Understanding Injection & Image-Guided Therapy
Orthopedic injections deliver medication or regenerative treatments directly to the source of pain. When combined with real-time imaging, these therapies achieve greater accuracy and safety.
Common treatments include:
- Corticosteroid injections: Reduce inflammation and pain in joints and soft tissues.
- Hyaluronic acid injections: Improve lubrication in arthritic joints, especially knees.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy: Uses growth factors from the patient’s blood to stimulate healing.
- Nerve blocks: Target pain pathways for conditions like sciatica or chronic back pain.
These treatments can often delay or reduce the need for surgery.
Signs You May Benefit from Injection Therapy
Consider image-guided injection therapy if you experience:
- Chronic joint pain from arthritis or degeneration
- Persistent swelling and stiffness despite medication or physiotherapy
- Tendon or ligament injuries unresponsive to conservative care
- Sharp or radiating pain from nerve irritation
- Pain that limits mobility or interferes with daily activities
