Ultra Sound Guided Injectable Therapy

Ultra sound guided injections can be beneficial for the therapeutic treatment of a variety of podiatric problems

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to provide a dynamic “real-time” 4D image of body tissues. This is the same technology used for foetal scanning in pregnancy. Ultrasound allows diagnostic assessment of the status of the tissue as well as therapeutic treatment including directed injection therapy.

Injection therapy can be used for a great range of pathologies, including soft tissue injuries like tendinitis or joint dysfunctions like arthritis or mechanical overuse resulting in inflammation.

Guided injection therapy most commonly consists of cortisone/corticosteroid/steroid as an anti-inflammatory agent, into joints or around selected soft tissues.

Other agents such as PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) and SVF (Stromal Vascular Fraction) have been used for many years but are gaining greater popularity with time. These agents have been shown to have great regenerative properties for any tissue through the release of growth factors.

Benefits

Real-time imaging of the injection itself allows for greater accuracy of needle placement, and confirmation that the target tissue has been reached. In addition to this re-scanning the treated area can show an improvement in the tissue in response to the injection.

Treatment guide

Ultrasound-guided injection therapy can be done in the clinic in conjunction with a usual injectable agent. It allows greater accuracy and you can also record the image to confirm the diagnosis and needle placement.

Pricing guide

Injection therapy starts from $150.00 depending on the procedure involved and the solution injected

Considerations

Are ultrasound-guided injections painful?

Ultrasound-guided injections are no more painful than a non-guided injections. A small amount of local anaesthetic can be placed on the skin to improve comfort and often can be added with the injectable solution to provide pain relief and aid diagnosis.
