What is an Ultrasound-Guided Joint/MSK Injection?
Ultrasound-guided joint and musculoskeletal (MSK) injections are minimally invasive procedures used to diagnose and treat pain and inflammation in joints and soft tissues. It utilises ultrasound imaging which allows for real-time visualization of the structures being treated and to accurately deliver medications into joints or soft tissues. This technique enhances precision, reducing the risk of complications and improving treatment outcomes.
