The Alberta Pain Clinic offers a range of injection treatments that broadly fall into the categories of therapeutic or regenerative. The decision for which treatment is most appropriate will be determined based on clinical assessment, diagnostic imaging, and patient preference.

We will typically advise against the use of corticosteroids (or NSAIDs) as these can contribute to worsening joint instability and disease progression.
