What are Ultrasound-Guided Injections?
Ultrasound-guided injections allow for precise delivery of treatments like corticosteroids, PRP, or hyaluronic acid to targeted areas (e.g., joints, tendons). Real-time imaging from an ultrasound machine ensures accurate placement of the injection.
Ultrasound-guided injections are particularly beneficial for treating deep or hard-to-reach areas, ensuring effective and safe treatment.
What are the advantages of Ultrasound Guidance?
- Improved Precision: Directly visualizes the needle’s path to ensure the medication reaches the intended target.
- Reduced Risk: Lowers the chance of complications, such as nerve damage or misplacement.
- Enhanced Comfort: Less painful and more comfortable due to precise targeting.
What conditions can be treated with Ultrasound-Guided Injections?
Used primarily in orthopedic and sports medicine, ultrasound-guided injections effectively treat:
- Bursitis
- Arthritis
- Tendonitis
- Ligament injuries
What is the procedure for Ultrasound-Guided Injections?
- Quick & Minimally Invasive: Typically done in a doctor’s office with minimal anesthesia (local numbing only).
- Real-Time Accuracy: The ultrasound allows for real-time needle visualization, improving efficacy and reducing discomfort.
