Joint puncture, or the removal of excess fluid from a joint, is necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of joint disease. If necessary, we send the removed fluid to the laboratory for diagnostics and inject preparations into the joint that relieve or treat the symptoms.

When excess fluids are removed from the joint, the pressure within the joint is lowered, alleviating pain and swelling. If medication is entered into the joint, it can alleviate the joint inflammation for some time and the person can move better.

The cost of reception by an on-call doctor is added to the cost of the procedure. If possible, please book an appointment on our website or call +372 5911 0909.
