A loyalty program is available for surgical interventions in the hospital, which makes treatment even more affordable.

Blockade - is an injection technique that involves the introduction of drugs into the joint cavity or surrounding tissues. It allows you to quickly relieve pain, reduce swelling and inflammation, and restore or improve mobility.

At «Oxford Medical» intra-articular blockades are performed by an orthopedic traumatologist with many years of experience. After examining and studying the medical history, the specialist individually selects drugs for the blockade to ensure maximum effect.

Types of blockades for joint pain

There are several types of blockades that are used depending on the localization of pain and the individual characteristics of the patient:

  1. Intraarticular blockade - injection of the drug directly into the joint cavity. It is prescribed for severe inflammation and pain syndrome in large joints (knee, shoulder, hip).

  2. Periarticular blockade - injection of the drug into the periarticular tissues. This type of blockade is used for inflammation and pain in tendons, ligaments and other soft tissues surrounding the joint.

  3. Paravertebral blockade - the introduction of a drug into the spine to relieve pain originating from the joints of the spine or intervertebral discs.

Depending on the site of drug administration, the following are distinguished:

  • knee joint blockades;

  • shoulder joint blockades;

  • elbow joint blockades, nerve blockades, etc.

What drugs are used to block joints?

The following are most often used to perform blockades:

  • anesthetics – block the transmission of nerve impulses and provide an analgesic effect;

  • corticosteroids – reduce inflammation, reduce swelling and relieve pain, provide long-term results;

  • hyaluronic acid – to fill the volume of joint fluid and reduce pain;

  • anti-inflammatory drugs – reduce inflammation in the joints.

The choice of drugs depends on the individual characteristics of the patient and the type of disease.

When are joint blocks prescribed?

Blockades are performed only as prescribed by a doctor.
They are a symptomatic treatment method, so they are often used in complex therapy.

Joint blockades are prescribed for:

acute or chronic pain that cannot be eliminated by other methods (medication or physiotherapy)

inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis and others, when inflammation causes significant pain and limited mobility

traumatic joint damage (sprains, dislocations, ligament ruptures), when rapid pain relief is needed to restore joint function

Postoperative pain, particularly after joint surgery such as arthroscopy or joint replacement

List of diseases

How intra-articular blockades are performed

Joint blocks are performed on an outpatient basis and take about 10 minutes.

First, the doctor examines and palpates the area to determine the injection sites. Then, the area is treated with an antiseptic. Next, he performs a series of injections, injecting small doses of drugs into different places to ensure the optimal therapeutic effect.

After performing the blockade, the patient is recommended to sit for at least 20-30 minutes.

 

Blockades for joint pain have a number of significant advantages:

  • patients experience a noticeable reduction in pain within the first hours after the procedure;

  • relief of inflammation and pain helps restore normal joint mobility;

  • drugs are injected directly into the focus of pain, which reduces their systemic effect on the body;

  • correct performance of the procedure and the use of modern drugs minimize the risk of side effects;

  • If necessary, the blockade can be repeated without significant risks to the patient. In «Oxford Medical» Kyiv, joint blockades are performed by experienced orthopedists-traumatologists.

Щиро дякую хірургу Фроловій Єлені Юріївні за суперово виконану операцію. Втручання було невелике, але для мене дуже важливе — і все пройшло швидко, акуратно та без ускладнень. Лікар уважна, спокіна, усе пояснив перед процедурою, так як я боялась- вона мене підтримувала та відволікала)) Загоєння проходило добре, шви зняла безболісно, результатом повністю задоволена. Дуже приємно мати справу з таким відповідальним і людяним спеціалістом. Рекомендую від щирого серця.

Хочу висловити подяку Мудрієвському Богдану Любомировичу. Моєму батьку було зроблено ургентно (15.12.2025) операцію по видаленню жовчного міхура. Поки я їхала в лікарню лікар і медперсонал підготували тата до операції. Велика подяка Богдану Любомировичу за Професіоналізм, за чітке пояснення і відповіді на всі питання. Цей лікар не тільки Професіонал своєї справи з великої літери, це ще і чудова людина!!! Бажаємо Богдану Любомировичу міцного здоров'я і завжди залишатися такою ж чудовою та розуміючою людиною
