What Should You Expect from Regenerative Joint Injections?
Patients undergoing regenerative joint injections should expect a minimally invasive procedure with relatively quick recovery times. The process typically begins with a consultation where the healthcare provider assesses the patient’s joint condition and determines whether regenerative injections are appropriate. On the day of the procedure, biological material is collected from the patient, processed, and then injected into the damaged joint. Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the injection, and the procedure is usually completed within an hour. After the injection, patients may experience some soreness or swelling at the injection site, which usually subsides within a few days.
In terms of outcomes, it’s important to note that regenerative joint injections often take time to show full effects. While some patients may notice improvements within a few weeks, it can take several months for the body’s healing processes to fully regenerate the damaged tissue. Multiple treatment sessions may be required, especially for chronic or severe joint conditions. Patients can expect gradual improvements in joint function, mobility, and pain reduction over time. While recovery varies from person to person, most individuals are able to resume normal activities shortly after treatment with minimal downtime.
