Ultrasound-guided joint injections are one of the most effective ways to treat severe pain and other conditions affecting the joints. Cortisone has been used to successfully treat arthritis in various joints with minimal side effects. The purpose of using an ultrasound machine in these treatments is to maintain accuracy and ensure quality results. The safety of the ultrasound and its lack of radiation emission makes it a good choice for both testing and injection guidance.

What Are Ultrasound-Guided Injections?

The purpose of ultrasound-guided joint injections is to accurately pinpoint trouble areas, reducing pain and inflammation in the process. These injections come in many varieties, with corticosteroids typically used for the treatment of osteoarthritis. Other injections include hyaluronic acid, which is typically only injected into the knee, and thrombocytes that function as a means of improving joint mobility while facilitating long-term regeneration.

When are Ultrasound-Guided Injections Needed?

Ultrasound-guided joint injections are needed in cases of whether specific targeting of joint tissue is required to provide the best patient outcomes. In some cases, injections into tissue or muscle can suffice in the treatment of some rheumatic disease. In other instances, a more direct and accurate approach must be utilized to assure patient safety and maximize treatment outcomes.
