Steroid Injections May Increase Cartilage Breakdown
"Steroid (cortisone) injections for osteoarthritis is like Snapchat. Everyone seems to be doing it, and no one is quite sure why."
Most previous studies have not been of high quality and have not shown much benefit.
The Journal of the American Medical Association recently published probably the best study on this topic. It found no benefit of steriod injections over placebo of saline solution over two years. We have known that steroids are harmful to the joint cartilage and this study showed a significant loss of cartilage thickness in the steroid group.
Has anyone had benefit of a knee disorder with chiropractic or other manual treatments?
