With our unique, one-stop service, you can book a single appointment for a physical assessment, diagnostic ultrasound, and the injection, all in one visit. This innovative service ensures that you get the right treatment, right away, in a convenient and efficient manner.
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of your tissues, guiding the needle directly to the target area for accurate injection placement. This method allows for highly specialized treatments, such as joint aspiration, barbotage, and hydrodistension, for conditions like frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, osteoarthritis, and more.
Our ultrasound-guided injections offer improved pain relief, longer-lasting effects, and enhanced functionality compared to traditional methods.
Ultrasound-guided injections offer a range of significant advantages over traditional (blind or surface-marked) injections. Research consistently shows that using ultrasound guidance leads to:
Ultrasound-guided injections tend to provide more effective and longer-lasting pain relief.
Patients often experience better functional outcomes following ultrasound-guided injections compared to those performed without guidance.
The use of ultrasound allows for accurate needle placement, ensuring the injection is delivered directly to the target area, maximizing effectiveness.
Ultrasound guidance significantly reduces the risk of needle misplacement or trauma to surrounding tissues, improving safety during the procedure and minimizing potential side effects or complications.
By using ultrasound to guide the injection, we can ensure that our patients receive the most precise, effective, and safe treatment possible.
