The phrase โjoint injectionโ can have various interpretations depending on who you ask.
There are three types of routine joint therapies available for horses. Joint injections are a veterinary procedure used to deliver medication directly to a horse's joint. This targeted approach helps address inflammation, pain, and other issues within the joint itself. There are several types of joint injections that your veterinarian might consider, depending on your horseโs specific needs.

These injections are administered directly into the joint space. They are highly effective for delivering medications like corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid, which can reduce inflammation and improve joint lubrication.

Although not directly injected into the joint, IV injections can improve overall joint health. For example, systemic administration of certain medications can help reduce joint inflammation and promote healing.

These injections involve administering medication into the muscle, from where it is absorbed into the bloodstream. They are typically used for long-acting medications that help in managing joint health over time.
