Beyond the Band-Aid: Why Steroid Injections Are Not the Answer
Steroid injections, also known as corticosteroids, tout reduction of inflammation and pain. However, they address only the symptoms, not the underlying cause. This can be problematic:
- Masking the Problem: Like hitting the snooze button on an alarm, steroid injections silence the pain signal but don’t fix the issue. The underlying problem can worsen undetected.
- Potential for Weakened Tendons: Studies suggest a link between steroid injections and weakened tendons, increasing the risk of rupture, especially for conditions like tennis elbow.
- Bone Loss Concerns: Research indicates a correlation between repeated steroid injections and decreased bone density, raising the risk of fractures.
- Accelerated Joint Deterioration: In osteoarthritis, frequent steroid injections may be linked to faster cartilage loss and worsening of the condition.
