Ultrasound Guided Injection

Fusion Healthcare provides various types of ultrasound guided injection. All of our expert clinicians are highly experienced musculoskeletal sonographers as well as experts in advanced practice physiotherapy having worked as clinical leads in a range of NHS and private settings. They are able to uniquely combine expert musculoskeletal assessment skills along with diagnostic ultrasound assessment to confirm the diagnosis of your condition and perform ultrasound guided injections where appropriate.

What is an Ultrasound guided injection ?

Your clinician has recommended that you have an ultrasound guided injection to relieve acute or chronic pain relating to your joints or tendons. Ultrasound guided injection enables the area of pain to be targeted more accurately without harming surrounding tissues. Your injection will usually contain a combination of local anaesthetic and a small dose of steroid.

The Procedure:

The clinician will first perform a diagnostic scan to determine the exact location and the extent of the abnormality. Following your consent, the clinician will clean the area overlying the site injection and, with the aid of an ultrasound probe, a small needle will be injected into the site; in the case of tendons, into the sheath around the tendon. The clinician will normally use a mixture of local anaesthetic and steroid.
