Ultrasound Guided Joint Injections

What Are the Types of Medications Used?

  • Anti-inflammatory Medication: These have enough anti-inflammatory agents to reduce the joint's inflammation and swelling. These medications are effective for rheumatoid, arthritis and gout. When you decrease the inflammation, it helps to eliminate the pain and improve joint mobility, giving you much-needed relief.
  • Stimulant Injections: Stimulant injections, such as 25% dextrose or platelet-rich plasma, stimulate the body’s natural healing process. Dextrose injections work by venturing the joint tissues in a controlled manner, triggering a healing response and promoting tissue repair. PRP uses a concentrated amount of the patient’s platelets, which can accelerate healing and regenerate damaged tissues
Joint injections are one of the most common treatment methods that can provide notable relief from pain and inflammation in different body joints. This procedure is usually suggested for arthritis and other inflammatory joint disorders. Joint injections usually involve directly infusing medicines into the affected joint spot to reduce the pain and inflammation, setting the path for healing.

Steps for This Procedure:

Our doctors perform joint injections with compassion and confidence, ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients. Their deep knowledge and years of experience in this field enable them to identify the affected joint.
  • Preparation Stage
    Before the injection, the doctor reviews your medical history and conducts a physical examination to determine the exact cause of your pain. Then, the joint spot is cleaned and sterilised to reduce the risk of infection.
  • Real-time Ultrasound Guidance
    Ultrasound guidance usually ensures the needle is accurately pierced within the joint space. This technique provides a clear image of joint structures, improving the injection accuracy.
  • Injection
    Our doctor inserts a quality needle into your joint and injects the right medicine. This quick procedure may make you uncomfortable for a short period, like a pinch or pressure.
  • Post-injection Care
    After the injection step, our doctors advise you to rest briefly. Some patients may experience slight swelling, which subsides in a few days. It is essential to follow any post-injection care given by our doctor so you can recover and heal quickly.
