Ultrasound has become an indispensable modality to guide many injections for musculoskeletal disorders. Ultrasound offers many benefits over other forms of image guidance including its lack of ionizing radiation and its ability to identify soft tissue and vascular structures. With this modality, a needle is guided under constant visualization towards the targeted tissue so that therapeutic medication can be placed precisely at the area of injury. The end result is improved pain and function.
Examples of ultrasound-guided injections include:
In addition we perform trigger point injections.
