Injections for back pain-side effects

Corticosteroid injections are often used to reduce inflammation and pain, but they can come with side effects.

At Hopkins Health in Fernandina Beach, we’ve seen patients experience temporary relief, only to face issues like joint damage, weakened tendons, or increased pain over time.

Repeated injections may also raise blood sugar levels or suppress your immune system.

That’s why we offer non-surgical, drug-free solutions like spinal decompression to target the root cause of your pain.
