first improvement within a few days to weeks after the initial treatment. For optimal results, we recommend a series of sessions according to an individual plan.

What is the cost and how many sessions will I need?

The exact number of treatments and total cost are determined after an initial consultation with our specialist. Typically, it involves 3–6 sessions at intervals of several weeks.

Are there any risks or contraindications?

The procedure is among the safest methods. Before the first treatment, we will discuss your health condition and evaluate any contraindications. Slight redness at the injection site is common and subsides quickly.
