A cortisone shot contains a steroid medication, which has anti-inflammatory properties. The interaction between the steroid and the cells in the joint lining suppresses the immune system’s response to inflammation, reducing joint inflammation, swelling, and pain.

Before administering a cortisone injection, the doctor uses an anesthetic to numb the area and provide immediate pain relief. The cortisone itself typically takes several days to begin working.
