How We Use Injection Treatments
At Sievers Sports Medicine, we use our ultrasound-guided injection treatments as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. During your first appointment, we’ll thoroughly evaluate your symptoms, health history, and overall health goals to find the right blend of treatment options to suit your needs. While everyone’s plan is a little different, here are a few examples of approaches we might include alongside your injection treatments: • Additional pain relief methods, such as hot or cold therapy or electrostimulation • Mobility work • Targeted strengthening exercises • Information about safely returning to sports or other activities Often, we use injection treatments to help you manage acute pain so you can exercise more comfortably, allowing you to resolve the underlying muscular weaknesses that might have contributed to your injury. PRP injections can also help speed up your recovery process, helping to maximize your rehabilitation. Our specialists will give you more personalized guidance and information when they provide your treatment plan. What to Expect: Your Injection Treatment Appointment Receiving your injection is a straightforward process. Our injections don’t require any anesthesia and can be performed in our office, usually in under an hour. We’ll start by numbing the injection site to ensure you have the most comfortable experience possible. Next, we’ll set up the ultrasound equipment to guide the needle to its target location more accurately.
After we’ve completed the process, we’ll let you know exactly what you can expect, how you can manage any pain or discomfort at the injection site (over-the-counter medication will usually do the trick), and any instructions specific to your needs.
