Some issues Dr. Dennis W. Ozment, MD can help you with:

Joint Injections

A joint is any area of the body where two bones connect. Due to injury or disease, the space between the two bones can sometimes become swollen and inflamed, which leads to pain and a loss of mobility. Injection and aspiration are two tools that physicians use to treat joint pain locally without needing to perform surgery.

Both injection and aspiration are techniques that involve inserting a needle connected to a syringe directly into the joint. Aspiration involves the removal of excess fluid, and injection is the placement of medication directly into the joint space via the needle. Both procedures may be performed at the same time. In both cases a local anesthetic may be used, the skin will be cleaned and disinfected, and then the needle will be inserted. In some cases, especially if the injection or aspiration is in a large and deep joint such as the hip or spine, ultrasound may be used to guide the needle to the exact location desired.

In some cases, irritation to the joint can cause fluid to build up so significantly that the joint hurts and can no longer move well. Aspiration removes some of the excess fluid and relieves the pressure. In addition, aspiration can be used to provide a sample of joint fluid if it needs to be examined microscopically for the presence of white blood cells, bacteria, or crystal formations.

Certain injuries and diseases that affect joints are inflammatory in nature, such as rheumatoid arthritis, tendonitis or gout. These diseases may be helped by the local injection of anti-inflammatory medications directly into the affected joint. In this case, corticosteroids such as methylprednisone are usually used. Relief from the pain may be felt right away and may last for weeks or even months.

In some cases, such as with osteoarthritis, the cartilage buffer between the two bones wears down and pain comes from bones rubbing against each other. In this case, injection of a lubricating agent such as hyaluronic acid may be beneficial. It provides a slippery cushion between the bones to relieve pain that can last for months.

Patient verified via Press Ganey
I have been seeing Dr. Ozment for nearly 13 years. He has always impressed me with his ability to explain things to me until I understand them. But what I really appreciate more than anything else is his willingness to listen. He really listens to me about the problems I am facing. I am facing shoulder replacement surgery in March and have had other joints as well, causing me a lot of pain and discomfort. He listened, asked questions and talked to me about why things are happening and what he recommends I try. It means the world to me to have that type of experience with a doctor. So often, with some doctors, I feel rushed and unheard. I feel they are treating me like every other patient. They assume instead of ask. I never feel like that with Dr. Ozment. QMG, you have many good doctors, but Dr. Ozment exhibits qualities that go above and beyond most of them.

Dr. Ozment is a great asset to this facility. His kindness and common sense approach have been appreciated by me since my initial diagnosis through what is now maintenance care. Rheumatologists are certainly not plentiful in this area and he's definitely a 'keeper'.
