OBJECTIVE: To describe the use of filtration into the joints and soft tissue in the daily work of a Primary Care clinic. DESIGN: Observational and descriptive study. SETTING: Primary Care. PARTICIPANTS: Patients between 18 and 75, with pathologies that can be filtrated and who had not previously received treatment. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: 148 filtrations were analysed, with pain and mobility before and after filtration being evaluated. 85.1% of the patients had intense or moderate pain before filtration, dropping to 5.4% a month afterwards (p < 0.05). 55.4% had limited mobility before filtration and 6.1% a month afterwards (p < 0.05). Complications from the technique were observed in 4 cases, but all were of a light character. CONCLUSIONS: The technique is effective and easy to apply in Primary Care, with scarce and light side-effects.
