Musculoskeletal injections
A focused, safe procedure with no radiation exposure.
This procedure involves injecting a medication (often a corticosteroid) directly into a joint, tendon, bursa, or near a nerve, using real-time ultrasound guidance. This technology allows for high precision without any radiation exposure.
Typical Cases
- Carpal tunnel or trigger finger
- Shoulder (subacromial bursa)
- Hip (trochanteric bursa)
- Knee, ankle, or other joints
Preparation
- No special preparation is needed.
- We recommend eating a light snack or meal beforehand to help you feel comfortable during the procedure.
Risks
- Complications are rare and well-controlled, including infection, minor bleeding, or temporary discomfort.
- Strict aseptic techniques are always followed.
- All necessary precautions are in place to minimize any potential risks. Complications are uncommon and usually related to bleeding or infection, and are generally easily managed if they occur.
What to Expect During the Exam
- This procedure is performed by an experienced radiologist.
- The needle is carefully guided using real-time ultrasound.
- The entire procedure typically takes under 15 minutes..
