Cortisone Injections: What You Need to Know – And Why Chiropractic May Be the Long-Term Solution

Many people try cortisone injections for fast pain relief, only to find the results are temporary or come with side effects. At Active Life Wellness, we focus on long-term solutions that promote healing, not just quick fixes.

What Are Cortisone Injections?

Cortisone is a steroid used to reduce inflammation. It’s often injected into joints or around nerves to ease pain from conditions like osteoarthritis, tendonitis, herniated discs, bursitis, or plantar fasciitis. Relief may last a few weeks to a few months.

The Problem with Cortisone

While cortisone may provide temporary comfort, it does not correct the underlying problem. Over time, repeated use may:

• Weaken ligaments and tendons
• Damage cartilage
• Delay natural healing
• Increase risk of joint degeneration

This is why many patients seek us out after injections wear off—still looking for lasting relief.
