A periarticular injection is an effective method for treating pain, inflammation, and muscle tension by administering medication into the tissues surrounding a joint, such as ligaments, tendons, fascia, or synovial bursae.

This procedure does not enter the joint cavity, but it allows for precise targeting of the source of pain, which is often located in the surrounding structures.
