Ultrasound-guided injection is a precise medical technique that helps deliver medication directly to a targeted area in the body—usually joints, muscles, or around nerves—using real-time imaging to guide the needle placement.
Key Functions of Ultrasound-Guided Injection
- - Targeted Delivery: Ultrasound imaging shows internal structures like bones, ligaments, and soft tissues, allowing clinicians to place the injection with pinpoint accuracy.
- - Pain Management: It’s often used to relieve pain from conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, or nerve compression by injecting anti-inflammatory drugs or anesthetics.
- - Joint Lubrication: Injections like hyaluronic acid help lubricate joints, especially for people with osteoarthritis, improving movement and reducing discomfort.
- - Reduced Risk & Improved Comfort: Since the needle placement is guided by live imaging, the procedure minimizes damage to surrounding tissue and is usually more comfortable than blind injections.
- - Diagnostic Support: It can also be used in diagnostic procedures to confirm the source of pain or dysfunction by tracking where the medication has the most effect.
