Understanding the Limitations of Cortisone Injections at Austin Chiropractic & Acupuncture Clinic

At Austin Chiropractic & Acupuncture Clinic, led by Dr. Justin Swanson in Austin, TX, we believe in exploring the root causes of pain rather than just treating the symptoms. Cortisone injections, commonly used for joint inflammation, tendonitis, and bursitis, offer temporary relief but often fail to address the underlying issues.

Temporary Relief vs. True Healing

Cortisone injections provide quick pain relief by reducing inflammation. However, they only mask the pain without treating the actual cause, leading to a cycle of dependency and potential worsening of the underlying condition.

Why Cortisone Falls Short

• Masking Pain: Cortisone creates an illusion of healing by silencing pain signals temporarily.
• Short-Lived Relief: The relief duration varies, often leading to repeated injections with diminishing returns.
• No Healing or Regeneration: Cortisone does not promote tissue repair or address structural issues.

The Downside of Relying on Cortisone

While cortisone injections can be part of pain management, they should not be the only solution due to potential complications and the risk of delaying proper diagnosis and treatment.

Risks and Complications

• Complications: Repeated injections can weaken tissues and increase injury risk.
• Delayed Diagnosis: Masking symptoms can lead to progression of the underlying condition.
