At Baxter Medical we always aim to avoid steroid injections because of the risk of adverse effects. The side-effect profile for steroidal injections consists of: immunosuppression, increased blood sugar for diabetics, facial swelling, weight gain, severe depression, mania, psychosis or other psychiatric symptoms, cataracts or glaucoma, steroid-induced osteoporosis, avascular necrosis, and hepatic steatosis.

Non-Steroidal Injections
Support Your Physical Therapy With NSAID Injections
The pain associated with physical therapy makes many people hesitant to undergo it.
Typically used in conjunction with physical therapy, non-steroidal NSAID injections allow patients to perform their physical therapy exercises with minimal pain. At Baxter Medical Center, we offer non-steroidal injections near Brainerd after thorough consultations.
What It Treats
Non-steroidal injections provide fast, effective relief from a variety of orthopedic pain. Hyaluronic-based non-steroid injections add lubrication to joints that lack fluid due to conditions like osteoarthritis.

What To Expect
You should seek care for chronic and severe pain that impacts your quality of life. We offer same-day and walk-in appointments if your pain requires immediate attention.
During your initial consultation, your provider performs a thorough physical exam, reviews your medical history, and asks about the specific pain you experience. Non-steroidal injections are administered the same as steroidal injections, given either through a vein, into a muscle, into joints, or into bursae sacs and other soft tissues.
After your treatment with non-steroidal injections near Brainerd, your next steps depend on the care you required. If follow-up visits are needed, your provider will help you schedule those and explain what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions About Non-Steroidal Injections
Yes, cortisone shots are steroids. Cortisone is a man-made steroid that mimics cortisol, a naturally occurring hormone. Cortisol decreases your body’s defense response, reducing swelling and allergic reactions.
We cannot determine whether non-steroidal NSAID injections are better than steroid shots in every situation, but studies have shown NSAIDs to provide equivalent, if not improved, pain relief from musculoskeletal ailments.
