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
What are the benefits of intra-articular drug injection
- The greatest advantage is that the therapeutic substance — such as hyaluronic acid, plasma, or a regenerative compound — acts directly at the site of the problem.
- This means the active ingredients reach exactly where they are needed to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve joint lubrication.
- Another benefit is that the procedure is quick, outpatient, and minimally taxing on the body. The treatment usually takes no more than a few minutes, is performed under local anaesthesia, and requires no hospitalisation or lengthy recovery. After a brief rest, you can return to your normal activities.
- A major advantage is also the ability to delay or even completely prevent joint surgery, which provides significant relief for many patients — both physically and psychologically.
- Thanks to the injection of therapeutic substances into the joint, pain is reduced, range of motion improves, and the cartilage is better protected against further wear.
- Many patients can remain active without limitations and with less need for painkillers.
- A further plus is that the procedure is safe and tailored to the individual — the type of substance, dosage, and application technique are always designed according to your health condition and needs.

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.
