Imaging Guided Injections
Corticosteroid Injections
Corticosteroid injections are a minimally invasive treatment used to reduce inflammation in joints, tendons, and soft tissues. By delivering anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected area, this therapy helps alleviate pain, restore mobility, and support healing.
Performed under ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance, each injection is precisely placed to maximize safety and effectiveness while minimizing discomfort. The procedure is quick, with minimal downtime, making it a reliable option for managing acute or chronic inflammatory conditions such as bursitis, tendinitis, arthritis, or nerve compression.
What to Expect During PRP Therapy
Corticosteroid injections are designed to quickly reduce inflammation and swelling in joints, tendons, or soft tissues. When delivered under image guidance, the treatment targets the exact source of pain, improving function and comfort.
Comprehensive Evaluation
A thorough assessment and imaging (ultrasound or X-ray fluoroscopy, when indicated) ensure accurate diagnosis and localization of inflammation. This step is essential for planning a safe, effective, and personalized injection.
Medication Preparation
A sterile corticosteroid solution—often combined with a local anesthetic—is prepared according to the patient’s specific condition and treatment site.
Guided Injection
Using ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance, the corticosteroid is precisely administered to the affected area, ensuring optimal delivery and minimizing discomfort.
Comfort & Safety
The procedure is quick, typically taking only a few minutes. Local anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort, and patients can usually resume light activities soon after.
Recovery & Results
Some patients experience relief within 24–48 hours, with the full anti-inflammatory effect developing over several days. Results may last from several weeks to months, depending on the treated condition and individual response.
Peripheral Nerve Block
Peripheral nerve block is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve pain caused by nerve irritation or entrapment. By injecting a precise amount of anesthetic—sometimes combined with corticosteroids or regenerative agents—around a specific nerve, this treatment interrupts pain signals, reduces inflammation, and restores function.
Performed under ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance, it ensures accurate localization of the target nerve and safe medication delivery. Peripheral nerve blocks can be both diagnostic (to identify the source of pain) and therapeutic (to provide long-lasting relief). They may also complement other regenerative approaches such as PRP, nerve hydrodissection, or physical therapy to optimize outcomes.
What to Expect During the Therapy
Supporting your recovery through precision and comfort. Each peripheral nerve block is performed with care to maximize results and safety. The procedure is typically well-tolerated and completed in just a few minutes.
Comprehensive Evaluation
A detailed physical and neurological assessment, combined with advanced imaging (ultrasound or fluoroscopy), helps identify the specific nerve responsible for pain. This ensures accurate diagnosis and precise targeting.
Medication Preparation
A sterile anesthetic solution—often combined with an anti-inflammatory or regenerative compound—is prepared to match the patient’s condition and therapeutic goals.
Guided Injection
Using ultrasound or fluoroscopy, the clinician visualizes the nerve and surrounding structures in real-time. The medication is then carefully delivered around the nerve to interrupt pain transmission while avoiding nearby tissues.
Comfort & Safety
A local anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Most patients experience immediate numbness or warmth in the treated area, indicating successful nerve targeting.
Recovery & Results
Mild soreness at the injection site may occur briefly. Pain relief can last from days to several months, depending on the underlying condition and treatment plan. Some patients experience progressive improvement with repeated or combined regenerative treatments.
