Understanding Zilretta Injections
Zilretta is a revolutionary injectable treatment explicitly designed to manage osteoarthritis pain in the knee. Unlike traditional corticosteroid injections that provide temporary relief, Zilretta offers a unique extended-release formulation that can alleviate pain and inflammation for up to three months with a single injection.
This innovative treatment harnesses the power of triamcinolone acetonide’s potent corticosteroid medication known for its anti-inflammatory properties. By delivering a concentrated dose of this medication directly into the knee joint, Zilretta can target the source of pain and discomfort, providing the most needed relief.
When Do You Need Zilretta Injections?
Zilretta injections offer considerable benefits for adults grappling with the distressing effects of knee osteoarthritis, a condition characterized by the gradual breakdown of protective cartilage in the knee joint, leading to joint degeneration. As the cartilage wears away, bones begin to rub against each other, resulting in pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
If you’re experiencing persistent knee pain exacerbated by activity, stiffness after periods of inactivity, swelling or tenderness in the knee joint, diminished range of motion, or difficulty bending the knee, Zilretta injections may represent a suitable treatment option for you.
It’s essential to understand that while Zilretta injections can offer significant relief from osteoarthritis symptoms, they don’t cure the condition itself. Your doctor may recommend combining these injections with other treatments like physical therapy, weight management, or lifestyle adjustments to effectively manage your osteoarthritis symptoms and improve your overall quality of life.
