Ultrasound-Guided Injection

Ultrasound-guided injection is a medical procedure where a doctor uses ultrasound imaging to locate precise points in the body before administering an injection, such as medication or a steroid. This technique allows for better accuracy, ensuring the substance is delivered directly to the affected area, which can enhance effectiveness and reduce side effects. It's commonly used for treating joint pain, tendon injuries, or other musculoskeletal issues. The ultrasound provides real-time pictures, helping the doctor navigate and minimize discomfort while maximizing the benefits of the injection.
