What Is an Ultrasound Guided Injection?

An Ultrasound Guided Injection is a medical procedure wherein ultrasound imaging is employed to guide the precise placement of an injection. Whether it’s therapeutic medication, corticosteroids, or local anaesthetics, this technique ensures the substance is accurately administered to the intended region, enhancing the effectiveness and reducing potential complications.

Why Would I Need an Ultrasound Guided Injection?

Patients might require an Ultrasound Guided Injection for various reasons. These injections are particularly beneficial when treating inflamed tendons, joints, or cysts. By employing real-time imaging, the clinician can ensure that the injection reaches its optimal location, maximizing therapeutic benefits, especially when traditional methods might be less accurate or potentially harmful.

How Should I Prepare For an Ultrasound Guided Injection?

Always discuss with your doctor any medications you're currently taking. Depending on the area being treated, you may also be advised to wear comfortable clothing that provides easy access.
