Ultrasound-Guided Joint Injections

Ultrasound-guided joint injections are a medical procedure where a doctor uses ultrasound imaging to precisely locate a joint, such as the knee or shoulder. This real-time imaging helps the doctor see the joint and surrounding tissues clearly, allowing them to accurately inject medication, like corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid, directly into the area. This treatment aims to reduce pain and inflammation or improve joint function. The use of ultrasound enhances safety and effectiveness by ensuring proper placement of the injection, minimizing discomfort and potential complications.
