Joint injection is a procedural ultrasound technique where medication, often corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid, is precisely delivered into a joint space to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, or restore lubrication. Ultrasound guidance enhances accuracy, minimizes complications, and allows real-time visualization of needle placement, ensuring optimal therapeutic effect.
This minimally invasive procedure is a cornerstone in musculoskeletal and pain management, effectively treating conditions like osteoarthritis, bursitis, and tendinitis. By leveraging ultrasound, practitioners can target specific anatomical structures, improving patient outcomes and reducing procedural discomfort.
