Ultrasound-Guided Injections: Small Needle, Big Benefits
What Do We Use Them For? Tendon and other soft tissue injuries, osteoarthritis Corticosteroid Injections: Corticosteroids are an anti-inflammatory medication that can help reduce pain and swelling at an injury site. They offer acute pain relief so you can focus on mobility stretches or other exercises. What Do We Use Them For? Joint pain, injury rehabilitation Hyaluronic Acid Injections : Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in your body; it helps lubricate your joints so they can work properly. People with osteoarthritis have less hyaluronic acid, which contributes to their symptoms. Hyaluronic acid injections (also known as viscosupplementation) increase this fluid, helping to reduce pain. What Do We Use Them For? Knee osteoarthritis Percutaneous Needle Tenotomy (PNT): This technique isn’t actually an injection–but it does utilize an ultrasound-guided needle. The process involves piercing a damaged tendon (the flexible tissue that connects muscle to bone) with a needle, helping to reduce scar tissue and promote blood flow to the injury site. The overall goal is to facilitate your body’s natural healing processes What Do We Use It For? Tendon injuries, such as tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis, or rotator cuff injuries
