What Conditions Can Be Treated?

Ultrasound-guided injections are used to treat many common causes of pain, such as:

Osteoarthritis

Helps ease joint pain and swelling, especially in knees, hips, and shoulders.

Tendinitis and Bursitis

Reduces inflammation from injuries or overuse.

Nerve Pain

Used for nerve blocks to relieve pain from sciatica or nerve damage.

Back and Neck Pain

Targets painful areas in the spine to provide lasting relief.

How the Procedure Works

During the procedure, the patient is positioned so the doctor can easily reach the painful area. A small amount of gel is placed on the skin, and an ultrasound probe is used to find the exact spot for the injection. Using the live images, the doctor gently guides the needle into place and injects the medication. The entire process takes just a few minutes, and most patients can return to normal activities soon afterward.
