David S.
I had been dealing with lower back pain for over a year. After one epidural steroid injection at Mountain Spine, I was back to my normal routine within a week. The whole process took less than 30 minutes.

Christina J.
My knee was so bad I could barely walk. The cortisone shot they gave me at the Wellington office worked better than anything I had tried before. Six months later and I am still doing well.

Dean W.
I was nervous about needles but the doctor numbed the area first and I barely felt a thing. The facet injection relieved my neck pain faster than I expected. I would recommend this to anyone.

An orthopedic injection is a targeted delivery of anti-inflammatory medication, local anesthetic, or other therapeutic substance directly into a joint, bursa, tendon sheath, or spinal space. By treating the source of pain precisely, injections can achieve higher therapeutic concentrations with fewer systemic side effects than oral medications.
Orthopedic injections serve multiple purposes: providing pain relief, reducing inflammation, restoring joint lubrication, and confirming the exact source of pain as a diagnostic tool. For many patients, they are an effective non-surgical alternative — or a bridge treatment that reduces pain enough to allow participation in recovery activities.
The most common types include cortisone shots (corticosteroid injections), epidural steroid injections for spine-related nerve pain, facet joint injections for spinal arthritis, SI joint injections for sacroiliac joint pain, nerve block injections for targeted nerve pain, and hyaluronic acid (gel) injections for knee osteoarthritis.
At Mountain Spine & Orthopedics, every orthopedic injection is performed by board-certified orthopedic surgeons and pain management specialists using fluoroscopy or ultrasound image guidance — ensuring the medication is delivered precisely to the site of pain with maximum accuracy and safety.

Our board-certified specialists use image-guided injections to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal and spinal conditions. If you have received any of the diagnoses below, you may be a strong candidate for non-surgical injection therapy.
Not sure if your diagnosis qualifies? Our specialists offer complimentary MRI reviews for PPO-insured patients. Upload your imaging and a board-certified physician will review it and recommend the right next step.
Get a Free MRI ReviewYour specialist reviews your imaging (X-ray, MRI) and medical history to confirm the injection is the right treatment and identify the precise injection site.
You'll be positioned comfortably. The injection site is cleaned and a local anesthetic is applied so you feel minimal discomfort.
Using real-time fluoroscopy (X-ray) or ultrasound guidance, your doctor precisely places the needle and delivers the medication directly to the source of your pain. Guidance ensures accuracy and safety.
You rest briefly in the office. Most patients go home the same day. You may experience mild soreness at the injection site for 24–48 hours.
Relief typically begins within 2–7 days as inflammation subsides. Effects last from several weeks to several months depending on the injection type and your condition.
Yes — PPO and major insurance plans cover orthopedic injections when ordered by a physician for a documented diagnosis. Here is what to expect.
With PPO insurance: Most patients pay their standard specialist copay plus any remaining deductible. The injection itself is billed separately and is usually covered in full after your copay.
Without insurance: Self-pay options are available and vary by injection type and location. Call our office to discuss pricing.

Injections are not the right choice for every patient or every condition. Our specialists evaluate each patient individually to match the treatment to the diagnosis. Here is a general guide to help you understand whether injection therapy may apply to your situation.
Clinical evidence: Corticosteroid injections are supported by strong clinical evidence for short-to-medium-term pain relief in knee osteoarthritis (Cochrane Review, 2015), lumbar radiculopathy (AAOS guidelines), and shoulder bursitis. Hyaluronic acid injections show significant benefit in moderate knee osteoarthritis, particularly for patients not yet ready for joint replacement (OARSI guidelines). Our specialists discuss evidence-based expectations with every patient before proceeding.
Mountain Spine & Orthopedics operates 23 clinic locations across Florida, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania — making board-certified injection therapy accessible no matter where you live or work. Same-week appointments are available at all locations. No referral required.
For most patients, orthopedic injections are an effective non-surgical treatment that provides meaningful pain relief for months. Beyond relief, injections serve a critical diagnostic role — pinpointing the exact nerve, joint, or spinal structure responsible for your pain with a precision that imaging alone cannot always confirm.
When injections alone cannot provide lasting relief, that diagnostic information guides our surgeons toward the right surgical solution. Many of our injection patients go on to explore minimally invasive options such as microdiscectomy, lumbar laminectomy, cervical disc replacement, or joint replacement when conservative treatment has been exhausted. Each procedure directly addresses the root cause that injections were managing.
Most patients are bounced between a pain management clinic, a spine specialist, and a surgeon — three separate practices, three separate intake processes, no shared history. At Mountain Spine & Orthopedics, all three are available under one roof. Your care — from your first injection to any surgical consultation — stays with the same board-certified team, with no referrals and no starting over.
