Ultrasound-Guided Injections are a non-surgical treatment option for arthritis joint pain and pain radiating into the legs. The procedure involves delivering pain-relieving medications under ultrasound guidance directly to or near the source of the pain. The medicine can be very effective for some people and may be repeated over time. For patients who cannot participate in physical therapy because of their pain, ultrasound-guided injections can help.
Ultrasound-guided injections are short outpatient procedures that can be given at a surgery center, hospital, or in the office. Your doctor will use a live ultrasound image to carefully insert and guide the needle to the source of your pain and inject the medication.
You will be sent home after the procedure with instructions on how to relieve temporary mild pain at the injection site. Most people resume their regular activities the next day
