Ultrasound Guided Injections

An ultrasound-guided injection can be Traumeel, Wala, Zeel, Corticosteroid, Hyaluronic acid or others. It allows a faster pain relief when appropriate. Ultrasound guidance also allows other procedures such as joint aspiration (draining swelling from a joint), barbotage (aspirating calcium deposits from within a tendon), and hydrodistension (stretching ligaments and joint capsule to improve movement in conditions of frozen shoulder).

Are injections bad for me?

No. Injections is just another option to manage musculoskeletal pain or conditions. We tend to use homeopathy injections which have bio substances and minerals to lubricate the joint, as well as other options such as corticosteroids are available.

What are the benefits of ultrasound-guided injection?

There is a significant amount of research which shows that ultrasound-guided injections provide better pain relief, longer lasting effects and improve mobility.

Injections performed without ultrasound guidance such as blind or surface marked injections may not be the safest method.

This method allows the practitioner to see exactly where to inject medicine to reduce pain, swelling, or inflammation. It’s a safe and precise way to deliver treatment, and it can help with conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, or muscle injuries.

The procedure is quick, relatively comfortable, and helps make sure the medicine is delivered exactly where it’s needed for the best results.
