Joint & Soft Tissue Injections in Edmonton
Joint and soft tissue injections place medicine into a painful joint, bursa, tendon area or nearby tissue. Solis first checks what is causing the pain and which injection type fits.

Problems we inject
A physician examines the joint or tendon first and confirms that an injection is the right tool before anything is booked.
- Shoulder bursitis and frozen shoulder
- Knee osteoarthritis flares
- Hip bursitis
- Tennis and golfer's elbow
- Tendon and bursa inflammation elsewhere
Which injection type fits
Three different injections are used around joints and soft tissue here, and they work in opposite directions. The assessment decides which one suits the problem.
A cortisone injection suppresses inflammation to calm an inflamed structure. Viscosupplementation adds hyaluronic acid to lubricate a joint in mild to moderate osteoarthritis. Prolotherapy causes a small, controlled amount of inflammation so the body strengthens weakened tendons and ligaments.
Where the pain is coming from a muscle rather than the joint itself, trigger point injections may be the better fit.
The point of an injection
An inflamed joint guards itself. You move it less, it stiffens more, and rehab hurts too much to do. A well-placed injection breaks that loop and buys weeks of calm in which physiotherapy and movement can do the lasting work. The injection is the door, not the destination.
Safety and when to get help
Soreness, bruising, bleeding, infection, skin change or a medicine reaction can happen. Risk depends on the site and product.
A hot swollen joint with fever needs urgent assessment. Tell the clinician about diabetes, infection, allergies and medicines that affect bleeding.
Your visit, step by step
- 01
Assess
The physician examines the joint and confirms injection is the right tool, and which type fits. Imaging only if it changes the plan.
- 02
Inject
Skin cleaned and numbed, then a precise injection into the joint or soft tissue, with ultrasound guidance where it helps.
- 03
Settle
Take it easy for a day. How quickly relief builds depends on which injection was used.
- 04
Rebuild
Use the calm window with movement, physio and strength work so the relief holds.
Who this is for, and who it isn't
A good fit if
- A specific joint that flares or will not settle
- Rehab stalled because movement hurts too much
- Arthritic joints between longer-term options
Probably not, if
- Joint infections or fever with joint pain, which is urgent care today
- A joint already replaced or awaiting surgery without your surgeon's input
- Expecting injections alone to fix weakness, so pair them with rehab
What else may help?
Activity changes, exercise-based rehab, oral or topical medicine, imaging, aspiration or specialist referral may fit better. An injection should support a wider plan when one is used.
Visit the West Edmonton clinic

Frequently asked questions
Which injection will I get?
That is decided at the assessment, not before it. The choice depends on whether the structure is inflamed, worn or weakened. Read cortisone injection in Edmonton and viscosupplementation in Edmonton for what each one does.
Are joint injections guided by ultrasound?
At Solis, we have ultrasound to help guide injections where guidance improves accuracy.
Do joint injections hurt?
A pinch and pressure with the numbing. Most patients rate it far easier than expected.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book an assessment directly. Bring any imaging reports and your medication list so the physician can build on the work already done.
