Ultrasound-Guided Injections: Revolutionizing Pain Relief and Healing
At Sievers Sports Medicine, we are at the forefront of offering advanced treatment options for athletes and active individuals. Among these, ultrasound-guided injections are a precise method for delivering targeted therapies directly to the source of pain and injury. Utilizing state-of-the-art ultrasound technology, we ensure accurate and effective treatment tailored to each patient’s specific needs.
Understanding Ultrasound-Guided Injections
Ultrasound-guided injections involve using ultrasound imaging to visualize the internal structures of the body in real time. This allows our sports medicine physicians to locate the area of injury precisely and ensure that the injection is accurately delivered. It also enhances the efficacy of the treatment while minimizing discomfort and potential side effects.
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, which can help treat tendonitis
- Corticosteroids, which can help reduce pain and inflammation
- Hyaluronic acid, which can help lubricate the knee joint, reducing knee pain
- Percutaneous Needle Tenotomy or PNT, which is a needling procedure to stimulate healing in damaged tendon, ligament or fascia
When you visit our Portales, NM clinic, our sports medicine specialists will work closely with you to determine if you might benefit from one of our ultrasound-guided injection treatments.
What To Expect During Treatment
Ultrasound-guided injections are simple procedures that require no anesthesia and can be performed in our office. Depending on the treatment, the process should take less than an hour.
Dr. Sievers will begin by numbing the injection location to minimize any discomfort. We’ll then use an ultrasound machine to provide us with real-time imaging of the area targeted for treatment.
Once our doctor finishes the injection, they will give you detailed instructions for what to expect (as it will vary based on your exact treatment) and how to care for the injection site. You may need to restrict activity in the affected area for a set time. You can likely address any post-procedural discomfort with over-the-counter pain medication and ice.
