How Does It Work?
Ultrasound-guided injections have revolutionized pain management, offering targeted relief for inflammation, swelling, and musculoskeletal conditions affecting joints, tendons, tendon sheaths, or bursae. By utilizing high-frequency sound waves, real-time and dynamic images of the affected area are produced, allowing for precise and accurate pain relief injections, minimizing discomfort during the procedure.
This innovative musculoskeletal injection method enables our clinician to visualize surrounding structures before, during, and after the treatment, providing immediate feedback to both the patient and the clinician.
Our Altrincham based joint Injection clinic offers; anti-inflammatory steroid injections, joint lubrication Ostenil Plus injections, and hydrodistension injections to alleviate frozen shoulder pain.
Advantages Of Ultrasound-Guided Assessment
An advanced MSK clinician will perform an in-depth case history, a thorough physical assessment, and a dynamic ultrasound scan. This comprehensive assessment enables your clinician to provide an accurate diagnosis related to your specific issue more accurately than ultrasound assessment alone.
