FAQ About Annual Physical Exam

How long does pain relief from a joint injection last?

Relief typically lasts from a few weeks to several months, depending on the condition and individual response. CoreMed Plus helps create a long-term plan.

Is a joint injection painful?

Most patients feel only brief discomfort during the injection. Local anesthetic is used to minimize pain, and the procedure is quick.

How soon can I return to normal activities after a joint injection?

Many patients resume light activities the same day. We recommend avoiding strenuous use of the joint for 24–48 hours.

Are joint injections safe for diabetics?

Yes, but they may temporarily raise blood sugar levels. CoreMed Plus monitors this closely and provides guidance.

Can I get multiple joint injections?

Injections are usually limited to 3–4 per year per joint to avoid side effects. Your provider at CoreMed Plus will determine the safest frequency.

What is the difference between corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid injections?

Corticosteroid injections reduce inflammation quickly, while hyaluronic acid (viscosupplementation) helps lubricate the joint, often used for knee osteoarthritis.

Dr. Mark Richter Bio

I grew up in Florida as the oldest of five sons. After earning my degree from the University of Florida, I pursued my medical education in the Dominican Republic. In 1988, I began my Family Practice Residency at the “old” Pontiac General Hospital. I have been providing medical care to the same community since 1991, first in Waterford and later at our current location in White Lake, where I continue to practice today. I take pride in being board certified by the American Academy of Family Physicians and remain committed to Primary Care. I am passionate about promoting a healthy lifestyle, including a proper “balanced” diet, exercise, exposure to healthy outdoor activities, and achieving work-life balance. I married my Medical School Sweetheart, Barbara, and we are fortunate to have two adult children and a granddaughter. We have been residents of Oakland County since 1988 and enjoy all that Michigan has to offer.
