Why Are Ultrasound Guided Injections Better? Many experienced physicians feel that they are “excellent” at injections and never miss their target. However, studies show that as much as 30% of injections by even accomplished clinicians can actually miss the structure that they are aiming for. “Realtime High-Resolution Ultrasound” is the latest advancement for in- office treatment since it can often visualize smaller anatomy better than an MRI, and in real-time. The first result is that patients are able to obtain an immediate diagnosis rather than having towait days for outside results. The second breakthrough is that doctors can actually guide needle treatments more precisely and clearly at the time of care, assuring pinpoint accuracy for injections. Thismeans patients experience less pain (since it ismore efficient for the doctor) and better outcomes. Simply put, ultrasound guidance is safer than blindly injecting, requires no X-ray or harm to the patient, and improves results. (Naredo et al. 2004) The Advantage of Ultrasound Guided Treatments
