Joint Injections/Ultrasound

Ultrasound-guided joint injections are a medical procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the joints, such as arthritis, tendinitis, and bursitis. During the procedure, a small amount of medication, such as a steroid or anesthetic, is injected into the affected joint using guidance from ultrasound imaging. This allows the physician to accurately locate the joint and ensure that the medication is delivered to the correct location.

The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis and may be used in conjunction with other treatments, such as physical therapy or medication. Some benefits of ultrasound-guided joint injection include increased accuracy, reduced pain, and improved outcomes.
