Joint Injections

Target the Source of Discomfort

Help Painful Joints Move More Comfortably

A painful joint can change more than how you exercise. Everyday movements such as walking, climbing stairs, reaching, or simply getting through your usual routine may become increasingly uncomfortable.

Joint injections at Concierge Wellness Center provide a targeted treatment option for certain joint-related concerns. Before recommending an injection, your physician evaluates the affected area and considers your symptoms, medical history, and possible cause of discomfort to determine whether this approach makes sense for you.

Focused Care Where You Need It

Address Joint Symptoms More Directly

Why We Offer It

Joint pain can have different causes, and the right treatment depends on understanding what may be contributing to the problem. For some patients, an injection can deliver medication directly to the affected joint rather than relying solely on oral medications or waiting for discomfort to resolve on its own.

The goal is not simply to cover up pain. Joint injections may be incorporated into a broader medical plan designed to reduce inflammation or discomfort and help make movement easier when clinically appropriate.

Who Is It For

Joint injections may be considered for patients experiencing persistent pain, inflammation, stiffness, or reduced comfort with movement in a specific joint.

Whether an injection is appropriate depends on the underlying concern and your overall health. Your physician may also need to consider previous injuries, existing joint conditions, medications, prior treatments, and how long your symptoms have been present before making a recommendation.

How Does It Work

Treatment begins by identifying the joint causing concern and evaluating your symptoms. If an injection is appropriate, medication is carefully administered into or around the targeted joint.

The specific medication and treatment approach can vary depending on the condition being addressed. Your physician will explain why an injection is being recommended, what is being administered, and how it fits into the larger plan for managing your joint symptoms.

What to Expect from Your Care

The appointment includes preparation of the treatment area followed by the injection itself. You may notice brief pressure, pinching, or temporary discomfort as the medication is administered.

Instructions afterward depend on the joint treated and the type of injection performed. Your physician may recommend temporarily modifying certain activities and will explain what symptoms are expected following treatment, as well as when you should contact the office.

A Targeted Treatment Option

Support Comfort Without Overlooking the Cause

Joint injections can be useful in the right circumstances, but they are most valuable when treatment is based on an appropriate medical evaluation.

Localized Treatment

Medication is delivered directly to the area being treated, allowing care to focus on the symptomatic joint.

Inflammation Support

Certain joint injections may help reduce inflammation that is contributing to pain, stiffness, or difficulty moving comfortably.

Easier Everyday Movement

Reducing joint discomfort may make routine movement and daily activities feel more manageable.

Physician-Guided Care

Your symptoms, medical history, and response to treatment can be considered before deciding whether an injection or another approach is appropriate.

Dr Choi is one of the best doctors we have seen in my life. Dr. Choi hasn't just been just our doctor; they've become a trusted advisor and advocate for our family's health journey.

Always a great experience! My wife and I have been thrilled with the entire team at Concierge Wellness. Dr Choi's support team is super efficient, friendly and responsive. They have even called our pharmacy to speed things up. Great service! And Dr Choi has been amazing. As I've started exploring longevity, Dr Choi has gone way beyond offering the basics of medical care -- he discusses issues in depth and has really helped learn about the details.

I followed Dr. Catherine Nguyen-Ward to her concierge practice without hesitation, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Not only is she exceptionally well-versed and competent across many areas of medicine, but, most importantly, she listens. I mean, she really listens. She understands what’s wrong almost immediately and takes decisive action to get you well, fast. No guesswork. No unnecessary, endless visits or lab work that lead nowhere. She is incredibly smart and truly a rare kind of physician in this day and age. In a healthcare landscape that often lacks compassion and is filled with rushed, impersonal, and ineffective care, she stands out as exceptional. In this town, she is simply unmatched. Finding her a few years ago, was a game-changer.

Both experiences (last Wednesday,11/19/2025’s being my initial meeting) with Dr Ward could not have been more satisfactory. The circumstance was an emergency situation that could have gone quite differently. Dr Ward and all the office crew came through swiftly, professionally, and skillfully-everything I’ve come to expect from Dr Choi and his team. I cannot speak more highly of the care they afforded me. I think they earned TEN stars out of five!

I have lived in Las Vegas since 1980. I was lucky enough to find a good doctor early on, and stayed with him for about 5 years, until he retired. After that, it was hit and miss for a number of years. Luckily, I was young and healthy, so an annual visit to a doctor was all I needed. As Vegas grew, finding a good doctor became more difficult. Too many people, not enough doctors to go around. I remember sitting in one doctor's crowded waiting room for more than an hour past my appointment time. And when I asked for the flu shot, the main reason I was there, she said she did not have any. A member of her staff had forgotten to put them in the fridge, and all had to be tossed out. Luckily a few years ago, my neighbors told me about Dr. Choi. I was unfamiliar with the concept of concierge medicine, but it makes so much sense. There is no crowded waiting room full of sick people, and my time with the doctor is not rushed. He sees me on a regular basis throughout the year. Two years ago, I developed a serious condition related to long term use of Fosomax. Although it was a dental issue, Dr. Choi is the one I immediately turned to for help. He prescribed a treatment that has stabilized my condition to this day. We are so lucky to have Dr. Choi in Las Vegas.

Any Questions?

Are joint injections appropriate if I take other medications?

Your current medications and medical history should be reviewed before treatment. Be sure to tell your physician about prescription medications, over-the-counter products, supplements, allergies, and any relevant health conditions before receiving a joint injection.

How long can the effects of joint injections last?

There is no single duration that applies to every joint injection. The underlying condition, type of medication, joint being treated, and individual response can all influence how long improvement lasts.

How long does it take for joint injections to provide relief?

The timing of relief varies according to the medication used, the condition being treated, and the individual patient. Some people may notice changes relatively soon, while other injections can take longer to have an effect. Your physician can explain what is reasonable to expect from the injection recommended for you.

How often can I receive joint injections?

How frequently an injection can be repeated depends on the type of medication used, your diagnosis, your response to previous treatment, and other health considerations. Your physician will determine whether and when another injection may be medically appropriate.

What conditions can joint injections be used to address?

Joint injections may be considered for certain conditions associated with joint pain or inflammation. Because similar symptoms can have different causes, your physician will first evaluate the joint and determine whether an injection is appropriate for your particular concern.

What if joint injections do not improve my symptoms?

Persistent joint pain may require additional evaluation or a different treatment approach. If your symptoms do not improve as expected, your CWC physician can reassess the concern and determine whether further testing, another form of treatment, or referral to a specialist may be appropriate.
