Ultrasound-Guided Injections

Using ultrasound during an injection lets your provider watch the needle reach its target, which improves accuracy and comfort compared with landmark-only technique.

When It Is Typically Used

  • Joint Injections — Guidance confirms the medication reaches the joint space.
  • Tendon and Bursa Treatment — Small targets benefit most from direct visualization.
  • Fewer Repeat Attempts — Seeing the target reduces the need for a second try.

Working Alongside Other On-Site Services

Guided injection follows naturally from musculoskeletal ultrasound performed in the same office.

What to Expect

Your provider will explain the medication used, what relief to expect, and any activity limits afterward.
