Injections
Steroid Injections
Reduce inflammation and swelling in joints, tendons, or bursae. Commonly used for arthritis, tendonitis, and other musculoskeletal pain.
Hyaluronic Acid Injections
Provide cushioning and lubrication in stiff or arthritic joints. Can ease pain and support smoother movement, especially in knees and shoulders.
High Volume Injections
Used to treat frozen shoulder by separating and loosening tight joint tissues. This helps restore movement and reduce pain.
Perineural Injections
Target nerves trapped in scar tissue or tight structures by gently releasing and soothing them. Helps relieve nerve-related pain and improve mobility.
Calcium Barbotage
Ultrasound-guided barbotage uses a fine needle to break up and remove the calcium build up in the shoulder, relieving symptoms and improving movement.
Ganglion Cyst Aspirations
Drain fluid from a painful or unsightly cyst, usually around the wrist or hand. This can help to reduce swelling, ease discomfort, and restore movement.
Other ultrasound-guided procedures
Biopsies
Used to take a small tissue sample to check for signs of disease, such as cancer or infection. This procedure can provide an accurate diagnosis to guide the right treatment.
Fine Needle Aspirations
A quick, minimally invasive procedure using a thin needle to collect cells or fluid. This is commonly used for thyroid nodules, lymph nodes, or lumps under the skin.
